Enochian Theory & Threshold UK Tour Starts This week
Enochian Theory had started composing their 3rd release when they returned from touring in late 2010, and in August 2011 the band entered “Aubitt Studios” (UK) for the full production of the new album with producer Rob Aubrey. Enochian Theory worked with Rob on the Spock’s Beard European Tour and his previous history with artists such as “IQ”, “Tony Levin” and “Transatlantic” only helped with the decision for the band to work with him on their important 2nd Album.
The albums art direction was once again handled by the amazing artist “Robin Portnoff”, taking the “World” they had created together to the next level, exploring it further within the new albums artwork and also with the bands special on going animated visual project “The Fire Around The Lotus”.
The Original Storyboard and Concept was first conceived in 2008 by Robin in connection with the bands album artwork for “Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio”. But because such a high budget production level was needed to fully convey the idea in visual form, plans for the film were shelved until the band found a suitable and willing team for the task in 2010. The “Short Film” style music video has been in production for nearly 2 years behind the scenes, with a lot of dedication by the incredible team consisting of Matthew Howard, Adam Wozinak and Jack Fairclough.
The new album “Life… And All It Entails” was released on March 12th 2012 and once again gained high appreciation within the European Press. Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) praised the new album, commenting on the production and craftsmanship of the song writing.
Enochian Theory shot a music video for the track “Inversions” with the UK production company “One Name Films”. This video would feature “The Lost Orchestra” visually for the first time and was released for internet viewing in May 2012.
The band performed tracks from the new album in July 2012 at “The Night Of The Prog Festival”. Held in Germany, Enochian Theory were asked to perform by the festival organisers alongside Katatonia, The Flower Kings, Spock’s Beard, Steve Hackett and other respected acts.
In September Enochian Theory embarked on three special headline shows, one being the bands 1st headline performance in Germany. During these shows the band performed both albums in their entirety and in October 2012 Enochian Theory supported “Tesseract” for two UK shows.
Since the release of “Life…And All It Entails” the album has been in the Amazon Germany Bestselling Charts and has been voted by iTunes as one of the best Rock/Metal album of the year. Now in 2013 they are set to hit Europe supporting the one and only Threshold.
