Genesis guitar legend, Steve Hackett, is set to release his latest album ‘The Night Siren’ on March 24th, 2017 through InsideOut Music (Sony). As implied in the title, ‘The Night Siren’ is a wake-up call… the warning of a siren sounding in this era of strife and division.
Today sees the release of a brand new video for the album’s opening track ‘Behind The Smoke’, which you can see now here:
Steve comments: “I’m thrilled with this video for the track ‘Behind the Smoke’ from my new album The Night Siren. Director Ivan and the I-Code team have created an extraordinary film here resembling an epic movie! It perfectly matches the song, which laments the predicament of refugees throughout the ages. More compassion is needed in this world for those escaping persecution and death.”

“The genesis of the ‘Coma Ecliptic’ filming was based around capturing the look and feel of the show our lighting director Chris Hill produced for the full album set. It’s such an important record for us and our progression as a band and the visual representation captures the moods of our tragic tale so well. It’s the perfect way to wrap up the last two years we’ve been living with this album day in and day out!” – Dan

It looks like what once seemed impossible is going to happen. Jon Anderson will perform once again with Yes. At the induction ceremony for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7th, the Yes members getting inducted, Steve Howe, Alan White, Rick Wakeman, Tony Kaye, Bill Bruford, Trevor Rabin, and Jon Anderson are all expected to be on hand and perform. Chris Squire is expected to be honored.
In an interview with Billboard, Jon Anderson explained, “We’re definitely connected,” said Anderson — who’s currently working with Wakeman and Rabin as ARW. “It’s a family. There’s always animosity. People that you love you don’t always like, and there’s always going to be that. But when you’re celebrating who you truly are, you forget about all that and just get on with meeting each other and seeing each other, and it’s just one of those things. It’s not a problem; We’ll just get together and have fun. Music is a healing force on every level.”
Trevor Rabin also added, “I’m not actually too sure about what other people feel, and I really just don’t care one way or the other,” the guitarist says. “For the last 17 years I’ve really been in a different world, doing film scores, so animosities don’t come from me. It’s a really good feeling. It really is something that feels important, a really phenomenal feeling.”
Anderson says in the interview that Rush’s Geddy Lee is going to induct them and that he was going to play “Roundabout” with them, although later in an update, Billboard stated that the Hall of Fame says Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are only scheduled to induct the group but not perform. The show will be broadcast on HBO on April 29th.
