Progressive rock outfit Bigelf have announced their return to the studio with alongside their new label, InsideOut Music to record a new album due for release later this year.
The man behind InsideOut Music, Thomas Waber, has commented:
“We have been talking to Bigelf for quite some time now and I am really pleased that we finally managed to make this happen! Bigelf are an excellent addition to the InsideOutMusic roster!”
Bigelf have also revealed that legendary ex-Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy will be recording drums on the new album.
Lead vocalist Damon Fox commented on how Mike came to feature on the new album:
“I had been keeping in close touch with Mike Portnoy after his very public and difficult departure from Dream Theater. At this time, my musical future seemed quite bleak and I was very vocal to Mike about not being able to sustain the band any longer on my own. He implored me to carry on and to not let Bigelf slip away, his encouragement and enthusiasm meant the world to me. Recognizing that I needed some new allies, I asked him if he would help fight the good fight and lend his extraordinary drum majesty to the new Bigelf record and he readily agreed.”
Bigelf will be releasing a new album later this year on InsideOut Music. You can keep up-to-date with the bands progress through their official facebook page.
