TRANSATLANTIC FLIES AGAIN!!!
 
PROGRESSIVE ROCK SUPERGROUP
REUNITES FOR NEW STUDIO ALBUM.
POSSIBLE LATE 2009 RELEASE PLANNED.
 
 
 
TRANSATLANTIC, the progressive rock "supergroup" comprised of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Pete Trewavas (Marillion), Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings) and Neal Morse (ex-Spock's Beard), have reunited after a 7 year hiatus to begin work on a brand new studio album.
 
The band began work on the album in early April in Nashville and are expected to have it released by year's end if all goes as planned.
 
TRANSATLANTIC have previously released two studio albums to tremendous critical and fan acclaim: 2000's SMPTe and 2001's Bridge Across Forever. The band toured on the heels of each release with an American Tour in 2000 and a European Tour in 2001 and released subsequent Live DVD's/CD's from both tours before going their separate ways for an indefinite hiatus which lasted almost the entire decade.

Oooooooo!  That's very cool and unexpected news.  Wouldn't that be a nice Christmas gift?  I wonder if they'll do any live shows.

OMG super psyched to read that I never though it would happen, whatever next Neal Morse rejoins Spock's Beard?

Was super lucky to see Transatlantic live although I remember somebody here wasn't overly impressed with their live DVD I guess you had  to be there and be a fan.  I'd go see them again without hesitation

[Pajter]

ARGH YES!

Transat-fucking-lantic!

They're one of my all time favorite bands. I was at the 013 show they shot for their last DVD. Such a memorable evening.

I for one, can't wait to hear this new album. If the last albums are anything to go by, this thing will KICK.ASS.

PSYCHED!

[gr8gonzo]

I hope they do forty 2 minute songs.

This is excellent news if somewhat unexpected! I trust Neal Morse won't be singing about God and Jesus all the time on this new album though...  :|
