   This band's debut album comes out on April 24th, is it too early to add them to Progarchives?
BIO: When Neal Morse (Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Neal Morse Band and other projects) met former Genesis live drummer Chester Thompson at a Steve Hackett gig in 2023, they agreed to get together and jam. Following this session Morse invited guitarist Phil Keaggy (Glass Harp and solo) and session bassist Byron House, both of whom Morse had worked with in the past, to join them. Their subsequent jam sessions resulted in the formation of Cosmic Cathedral. Their debut album Deep Water, was released in April 2025.

	^ Despite the fact that it's almost a dead certainty that this project will be added to PA on one or other of the sub genres that the site uses, a formal evaluation still needs to be carried out to determine which of those subs would be the most suitable (and Symphonic certainly sounds like the most appropriate judging by the one sample that's available at the moment). Consequently we need to wait until the album is actually released and full samples become available before any action can be taken. If you could drop a reminder post into this thread when the album eventually drops on April 24, I'm pretty sure the band would be then evaluated very quickly by the team.

	^ Thanks for the reminder, Alan. Listening links: https://insideoutmusic.bandcamp.com/album/deep-water-24-bit-hd-audio. https://open.spotify.com/album/0s8grv5g5bOAbeviyRj0Rd. https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mjwCRgaFRlqbTqGIvHRDRoA8J0Y1dBQbo. Awesome Prog link: https://awesomeprog.com/releases/77888. One member of the Symphonic Team is away from his laptop for a few days and won't get a chance to listen to the album until April 28, so there may be a short delay in completing the evaluation.
