UK ROCKERS TOUCHSTONE SET TO RELEASE NEW STUDIO ALBUM
THROUGH HEAR NO EVIL / CHERRY RED
RECORDS
OCTOBER TOUR DATES WITH VON HERTZEN BROTHERS
ANNOUNCED
UK five-piece rock band TOUCHSTONE are excited to
reveal they have signed an exclusive deal with Hear No Evil Recordings/Cherry
Red Records for their much-anticipated 4th studio album
‘Oceans Of Time’, which is due to be released on 7th October
2013.
The release of the new album will
be supported by a 6-date UK tour in October, where they will be joined by
co-headliners Von Hertzen Brothers from
Finland.
The band comment: "TOUCHSTONE
are delighted to have signed to Hear No Evil Recordings for the release of our
new album, Oceans Of Time. We are very much looking forward to working alongside
Hugh Gilmour, the label manager, and to being a part of the bigger Cherry Red
Records stable.”
‘Oceans Of Time’ features 11 tracks
recorded and produced at Outhouse Studios by renowned producer John
Mitchell (You Me At Six, Lower Than Atlantis, Funeral For A
Friend), and is the successor to Touchstone’s
previous albums: The City
Sleeps (2011), Wintercoast (2009) and Discordant
Dreams (2007).
On this eagerly awaited new album,
the band continue their “Wintercoast” story with the dynamic, moving epic title
track ‘Oceans Of Time’; the sequel to the title tracks
of Wintercoast and The City Sleeps. Another familiar theme comes
from ‘Shadow’s End’, the final part of the Shadow trilogy, which
started with the track ‘Shadow’, from Discordant
Dreams. Fans will enjoy a more guitar-orientated sound
from Oceans Of Time than previous albums due to the nature of the writing
process.
All the music is written
by Touchstone, with lyrics by lead
vocalist Kim “Elkie” Seviour, and keys man Robert
Cottingham, whilst guitarist Adam Hodgson again designed the cover
artwork.
Label manager Hugh Gilmour
comments on the signing: “Touchstone are very much a fresh
and exciting addition to the Hear No Evil roster, with a modern album that
strikes a perfect balance between classic, melodic prog and more streamlined,
contemporary hard rock.”
Oceans Of Time is released October
7 through Hear No Evil/Cherry Red Records.
