VERMILLION SKYE - "Security Theater"
This is the fifth album from Canada's Vermillion Skye and features for the first time: lead vocals from Jeff Johnston, long-time Keyboardist and Composer for the band. Tracks on the album are loosely knitted around a theme of security and insecurity with the title track: Security Theater actually imagining a theater one can go to to feel safe. Influences abound on this album, including the first track: Stone Cold Love which features Queen-like guitars and back-up vocals. The song: Biding My Time is very much influenced by Saga whereas the track: Now And Again features Yes-like backing harmonies. For those who love Classic/Art Rock, this release is both refreshingly new and yet familiar at the same time. Making his Vermillion Skye production debut is Pete Swann of Attitude Productions, Aurora. Pete is no stranger to the band as he performed on the sophomore album: The Dream Sequence. Pete's style is unique and this makes this album distinct as all the past releases - a trend the band is proud of.
