Release date for new album "Timeless"

19:38 Edit This



Hi there,

the new album "Timeless" will be released on monday 21st Feb !!

Barely one year after "Planet Earth" comes "Timeless", the brand new studio album from The Watch.
Hot off an extensive tour in 2010 which touched most of Europe and the USA and Canada, ("The Watch plays Genesis") in which the band merged their own music with some Genesis classics for a unique result that has been defined as a must also for all Genesis fans, The Watch are back with a new studio breakthrough: borrowing themes from Genesis's very first album "From Genesis to Revelation" and re-shaping them to create brand new songs bound to become classics. Keeping the original musical flavour that allowed the very young members of Genesis to prove their talent to the world, but adding the typical musical flair and energy people know and love from The Watch.

The result is a 10 song album, 7 original songs and 3 reinterpretations of very early '69 - '70 Genesis tracks. On one of these John Hackett, Genesis's guitarst brother, joins the band with his flute and another one is a great performance of Genesis's Stagnation, taken from the 2010 shows giving newcomers an idea of how incredible and "timeless" that music and this band can sound when performing Genesis. Don't take our word for it! It has to be heard to be believed!


The Watch - Timeless

All music by The Watch except for: "In the wilderness", "Let us now make love" and "Stagnation" music by Genesis
Lyrics by Antonio De Sarno except for: "In the wilderness", "Let us now make love" and "Stagnation" lyrics by Genesis

September news

19:24 Edit This
Hi !

Back from summer days, the band is hardly working on the new album. There
will be 11 track on it, 4 of them will be covers taken from "From Genesis
to Revelation" period and 'though the whole album is inspered by those very
nice and delicate days, you will find The Watch typical sound in all
original compositions and all the tracks will sound very powerful or
sometimes soft, with the usual care for melodies the band is famous for..
we really hope to let you hear a few excerpts soon, hopefully before the
US-Canada tour.

Days are passing very fast and october is approaching, this means the band
to come back on stage for two great festivals in belgium and UK, Prog
Resiste and Summer's end. Moreover we all are looking forward to get to the
US and Canada for the first extensive tour for the band in those countries,
we're all very excited !

Cheers,
The Watch
