The intriguingly titled new album from prog-metal musos Protest The Hero will be available June 19 2020. Pre-orders for ‘Palimpsest’ are now being taken, and there are a few bundle choices. Palimpsest for those who don’t google refers to the reuse of a medium, its a medieval thing, but for PTH, does it mean renew, recycle, recreate, refer, - or maybe after the scraping singer Rody Walker’s voice took two years ago the title is a nod to those issues and his return to form. it will be a lot of digging in on the new album to get the messaging. Here is the new single, “The Canary” - Amelia Earhart’s yellow bird may be the thing here. Lot of flight references in Protest’s catalogue, must dig into that too. And dig into Walker’s soaring vox performance, his voice takes flight - oh damn how did that slip in there!
