For those unfamiliar with the group; Galaxy was a band from the north of the Netherlands that existed from 1983 to 1997. The band members started playing together at a very young age (Ard Offers was 11 when he joined his 2.5 year older brother in Galaxy in 1983).Over the years they released several demo tapes, a single and the mini CD: Back Before the Storm.Although most of their releases were positively reviewed by the regional and national music press, it did not come to a definitive breakthrough.With their last lineup, formed in 1992, they recorded an album in 1997 that was sadly never released. But now, 25 years later, “Runaway Men” will be finally released. The album is supported by the release of the single 'Talk to me'.

	I’m not so much into the metal scene, but these guys sound pretty good. I might give them a try.

	Cool, I like it, looking forward to see this release at last after 25 years. It's obvious that at least this single sounded like late '90s, that was the prog metal peak. nice, good vocals, instrumental, all

	The rest of the tracks are more in the 90s neo prog style. You can listen to the teaser at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymn3nEoWEQU. I am sure you will like the album.
