Thousand Years of Light (TYOL) are an English progressive rock band formed in 2015 by Simon Trundle, Nick Perry, Tim Chapple and former guitarist John Weathered Warner. 

TYOL’s early 2015 sessions were unashamedly reflective of Hawkwind, using space rock, prog and elements of psychedelia.  After John’s departure in February 2017, TYOL began to rework their material with current guitarist Si Spring. 

Si has inspired TYOL to develop a powerful, retro, prog rock sound with the use of increasingly atmospheric and dramatic arrangements, richer melodies and dynamically combining  grinding, powerful guitars with long, drifting lead breaks. The instrumental passages provide a platform for the very Individual and haunting voice of Perry to deliver his epic and sometimes grandiose lyrics,  that are in no way eclipsed by the band’s bizarre stage names including Baron Von T, Mirrorhead, Didier Pulsar and Pan Zooot.

Thousand Years of Light remain contemporary despite their influences and perhaps could best be described as, 21st century prog!

At the moment we are using digital recorders to capture live sessions - It's difficult for us (and I'm sure many others in the genre) to put together the budget for a full album. Back in 2006/7 I was a member of The SGT Project - we spent many months in rehearsal before recording an album, which promptly sank without trace :)



The music scene down in Cornwall is difficult for anyone pursuing an original / alternative path.

Thanks to everyone for listening!
