AZURE: Release New EP "Redtail."
November 21, 2018
Formed in Brighton UK, Azure have a melodically driven sound reminiscent of early Dream Theater with elements of modern synth pop's hooks and production, bringing to life their complex fantasy narratives. While their 2017 full length album "Wish For Spring" was a diverse mix of indulgent progressive epics and shorter explosive singles, their new EP "Redtail" is a focused, 20 minute effort of progressive metal storytelling. Hard at work fine tuning their live show, 2019 holds promise for extensive gigging, alongside the release of a brand new LP combining the approaches of the two previous releases.
Press Quotes:
Prog Talk (on Wish For Spring):
"With Wish For Spring, Azure has breathed new life into the seemingly doomed prog stereotype with daring vocals, exciting song concepts and a pinch of sex appeal that makes for one of the strongest prog records from this year so far."

Heavy Blog (on Redtail):
There's so much more happening on this track throughout its twenty minute run (like the crazy synth section near the middle, which calls to mind those Canterbury influences), but that kind of innocent, unapologetic, and over the top quality is maintained all along and, honestly, thank God for that. It means that Redtail is a thrilling journey to go on again and again, never losing its shine because it shines so damn bright.
