The prog rock supergroup The Prog Collective, spearheaded by much heralded producer\/musician and member of prog royalty Yes, Billy Sherwood, returns with a timely and magnificent new studio album,\u00a0Worlds On Hold<\/em>!\u00a0This is the first release under the Prog Collective moniker since 2013\u2019s\u00a0Epilogue<\/em>, which was the follow-up album to the massively popular self-titled debut album released in 2012. Just as with those previous efforts, Sherwood has gathered some of the most proficient and prolific artists from all over the globe including Rock Hall Of Fame nominee Todd Rundgren, Rock Hall member Steve Hackett (of Genesis), founding guitarist of Dutch legends Focus Jan Akkerman, former Guns N\u2019 Roses guitarist Ron \u201cBumblefoot\u201d Thal, electric violinist L. Shankar, renowned keyboardist and former Dream Theater member Derek Sherinian, and so many more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


For\u00a0Worlds On Hold<\/em>, producer and band leader Billy Sherwood chose to split the album between new compositions on one side and spectacular versions of familiar classics on the other. The songs covered include Peter Gabriel\u2019s \u201cSolsbury Hill,\u201d Alan Parson\u2019s\u00a0Project\u2019s \u201cEye In The Sky,\u201d Procol Harem\u2019s \u201cA Whiter Shade Of Pale\u201d and The Moody Blues\u2019 \u201cNights In White Satin.\u201d In addition, the set includes 3 previously released bonus tracks of Billy Sherwood produced cover versions. It truly is the best of both worlds!
For a taste of what\u2019s in store, check out the album\u2019s first single \u201cTwo Trajectories\u201d featuring founding vocalist for prog metal icons Queensr\u00ffche, Geoff Tate, which has been released as a digital single. The song is a complex and moving composition that showcases not only Tate\u2019s incredible range but also the sleek and stupefying guitar work of superstar shredder Ron Thal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Sherwood declares, \u201cIt was an honor and a pleasure to work with Geoff Tate on the song. He brought so much emotion and character to the vocal. I\u2019m looking forward to people hearing this track along with all the others on the new Prog Collective record!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The feeling is mutual for Tate, who says \u201cYes was one of my earliest influences and working with Billy was very special to me. I loved singing the track \u2018Two Trajectories.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
