NEAL MORSE pubblicherà il prossimo 11 settembre il nuovo album
“Sola Gratia”, un concept album basato sulla figura dell’apostolo Paolo. Il titolo “Sola Gratia” ricorda ovviamente “Sola Scriptura”, disco pubblicato da Neal Morse nel 2007 ispirato alla vita di Martin Lutero. Le musiche sono state registrate nel mese di aprile in pieno lockdown. Ancora una volta Neal è stato accompagnato dai collaboratori di lunga data
Mike Portnoy,
Randy George,
Eric Gillette,
Bill Hubauer e
Gideon Klein.
Viene presentato il primo singolo estratto con il video di “In The Name Of The Lord”: https://youtu.be/ZsYgGN_HQ-A

Neal comments: “As I was gathering a bunch of random ideas in February for this album, when I got home and started to put it together, the riff that starts this song was the very first thing I recorded. I couldn’t play the riff and sing at the same time so I wrote it separately. The chorus came from some ideas I had while early morning walking in Sydney, Australia.
Sola Gratia is the only album Mike, Randy and I made remotely and I think they absolutely killed it!
Lyrically, I am fascinated by the conversion of Saul of Tarsus to Paul the Apostle. The fact the he starts off persecuting christians and then becomes the guy who writes most of the New Testament is a rich story..there’s so much to it…it may become a series!”
