To tie with the eagerly anticipated release of the sci-fi novel tied to the bands recent studio album, Rush are set to release a further single, “The Wreckers” in October 2012.
The sonic journey of Rush’s newest concept album is now a full-length, steampunk adventure - a unique collaboration between legendary prog rock icon, Neil Peart, and internationally bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson.
CLOCKWORK ANGELS is a project like no other. Working closely with lyricist Neil Peart, prolific bestselling sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson has adapted the epic adventure told in Rush’s latest concept album into an immense sci-fi novel. The journey centres on a young man’s quest to follow his dreams. He cries out both in the novel and in the album’s first single, Caravan: “I can’t stop thinking big in a world where I feel so small.” He is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos, travelling through a lavish and colourful world of steampunk and alchemy, with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals and a rigid watchmaker who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life.
Released in conjunction with the album of the same name, CLOCKWORK ANGELS: THE NOVEL is the perfect compendium to Rush’s newest progressive rock masterpiece.
