Steve Hackett and Agents Of Mercy vocalist Nad Sylvan has announced that his new solo album will be released later this year.

Titled The Bride Said No, it’ll launch on May 26 via InsideOut Music on digipak CD, gatefold 2LP/CD and digital download.

Sylvan will be joined on the follow-up to 2015’s Courting The Widow by a wide range of guest musicians including Roine Stolt, Steve Hackett, Guthrie Govan, Tony Levin, Jonas Reingold, Nick D’Virgilio and Doane Perry.

Sylvan says: “Last year, I was lucky to find a gap from all the hectic touring with Steve Hackett so that I could write and record a new album – all done in only six months.

“The music came very easily for me this time, which gives the album a slightly more coherent feel than that of my previous releases.

“Surrounded by top notch musicians, the delivery is more than one could ask for. They truly put their heart and soul into every single note sung and played.”

He adds: “And so the Vampirate’s journey continues into modern times. Hope you will enjoy this one as much as I did creating it.”
