Apologies for the back-to-back posts, but Neal just reminded me that the pre-orders for Jesus Christ The Exorcist go live tomorrow morning. Not sure if I'll jump on it, but I know some here might be interested in it! He also says a new video with Ted Leonard will be released as well!

Interesting choice for the first "single." I would have thought that There's a Highway would have been the first, but what do I know? :lol

Listening to Get Behind Me Satan now. Very strange to see Eric on drums.

Ask Joel to get it for you, I think he can ship it to you for less than that!

I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.

That is true, but to be fair, the answer was also in the video's description:

Quote
Today, the first song from this masterpiece has been unveiled, "Get Behind Me Satan". "I don’t know why it came to me in quite this way, but definitely the influences on this song are Black Sabbath and Deep Purple primarily. I even asked Rich Mouser when he was mixing the song to listen to “Paranoid“ because I thought that vocal effect would be cool on Ted’s (Leonard) voice," says Morse of the track.

He's also the current lead singer of Spock's Beard!

Psh, that's nothing.

He's also the lead singer of Rolling Heads, a California cover band with his wife Denise, and two guys named Dave Meros and Jimmy Keegan.

For crying out loud, they've played for Google and Comcast!!!

(Not going to lie, looking at their master song list, it sounds like they put on a kickass show with some great cover tunes. Would LOVE to hear them play these songs!)

Ask Joel to get it for you, I think he can ship it to you for less than that!

Thanks Jorge! But I think I'll order it from Amazon.. Or maybe there will be another limited edition on a German online store like EMP or JPC.

Neal Morse
Neal Morse has revealed that he’ll release his rock opera album Jesus Christ: The Exorcist this summer.

Morse revealed he was working on the double album in September last year and that he would be joined on the record by his former Spock’s Beard bandmate Nick D'Virgilio, current Spock’s Beard frontman Ted Leonard, Eric Gillette, Randy George, Bill Hubauer and Matt Smith.

Jesus Christ: The Exorcist will launch on June 14 via Frontiers Music srl on 2CD, 3LP and on digital and streaming platforms.

Morse says on the album’s sound: “It’s completely diverse. There are touching ballads, rousing ensemble pieces, classical elements and dramatic Broadway musical type songs as well.

“It’s really meant to be listened and experienced all the way through as you would a play or an opera. I hope that people will experience it in that way because I think that’s where they will really find the power in it.

It’s meant to be listened and experienced all the way through as you would a play or an opera

Neal Morse
“These songs and pieces of music were all written specifically for this project. I wrote the first draft in 2008 and 2009, I believe. Then, last year in preparation for a performance at MorseFest I rewrote the whole musical again."

Morse adds: "I couldn’t be happier with the final outcome and I am thrilled that it is coming out on Frontiers this June.”

To mark the album announcement, Morse has released a video for Get Behind Me Satan featuring guest vocals from Leonard.

Morse explains: ”I don’t know why it came to me in quite this way, but definitely the influences on this song are Black Sabbath and Deep Purple primarily. I even asked Rich Mouser when he was mixing the song to listen to Paranoid because I thought that vocal effect would be cool on Ted’s voice.”

Jesus Christ: The Exorcist is now available for pre-order. Find further details below.

Ordered mine through Radiant. Rolled the dice (I got TSOAD late...). But amazon was just as expensive. I’ll pay for the shipping and hope I get it earlier this way.

Can’t wait, live it was awesome hopefully album version will be too.

Radiant just released the March IC download - a video of the band doing a listen-thru of TGA, similar to what Neal did for TSOAD but with everyone this time!

-Marc.

I watched all of this last night finally...very entertaining!!  I was a bit worried that it would be the Neal and Portnoy show since they are the too most talkative and loudest personalities in the band, but Bill was very chatty, and Eric even talked a bit more than I expected, while Neal was his usual jokey self ("Fun With Themes!"  :lol :lol).  Honestly, it is cool just to hear the five talk about how they put it all together, made changes here and there, how this little part here has this little note there, etc.  The amount of talent and skill in the room was something to behold.  :hefdaddy :hefdaddy

As it always is for me with new albums, The Great Adventure is having its "second spring". Shame that this is happening right before one of the hardest exams in my whole studies, though. I always have the melodies in my head, but I never have time to listen to it :D

Anyway, I think it's truly a grandiose album. A few more months may be needed to determine if I even like it better than the Similitude. But I think I do. More cohesive. Amazing album.

It will never touch Similitude in my eyes, but I still like it a lot. The Great Despair is the clear standout for me, and the song I listen to the most is probably Hey Ho Let's Go.  That is such a fun little song!
