 | | Description: | This Winter Machine sign to White Knight Records and will release their 4th album The Clockwork Man on October 6th 2023.
White Knight co-founder Will Mackie-
"We've been watching the growth of the band musically and after discussions with Al, we thought they would fit in with the musical style of the label; we just love well written melodic PROG.
The Clockwork Man is a concept album in the traditional sense. It covers issues such as personal identity, bigotry and freedom of choice wrapped up in a story about cloning and identity?.
Al Winter ??
??I'm really positive about this line up. The sound is now more focused and the new guys brought their own influences to the writing. The guitarist John wrote the majority of the main riffs and lines, which allowed me to properly focus on the melody. I'd always wanted to write a full concept album and the current line up gave me the opportunity. They have technical ability and taste which is important in equal measure. It enabled me to tell the story I wanted to tell with light and shade and no compromise in quality or depth.
The concept arose from a concern I have that our nature means that even if we achieve parity in many ways in society we will look for other places to put our disdain. This can manifest in ways from outright bigotry to a prevention of human rights, or laws that restrict some but not others. I question if a truly level playing field will happen. In the album??s story the protagonist finds out that things promised aren't always what are delivered.?
The album is the first to feature new members Leigh Perkins on keys and backing vocals and John Cook on guitar. Returning are Dave Close on bass, Alan Wilson on drums and Al Winter on vocals.
