Citizen Cain's Stewart Bell New Album OUT NOW!!

The Antechamber Of Being. Released on Oct 23rd 2014 – The much anticipated debut solo album from the band’s main composer and keys player Stewart Bell, is a prog rock opera featuring five vocalists; Simone Rossetti, Arjen Anthony Lucassen, Bekah Mhairi Comrie, Phil Allen and Stewart himself. The story is based on his own experiences as a lifelong lucid dreamer and follows the adventures of a young boy as he grows up and masters the ability to control his dreams.

Stewart has also produced a 28 page picture book entitled “The Cupboard of Fear” to accompany this release. Available seperately this 23 x 18 cm full colour storybook chronicles the events from the first song on this epic concept album. It contains 12 original drawings by Stewart Bell and tells the story of the main character, The Dreamer, as he takes control of his dreams and becomes lucid for the first time.

Both are available from the band's website www.citizencain.nl where you also can listen to previews of the tracks or read a preview of the storybook.

I just purchased a digital copy from the Citizen Cain website. Can't wait to hear it all !

Thanks for your help yam yam, what would be required samples wise and where should i send them? Also, where would you suggest I post full tracks for people like yourself who'd like to hear them before buying?

I got this CD alongside 50 odd other promos that arrived in a few days span a week or two ago. Once I'll get to this specific album and I have formed an opinion on a suitable placement in the database here I'll submit the suggestion with an appropriate amount of samples to the genre team in question - if that sounds OK.

thanks for the advice yamyam and thanks for your help windhawk. Can this at least be linked from the Citizen Cain page? I (Stewart Bell) consider this to be the next C-Cain release, the only difference being that Cyrus is not on vocals and, with myself having been the main composer this is really the next evolutionary step for C-Cain. It wouldnt be very prudent to start from scratch with a solo career...?

thanks Windhawk, Ive sent a copy off to Progstreaming so it should be available on there soon :) Incidentally will you be doing a review of the album?

This will be on Progstreaming in about a week or two.

any news on this album getting included on here? It would be nice if people could rate and review it? Thanks
