Description

Neal Morse & The Resonance return with River of Light, their powerful second studio album and the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2024’s acclaimed No Hill For A Climber.

River of Light is a compelling concept album that explores themes of faith, perseverance, loss, and redemption through some of the most ambitious music of Neal Morse’s career.

Building on the chemistry that made their debut such a success, Neal Morse and his bandmates expanded the songwriting process, creating an album that blends classic progressive rock influences with fresh ideas from a new generation of musicians. The result is a dynamic collection of songs that combines soaring melodies, intricate arrangements, powerful musicianship, and memorable rock hooks. Standout tracks include the uplifting singles “Walk on Water” and “Shine Until Tomorrow,” alongside expansive prog epics showcasing the band’s virtuosity.

Featuring exceptional performances from guitarist Andre Madatian, vocalist Jonny Bisaha, drummer Philip Martin, and Morse himself, who takes on a prominent bass role throughout the album, River of Light captures a band pushing its creative boundaries while remaining true to the spirit of classic progressive rock.

Available as a Limited 2CD Digipak (incl. a second disc of instrumentals), Standard CD Jewel Case, and Gatefold 2LP.
