Date Posted: March 10 2018 at 19:10
| Has anyone heard from Phideaux recently? Last email from him to me was about two years ago (since then i lost his email address) when i was asking him about his upcoming album. He has told me that they were about to go into the recording sessions and he was waiting for the engineer's time to be freed up. Well that was long time ago. I hope everything with him is OK and he is working on the next release. Does anyone have any news? |

Xavier Phideaux's Facebook page has been unavailable for a year and half. I think Xavier got tired of being pestered about Infernal. I read that- Phideaux violin player Ariel Farber commented (about 2 months ago) that there are reasons to be optimistic for a Late 2018 release. If your aching for everything, anything, something Phideaux, tune into Xavier Phideaux's directed "General Hospital" episode on March 19, 2018. Staring Matt Cohen, Greg Evigan, Rebeca Herbst, and Kelly Monoco!

greetings my friends. Although I had to leave the world for awhile, my cold asteroid became too lonely, so I am back. I have news of my new album Infernal, which will arrive late July/earlly August. I'm very happy to finally have it done - although I have to say the slow nature off finishing it allowed me to examine many possibilities and fix problems I didn't perceive initially. In truth, between work requirements and inability to get time with my engineer, it has been difficult to find the time to finish. But, now it's done - being mastered now, artwork ready for printing. Double LP - clear red vinyl Double CD - mini LP format sleeve I hope everyone enjoys it. Meanwhile there is an EP coming out late May with one or two songs from the album, plus some other unreleased things and alternate versions of tracks from the album. Thanks for you interest and support. I promise you'll hear more from me sooner than you think. Much love Phideaux |

Just ordered the new EP from Kinesis (apparently, they've made an exception to not getting anything new in stock for Phideaux).

Once a band is in everyone is free to add albums. I think Mayer added it. Just for future purposes, and that goes for everyone: it'd be nice if we could wait just a wee bit longer before we add an album to the database. I know because I've already deleted Infernal once in the past...and woe and behold if there wasn't already a couple of Nostradamuses who'd rated the album 5 stars. Nahh better just to wait until the album is out among early reviewers/promo copy go-getters. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Many albums have a preorder long before the album is out, when the info is available no reason not to post it, you would not be happy that let's say the Vinyl Is sold out on the release day and you wish that you got one

Lots of reasons not to post it - most noteably to stop idiots from rating the album before it's out on the street. When I was part of the admin team I could've spent all day deleting bogus rating on Steven Wilson's/Dream Theater's/Transatlantic's newest album. As for announcing the occation? We've got a whole dedicated subforum for that ie Prog News, which incidentally also is linked to via the frontpage. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Has anyone heard the new Phideaux EP "We Only Have Eyes For You"? I stumbled across it on Bandcamp, and I think it is really worth a listen, it is excellent to my ears and a great teaser for the upcoming album. Each track blends right to the next, making it feel almost like a nice 20 minute epic. I especially love The Sleepers Wake, it is a really excellent track. It is just really refreshing to hear new Phideaux music, and I can't wait for the full length album. I'll be first in line to pre-order when it becomes available. Here is the bandcamp link: https://mrmdistribution.bandcamp.com/album/we-only-have-eyes-for-you-ep Just wanted to see if anybody else had any thoughts because I hadn't seen any yet. ------------- Please check out my Progressive Music Blog: http://leviathanprog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - The Leviathan . |

I enjoy Phideaux's music a lot and have collected nearly all his releases so far, so particularly looking forward to the release of Infernal. I hope that this will also be available through Bandcamp. |

| I went to preorder the Infernal LP from Just for Kicks Music's website and it said the release date was now September 7th. I emailed them about this and they said that the artist informed them that the release date had been postponed. I hope this isn't a bad sign and we go another 5 years with no information. |

Finally, the new album by Phideaux will be released soon. Good news. Phideaux is better on each and every album. Snowtorch is really fantastic. I saw his band live in Quebec City a few years ago and it was really good. |

Review of the new album over on DPRP now. Sounds like the wait was worth it. Although there is this caveat so who really knows: "Infernal has been a long time coming. It was first expected in
2013 and after numerous delayed release dates, it appears that it is
finally ready to be released later this year." ------------- Biggles was in rehab last Saturday |

Good afternoon People of the World. I was going to post that I have a
new album coming out, but then I saw this thread, so I will use this instead. As you know I've been working on my double album, Infernal for the past 7 years. Now, it's coming out - September 9, although it might be moved up for delivery early on Amazon. Since this is the "Press releases" thread, here's the official press release: Phideaux to Release “Infernal” in September: Double the Doom, Twice the Fun Los Angeles, CA — US based artist Phideaux Xavier makes his long awaited return from a seven year hiatus with Infernal. The much anticipated release is a double album of fear, terror, and perhaps a ray of hope that will finally see the light of day on September 9, 2018. Infernal will be available in double red vinyl as well as 2 CDs in a gatefold mini-LP format. Infernal is the final installment of Phideaux’s trilogy of albums that began in 2006 with The Great Leap. The second installment, Doomsday Afternoon, was a bombastic and complex opus, utilizing a 12 piece section of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra among a bevy of other musicians, old and new. Released in 2007, Doomsday garnered the attention of the progressive rock communities in the US and Europe. The many accolades and increasing interest led to invitations for Phideaux to play various festivals, such as RoSfest (US), Summer’s End (UK), Crescendo (France), and Terra Incognita (Canada). While Phideaux has released other albums since Doomsday Afternoon (Number Seven, Snowtorch), Infernal returns to the stunning artwork and musical DNA from which the first two albums in the trilogy were created. The singular "eco terror tale" continues with Infernal. Cryptic, melodic, mysterious and frightening, this new release is all one might hope to find within Phideaux’s new double creation. Infernal is "the end we saw begin”. At last. |

I snuck a peek yesterday and am thoroughly looking forward to the full kahuna. Please don't let us wait another 6 years again Xavier!  What I did notice about my granted somewhat superficial sneekpeak was that melodies, hooks and some arrangements echo the former installments in the trilogy yet somehow retain a freshness about them. Oh and I really missed those simple and highly melodic synth lines you sprinkle your albums in. Some times less is indeed more. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Hey friends, the official release date for my new album, Infernal, has been moved up and it's now available for stream and purchase on this planet. I've been so lucky by the warm welcome I've been given upon my return to the land of the living. I can imagine how people were frustrated by the wolf crying of "coming soon" - and probably no one as annoyed as myself when impediment after impediment was put in my way. To be fair, many of those impediments turned out the be blessings, because it gave me more time to reflect and react to the recording and to let the "statue" tell me which bits of marble to cut away. And so, while I have wished I could work on the album, and wished my engineer was available to me, and wished I hadn't gotten absorbed in my day job, I have finally gotten the project completed. Thanks for support and here's hoping folks will take a listen. There's a free playlist of the album at soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/phideaux/sets/infernal So take a listen and let me know what you think. cheers,
Phideaux |

Found some older info regarding the other releases which were hinted before: Also, because Doomsday Afternoon has been out of print for about a year, we are making an upgraded new version to release simultaneously with Infernal. In fact, Doomsday Afternoon and a remixed "re-envisioned" version of The Great Leap will be out on vinyl as a result. Because both those albums are 60ish minutes, they are 3 sided LPs and therefore will be released together as a 3 LP version (sharing side 3's). Only The Great Leap will have some bonus track material (to round out a slightly short "side 3". ... so since we now have you here... how's that going? thx ------------- I'm a quitter.

thanks for the info re. error messages. Glad it's not just me. As for physical copies in Canada, we are having trouble with Amazon, but they are available thru Terra Incognita. As for upgraded Leap/Doom, I was just in a horrible session today, trying to integrate mixes from Pro Tools 9 into Pro Tools 11, with plug ins that are no longer compatible. So, it's going to be a few weeks before we can get the long hoped for rehabilitations of Doomsday Afternoon and The Great Leap up and running. I'm excited to hear Doomsday in it's best audio resolution - we won't be remixing that one, just upgrading the sonic soundscape, whereas The Great Leap might sound quite different. cheers and thanks for the info and interest.
