I thought people around here might be interested in this band. If I were to make a serious independant or studio horror film Steven Wilson is the guy I'd get to do the soundtrack. In Absentia is very haunting and now I'm totally siked about the next album. Not just because Porcupine Tree is the best band in rock next to Pink FLoyd but becasue Steven Wilson, who is PT, wrote a horror script and most of the lyrics for the next album are based on it. Someone needs to turn that f'ing script into a movie cause Wilson is a genious.
Porcupine Tree are now in the studio working on their next full length album, their second for Lava Records and Warner Music worldwide.
The as-yet untitled album will have everything from long pieces such as the 10 minute plus "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here," to shorter songs such as "Shallow" that will hopefully continue the postive foundation that "Blackest Eyes" created for the band at radio. As with previous PT albums, there will be a diversity of styles and dynamics but overall the direction is more rock than metal this time. Sessions are scheduled to finish by early June, with a worldwide release date planned for September (not the staggered release that In Absentia received). A major tour will follow.
Steven wrote much of material on his own as usual, but for the first time several songs were also written during collective band writing sessions. Most of the songs are lyrically based on a movie script that SW wrote with Mike Bennion that has been described as a "surreal ghost story."
