Bio:
Marillion /mʌˈrɪlˌjən/ are a British rock band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979. They are known as the most successful band to emerge from the United Kingdom's 1980s neo-progressive rock scene,having sold 15 million albums worldwide.Their recorded studio output since 1982 is composed of seventeen albums generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. The band achieved eight Top Ten UK albums between 1983 and 1994, including a Number One album in 1985 with Misplaced Childhood, and during the period the band were fronted by Fish they scored eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single. The first album released with Hogarth, 1989's Seasons End, was another Top Ten hit, and albums continued to chart well until their departure from EMI following the release of their 1996 live album Made Again and the dissipation of the band's mainstream popularity in the late 1990s; save for a resurgence in the mid- to late-2000s,they have essentially been a cult act since then.Marillion have achieved a further twelve Top 40 hit singles in the UK with Hogarth, including 2004's "You're Gone", which charted at No. 7 and is the biggest hit of his tenure. The band continue to tour internationally, and were ranked 38th in Classic Rock's "50 Best Live Acts of All Time" in 2008.Marillion are widely considered to have been one of the first mainstream acts to have fully recognised and tapped the potential for commercial musicians to interact with their fans via the internet, starting in around 1996, and are nowadays often characterised as a rock & roll 'Web Cottage Industry'.The history of the band's use of the Internet is described by Michael Lewis in the book Next: The Future Just Happened as an example of how the Internet is shifting power away from established elites, such as multinational record labels and record producers. The band are renowned for having an extremely dedicated following (often self-termed 'Freaks'),with some fans regularly travelling significant distances to attend single gigs, driven in large part by the close fan base involvement which the band cultivate via their website, podcasts, biennial conventions and regular fanclub publications. The release of their 2001 album Anoraknophobia, which was funded by their fans through advance orders instead of by the band signing to a record company, gained significant attention and was called "a unique funding campaign" by the BBC.Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis described Marillion as "the undisputed pioneers" of fan-funded music.
Album:
earMUSIC is delighted to announce the release of Marillion’s 20th studio album, “An Hour Before It’s Dark”, on March 4, 2022. A first peak into the album is available as of now with the single “Be Hard On Yourself”."An Hour Before It's Dark", whether it's the last hour you were allowed to play outside as a child before you had to go home, a reference to the fight against time in relation to the climate crisis or the last minutes in a person's life, Marillion once again puts the finger on the pulse of time. Be it social, political or personal issues, Marillion has never minced words and has always found a way to combine them with an own unique sound, known for incredible songwriting, melodies and top-notch musicianship, while swimming against the tide, not bending to norms and limitations.“Despite the seemingly bleak contemplations across this album - the virus, our mortality, medical science, care AND Leonard Cohen (ha ha) - the overall feeling of the music is surprisingly upbeat. I think the band is as on form as it ever was really, and the addition of Choir Noir has added another new soul and colour to things.”Like its predecessor, 2016's critically acclaimed and chart-topping album “F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)”, “An Hour Before It's Dark” was recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, which also provided the perfect backdrop for the carefully chosen selection of behind-the-scenes footage in form of a documentary on the making of the album and a performance of “Murder Machines” from Real World that will be released together with the album.Marillion is currently on the road with the "Light At The End Of The Tunnel" tour in the UK, which will be followed by several Marillion weekends until summer 2022 and a major European tour in autumn 2022.Founded in 1979, British rock band Marillion has, over the course of 19 studio albums, become one of the most commercially successful progressive rock bands of the 80s and is still one of the most outstanding representatives of the genre. Marillion embraced the potential of the internet for both its commercial approach and to interact with the audience, long before most of the peers.
