Surrender of Silence is the powerful new studio album from legendary guitarist Steve Hackett, recorded during lockdown with contributions from musicians and singers around the world. “Lockdown cobwebs are blown away in one fell swoop,” says Hackett, who leads a dynamic lineup featuring Jonas Reingold, Craig Blundell, Nick D’Virgilio, Phil Ehart, Rob Townsend, Nad Sylvan, Amanda Lehmann, and more.
From thunderous rhythms to sweeping orchestral textures, the album bursts with global influences—ranging from the Far East to Africa—woven together by Roger King’s cinematic arrangements, the McBroom sisters’ haunting vocals, and the exotic sounds of the dutar and tar. Surrender of Silence is a bold, boundary-pushing journey of rediscovery and release.
