Two titans of progressive music, Steve Hackett (GЕNESIS) and Steve Rothery (MARILLION), come together on ‘The Roaring Waves’ – a striking and deeply atmospheric instrumental album shaped by memory, imagination, and the elemental power of the sea.
The record has been much talked about over the years, and it will now finally see the day on August 28th, 2026 via InsideOutMusic.
Now the duo are pleased to present the video for new single ‘Red Dragon’, created by Simon Ward – watch below.
Years in the making, The Roaring Waves brings together seven instrumental compositions that move fluidly between the cinematic and the intimate, as Hackett explains, “It’s not the kind of album that guitarists normally make together.”
Written and recorded intermittently over nearly a decade – with sessions at Racket Club and the duo’s home studios – the album emerged from an organic, improvisational process. Jams and shared ideas form the backbone of the music, allowing both players to explore a collaborative dynamic defined by sensitivity and mutual respect.
