Steve Hackett reveals new Wolflight details

Steve Hackett has shared further details of his new solo album, Wolflight.

The album is scheduled for release in Europe on the 30th of March next year, with Hackett revealing the new details in a short video message.

Says the musician: “My new rock album Wolflight is at the ready and lying in wait. It reflects everybody’s struggle for freedom on a journey travelling through both inner and outer space.

“It explores sounds from as far afield as Greece, Azerbaijan, the deep American South, Sahara desert and beyond – from all our yesterdays, evoking the ancient past.”

Other musicians on the album include Roger King, Gary O’Toole, Nick Beggs, Rob Townsend, Amanda Lehmann, Malik Mansurov and Sara Kovaks. Yes bassist Chris Squire makes an appearance on “Love Song To A Vampire”, while Hugo Dagenhardt plays drums on “Dust And Dreams”.

The full tracklist for Wolflight is as follows:

01. “Out Of The Body”

05. “Corycian Fire”
