Consider the Source has been hard at work, creating a massive three-part album that is sure to be as exploratory as the Sci-Fi/Middle Eastern Fusion band has been in their tenure together. The album, a three-disc sonic journey entitled World War Trio, will be the groups first release in four years and was successfully funded by a strong Indiegogo campaign. The trio is strategically planning on staggering the release though with disc one being released on Halloween this year and discs two and three arriving in the Fall of 2015. The first track, “Put Another Rock in That Bag (Single Edit)” is out now.
The first release will coincide with a stop in Albany, NY at the Parish Public House where they will play it in its entirety before heading to Buffalo the following night. The EP will contain a six-movement, 25-minute prog-rock epic, titled “Put Another Rock in that Bag”. For longtime fans, the EP will be a different flavor from a band that has been known to touch on various genres. This release focuses on their progressive rock side, featuring a section written by Jan Zehrfeldt of Panzerballet, while still intertwining that virtuosic fusion fans have come to love.
Today, the band released the single, “Put Another Rock in that Bag, pt. 1”, which displays a preview of the six-part beast that is looming in just two short weeks. After listening myself, I can say that Consider the Source has taken a CONSIDERable step forward in terms of composition, talent, and overall cohesiveness.
