The main riff & groove stemmed from an idea Randy George brought in and the chorus was something Bill had…and the intro and middle shred riffs were Eric’s…another truly collaborative effort!” Watch the video for the album’s first single “Do It All Again” here: https://youtu.be/PiNt_kQvoag Watch a clip from “The Making of Innocence & Danger” here: https://youtu.be/piRaLvCPbQI ‘Innocence & Danger’, featuring artwork by Thomas Ewerhard (Transatlantic), will be available as: • Limited 2CD+DVD Digipak (featuring a Making Of documentary) • 3LP+2CD Boxset • Standard 2CD Jewelcase • Digital Album Pre-order now here: https://thenealmorseband.lnk.to/InnocenceAndDanger ![]() across US and Europe here: https://www.nealmorse.com/2021/06/18/nmbtourdates/ USA 2021 Oct 8th & 9th – Cross Plains, TN – Morsefest 2021 Oct 12th – Seattle, WA – The Triple Door Oct 14th – St Charles, IL – The Arcada Oct 15th – Pontiac, MI – The Crofoot Ballroom Oct 16th – Ft Wayne, IN – Pieres Oct 17th – Cleveland, OH – The Beachland Ballroom Oct 19th – Glenside, PA – The Keswick Theater Oct 20th – Baltimore, MD – Soundstage Oct 21st – Boston, MA – The Sinclair Oct 22nd – New York City, NY – The Sony Theater Europe 2022 May 28th – Madrid, Spain – Teatro Kapital May 29th – Barcelona, Spain – Apolo May 30th – Milan, Italy – Live Club May 31st – Pratteln, Switzerland – Z7 June 2nd – Tilburg, Netherlands – 013 June 3rd – London, England – Shepherds Bush Empire June 4th – Paris, France – Trianon June 5th – Esch Sur Alzette, Luxembourg – Rockhal June 7th – Cologne, Germany – Live Music Hall June 9th – Brno, Czech Republic – Sono June 10th – Krakow, Poland – Studio Club June 11th – Warsaw, Poland – Progresja June 13th – Hamburg, Germany – Markthalle June 15th – Copenhagen, Denmark – Amager Bio June 16th – Gothenburg, Sweden – Pustervik June 17th – Oslo, Norway – Cosmopolite June 18th – Stockholm, Sweden – Lilla Cirkus *** With NMB’s previous two releases being concept albums, it’s perhaps remarkable that Innocence & Danger is a series of unrelated songs, but drummer Mike Portnoy says “After two sprawling back to back double concept albums in a row, it was refreshing to get back to writing a collection of unrelated individual songs in the vein of our first album.” Indeed, making this album came easy to the band; while the initial inspiration came particularly from Bill Hubauer (keyboards) and Randy George (bass), the ideas flowed from everybody from there on, as George recalls: “I am excited about the level of collaboration that we achieved on this one. We even went in with a lot of ideas that weren’t necessarily developed, and I think in the end we have something that represents the best of everybody in the band.” In fact – like its two acclaimed predecessors – Innocence & Danger is a double album by inspiration, rather than design, as Portnoy explains: “As much as we wanted to try and keep it to a single album after having just done two double albums, we wrote so much material that we found ourselves with our third double album in a row! That’s pretty prog!” There is also plenty in Innocence & Danger to excite those prog fans who have a thirst for epics, as Neal Morse explains: “There’s one half hour epic and another that’s about 20 minutes long. I really didn’t realize that they were that long when we were recording them, which I guess is great because if a movie is really good, you don’t realize that it’s three hours long! But there are also some shorter songs: some have poppier elements, some are heavier and some have three part acoustic sections. I’m excited about all of it, really.” NMB (Neal Morse Band) is Neal Morse (vocals, keyboards and guitars) Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals) Randy George (bass) Eric Gillette (guitars, vocals) Bill Hubauer (keyboards, vocals)NMB ONLINE:www.facebook.com/The-Neal-Morse-Band www.instagram.com/thenealmorsebandofficial www.twitter.com/nealmorseband1 INSIDEOUT MUSIC online:www.insideoutmusic.com www.youtube.com/InsideOutMusicTV www.facebook.com/InsideOutMusic www.twitter.com/InsideOutUSA InsideOutMusic.Store Spotify: Prog Metal Playlist Spotify: Prog Rock Playlist |
