New Journey Album Due In May
The band reveal artwork and release date
The follow-up to Journey's hugely successful 2009 Revelation album, Eclipse will be released in North America on May 24 through Wal-Mart outlets.
Frontiers Records will release the album in the rest of the world on, or close to, May 24. According to Melodicrock.com, Eclipse features 12 tracks, including one instrumental. The material was written over the past 18 months by the core team of guitarist Neal Schon and keyboard player Jonathan Cain with input from singer Arnel Pineda.
Schon told VH1 that the album, produced by Kevin Shirley and mixed by David Kalmusky, has been finished for a while and that he’s extremely happy with the results.
"It sounds amazing. I’m in love with the record, which I haven't said for a long time," he said. "I really fought for this record to be the way it is. It's a rock record. It's built for the places we’re about to play. We're playing a lot of big shows – South America and Europe – and we're going to be touring the whole world on and off for two years. So with the addition of Arnel, we've become more of an international band which has been really great."
