Progressive power metal fans, have we got a band for you. Redemption was hand picked by Dream Theater to play support for Summer ‘07 tour and features vocalist Ray Alder of the legendary Fates Warning. Those two facts alone should tip you off that you’re about to hear something cool.

Redemption’s fourth studio album, Snowfall on Judgment Day, comes out September 28 on Inside Out Music. You can get a free taste – damn right, we said free!!! – of a new track, “Leviathan Rising,” below. Give it a listen. There’s a damn good reason these fellas have the DT seal of approval.

And don’t forget to visit Redemption on MySpace for more music and the latest news on the band.

Redemption, “Leviathan Rising”

• FORMER MEMBER OF GN’R NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT DELIVERS HIS REACTION TO CHINESE DEMOCRACY TO A MIRROR: “Yes, I listened to it on a long drive to Phoenix, Arizona,” ex-GN’R rhythm guitarist Gilby ‘I Swear I’m Not Izzy’ Clarke allegedly told “a fan” (actually his reflection). “But there was [sic] too many slow-to-midtempo songs on it for my taste and some of the solos are a little overdone; they don’t match the song.” When the “fan” flattered Clarke by saying the album’s solos would have been vastly superior had Clarke played them, he chuckled modestly: “You’re too kind. Too kind.”
• CLINT LOWERY SAYS DARK NEW DAY’S FUTURE “DOESN’T LOOK GOOD.” Also: water is wet.
• MEMBERS OF SHADOWS FALL AND FATES WARNING JOIN FORCES IN 80′S METAL COVER BAND NAMED AFTER THE “BAD” DOJO IN THE KARATE KID: Still less fucktarded than being named after the dude from The Neverending Story.
