Prog Supergroup Amaran's Plight Set Release

08/03/07
.
(PR) ProgRock Records, formidable US progressive rock label, is pleased to announce the release of the exciting debut CD by Amaran's Plight. The band's premier CD release has been greatly anticipated throughout the 'prog world' and immediate reaction has been fervid! Amaran's Plight can only be described as a new 'Supergroup' and features the talents of: DC Cooper (Ex-Royal Hunt, Silent Force) - Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery) - Nick D'Virgilio (Spock's Beard, Kevin Gilbert, Tears for Fears, Genesis) - Kurt Barabas (Under the Sun)

The band's debut album Voice in the Light upon release by Progrock Records and its label partners has been receiving rave reviews from fans and music critics worldwide. Voice in the Light was recorded in 2006 at Gary Wehrkamp's New Horizon Studios and described as textbook Symphonic Progressive Metal. It combines the soaring vocals of DC Cooper with the master riffs and melodies of Gary Wehrkamp, backed by the sonic, dynamic and explosive rhythm section of D'Virgilio and Barabas.

Gary Wehrkamp and DC Cooper are no strangers to working together. Gary is the keyboardist, guitarist and producer of veteran progressive rock ensemble, Shadow Gallery. DC Cooper appeared on their 1999 conceptual piece Tyranny as a guest vocalist on the epic track "New World Order". Fans of Shadow Gallery have longed for a Wehrkamp/Cooper collaboration ever since. DC Cooper is the voice behind the power prog-metal band, Silent Force. Before joining forces with guitarist Alex Boyrodt to form Silent Force, he was vocalist for veteran proggers, Royal Hunt. Nick D'Virgilio is one of the highest rated drummers in progressive rock today. Besides being the driving force behind Spock's Beard, he has also played with Mike Kennealy, Kevin Gilbert, Tears For Fears and Genesis. Nick takes drumming to the next level on Voice in the Light with an over the top performance that adds emotion, heart and a sonic punch that makes the band's debut album a must hear. Kurt Barbaras is one of the founding members of Los Angeles based Under The Sun, who also have a live CD released on ProgRock Records entitled Schematism - Onstage With Under The Sun. Along with Shadow Gallery, Under The Sun was part of the progressive rock revival spearheaded by Magna Carta records in the early 90's. Kurt's bass playing is often singled out as the driving force of Under The Sun.

Amaran's Plight Voice in the Light is an excursion into the heart of progressive rock music. The band's adept individual performing skills and composing talents takes
