Deadwing? Breakthrough album? Hmmmm It may have charted higher, but "In Absentia" will always be the Breakthrough album IMO. See Picture below from the day Steven and I mastered it.

With subs copies on their way, here's the cover reveal for Prog 165, which is on sale this Friday, November 21 (December 19 for the US).

We tell the story of Porcupine Tree's Deadwing, as the album celebrates its 20th anniversary. And what an intriguing story it is, of a UK band signed to a major US label with the idea of breaking progressive music on a commercial scale. Add in the ghostly script to an unmade movie, stellar musicians and a groundbreaking tour with their mates Opeth… and as for the st*****rs – well, you’ll have to read about that for yourselves...

Elsewhere in this issue, we say a sad farewell to Moody Blues bassist John Lodge, who passed away last month; Peter Hammill unpicks his solo years on Charisma and Virgin Record for us; guitarist Steve Morse brings tales of Dixie Dregs, Kansas, Deep Purple, Flying Colors and more to the table; and Gazpacho, Crown Lands, Atomic Rooster, Cardiacs, Utopia Strong, Cate Le Bon, Barry Palmer and Amorphis all discuss their latest releases.

This issue arrives with our Icons Of Prog calendar, featuring Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, The Nice and more, a Porcupine Tree art print, a Rush eBook and Jacob Holm-Lupo has curated a fantastic White Willow sampler.

The release will be preceded by the single “Backup Plan” feat. of on October 22nd. This track was originally written and recorded for The Obsession, but something about it felt incomplete - until we toured with VOLA and the missing piece of the puzzle revealed itself.
