Redemption announce new album featuring Megadeth alumni 2015-10-08 by Trey STAFF | 12 Comments | U.S. progressive metal band Redemption (featuring guitarist/songwriter Nick Van Dyk and Fates Warning vocalist Ray Alder) will release their new album, The Art of Loss, in early 2016 through Metal Blade Records.
The album will feature guest performances from Chris Poland, Marty Friedman and Chris Broderick (all ex-Megadeth), as well as a duet between Ray Alder and John Bush (Armored Saint, ex-Anthrax).
Redemption recruited several of the finest guitarists in metal to complement Van Dyk's playing. "We're fortunate to have worked with a number of amazing musicians," begins Van Dyk. "To start with, I'm extremely proud to announce that Chris Poland [Megadeth] has lent his immense talent as a special guest on this record, contributing his unique playing on the majority of the songs and elevating our music into extremely interesting territory while calling to mind his work in his previous bands, who need not be named. Additionally, we are fortunate enough to have mind-blowing guest performances from Marty Friedman [Megadeth], Chris Broderick [Megadeth] and Simone Mularoni, all of whom are amazing guitarists who add so much to this record."
In a remarkable and compelling first, the high-octane track "Thirty Silver" features Poland, Friedman and Broderick in the same song — something that will be a special treat for fans of these world-class players.
In addition, Redemption's cover of The Who's classic "Love Reign O'er Me" features a vocal duet between Alder and guest vocalist John Bush. "The combination of Ray's rich melodic voice and John's go-for-broke passion on this track really makes it special," explains Van Dyk. "Daltrey's performance on the original is one of the most iconic vocal performances in the history of rock music and John does it great justice".

| | | Isn't Nick Van Dyk supposed to be dead by now? I'm not being crass... he has a terminal illness that I thought would have killed him by now?
| | | He's pushing through, doing what he can.
| | | This is amazing to hear as a long-time 'Deth fan. I'll definitely give this a listen and check out the band's other stuff as well, never heard of them before.
