THE PALIMPSEST – Primary (2022)

With its roots planted firmly in the fertile grounds of the neo-prog movement of the 80’s, ”Primary” is the first release by THE PALIMPSEST, the brainchild of veteran UK singer and performer Glamdave. Since joining his first band ‘ROGUE’ in the early 80s, his career has spanned over 30 years and encompassed many genres, most notably an 11 year stint as lead singer for glam rock tribute show ‘The Glam Band’. He was also the man behind power prog trio ‘ARKHAM’, current rockers ON THE LEVEL, and held the bass seat in ‘THE TONY EDWARDS BAND’, among others.
Glamdave grew up on bands like AC/DC, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and much of the NWOBHM scene, but soon became drawn to the so called Neo Prog movement, listening to bands such as Marillion, IQ, Twelfth Night and the like which, in turn, led him to go back and search out their influences, discovering Rush, Queen, Styx and so on in the process.
You can hear all these influences on ”Primary”, but also the music on ”Primary” is strongly impregnated in the polished melodic rock / lite prog sound of all times.
