SPECTRE

"Greetings Earthlings" from the progrock trio SPECTRE

Some Spectre news.

Spectre is taking a break but will be working together on something new next year. Everyone is finishing up projects so we can put the proper amount of time on a fresh new album. The next one will be a little more song based but with some smaller dashes of madness thrown in for good measure. We will keep you posted. Cheers, SPECTRE

Spectre, Eloign, Ghost, Umbra - only a few words that begin to describe the core of North America's newest symphonic progressive rock trio, Spectre. Founded by drummer, Brian "Weapon" Smith, Spectre has been compared to a melting pot of classic groups such as Styx, ELP, Yes, Rush, and Genesis, among many others but described as a “modern version on steroids.” After combining forces with keyboardist Bob Sundgren and Soundscape guitar virtuoso Todd Rose, they based their foundation on writing good songs with excellent musicianship and some Hollywood-style theatrics to boot.” Most of all we like to have fun!"



The songs have a story, and twenty-minute musical tangents are banned. However, musicians will not be bored with Spectre's arrangements and musical abilities. "There is a point to our complexity, but not the point of being ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous," comments Merlin Sundgren. "We like to play many scales, but only if it compliments and enhances our music. I think seeing how Brian and Todd have come from progressive backgrounds, they have both matured and learned how to do progressive tastefully at this point in their careers." Or is it a musical madness? I guess that depends on whom you ask in the band.



Hold on to your seats because these guys exhibit high-energy chops and fun Hollywood-style, Sci-Fi song content!



Is this X-files meets progressive music?



You decide.
