Bass player and composer Bryan Beller will release his long-awaited progressive concept double album Scenes From The Flood on September 13. An impressive roster of musicians helped him out to create an old school sprawling record that is both complex and compelling. Beller constructed the 18 songs over an 11-year period. As an in-demand musician (The Aristocrats, Joe Satriani, Dethklok, Steve Vai) he had to scramble for time to get some work done on this project. He has made a video for The Storm.
Musicians (in alphabetical order): Christopher Allis, Bryan Beller, Nili Brosh, Paul Cartwright, Darran Charles, Julian Coryell, Mike Dawes, Janet Feder, Guthrie Govan, Ray Hearne, Gene Hoglan, Mike Keneally, Jamie Kime, Fred Kron, Teddy Kumpel, Jake Howsam Lowe, Evan Mazunik, Nate Morton, Rick Musallam, Mike Olekshy, Griff Peters, John Petrucci, Matt Rohde, Joe Satriani, Rishabh Seen, Joe Travers, Leah Zeger.
Scenes From The Flood is available for pre-order from his website (2LP, 2CD and digital).
