Legendary progressive-rockers Spock's Beard
recently announced that their brand new 12th studio album 'The Oblivion
Particle' is set for release on August 21st, 2015, and now they are pleased to
reveal the first track to be taken from the record.
Fans can listen to the song 'Tides of Time' over at
Soundcloud for 7 days here: https://soundcloud.com/officialinsideoutmusic/spocks-beard-tides-of-time/s-80IYe
Dave Meros previously said of the track: "I think the
opening track 'Tides of Time' is classic Spock's in terms of arrangement and
style, but everything else is fairly different. That said, the whole album is
still within the parameters of what people expect to hear from us."
The band also recently announced European tour dates in
support of the album. The band will be joined by young UK act Synaesthesia and
Hungarian band Special Providence.

Spock's Beard's
forthcoming new studio album The Oblivion Particle is the follow-up to 2013's
Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep. The album finds the band answering the
needs of their creations by utilizing the considerable versatility of each
member. In addition to Ted Leonard's soaring vocals and Dave Meros' distinctive
bass, Alan Morse adds autoharp, banjolele, electric sitar and mandolin to his
array of instruments, drummer Jimmy Keegan takes over lead vocals on
"Bennett Built a Time Machine" and Ryo expands his arsenal of
keyboard sounds throughout the album. In addition, virtuoso Kansas violinist
David Ragsdale lends his touch to the album's majestic closer, "Disappear."
As with the previous album Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless
Sleep, The Oblivion Particle was recorded at The Mouse House and produced by
Rich Mouser, Alan Morse and John Boegehold, a band collaborator of many years.
