Garden

The EP is out! Go and listen to it at the following link... Somewhere Else | Garden If you like it, you would do us a huge favour by sharing it with anybody who might be interested. Cheers very much and enjoy the EP

"Somewhere Else" will be released this Saturday 21st September, we've released one of the songs as a single in the run-up, so have a listen and check out facebook and bandcamp for the full release this weekend.

We just uploaded a sampler for our upcoming EP containing excerpts from each of the tracks, have a listen and do share it if you like what you hear. It's the closest thing we'll have to a single to promote the EP prior to its release so any assistance is greatly appreciated!

The last recording update is online, with a real mixture of violin, bass, piano, saxophone and some backing vocals!

The third installment of our recording updates for EP #2 is now online, featuring cello and bass guitar recordings.

Oh okay haha, it did seem a bit like a telling off, but it's a fair point! As it happens I'm criminally out of touch with metal and contemporary music in general so it's not a bad idea to lurk at the very least... In the meantime, our second update is online, featuring saxophone, clarinet and incoherent mumbling!

Pardon me, I didn't realise it was frowned upon.

We're in the middle of recording our second EP and have just uploaded a video of the progress so far. Have a wee look if you fancy! Cheers

The debut EP has long been released over at facebook at bandcamp, links are in the signature. I just spotted a visit to bandcamp from this thread, which I actually thought had disappeared a while ago, so I'll post any updates here from now on.

Shameless bump in order to include new signature with links...! In other news, we've just started rehearsing the second EP, which should be out this Summer! Considerable lineup change-up, including a percussionist, alongside kit. It'll be a collaborative process and I'm not sure how it'll turn out but it's exciting nonetheless.

Garden are a prog/symphonic/power metal sort of band featuring violin, cello, sax, flute & clarinet alongside the typical prog metal setup up guitars, drums, keys and vocals. The music is somewhere along the lines of bands like Kamelot, Dream Theater & Symphony X but with a slightly more evident unfluence from classic bands such as Yes & Jethro Tull, and a greater emphasis on the use of authentic instruments than comparable metal acts. We've just released our first self-recorded EP, which can be heard at facebook or bandcamp. Have a listen, a "like" and a share if you feel so inclined, cheers! www.facebook.com/gardenprog garden.bandcamp.com

Re: Garden - Prog Symphonic/Power metal We've just uploaded another first-mix of a song from the upcoming EP. It's called North and is what you *might* be tempted to call a ballad. Nevermind what one calls it, it features some of the softer material that will make up our first release, as well as some of the more vicious segments. Have a listen, and "like" the facebook page if you use the site. https://www.facebook.com/gardenprog http://garden.bandcamp.com/track/north P.S the songs we've uploaded so far (with the exception of Incubus) are dead quiet as I've no idea how to master in logic. Just turn up the volume, of course, but the final release will be at a more appropriate volume.

Re: Garden - Prog Symphonic/Power metal There is now a full, first mix of Freya's Song. The EP is taking longer than expected but this song is complete, have a listen at Facebook or Soundcloud, and do "like", follow or share if you fancy!

Re: Garden - Prog Symphonic/Power metal I've just done a preliminary mix of "Freya's Song" from our upcoming debut EP, please have a listen to the sample, and if you like it, please spread the word and "like" the facebook page or follow us on soundcloud!
