Since releasing it's widely acclaimed debut CD manifest deNsity (MJU 28) in 2009, Seattle's Moraine has quickly built a reputation as one of the most electrifying and original instrumental rock bands anywhere, winning over listeners across the globe with it's unique amalgam of art rock, forward-thinking jazz, world music, and a host of other musical ingredients. The band ups the ante with it's highly anticipated new release Metamorphic Rock: Live at NEARfest, a blazing concert performance engineered for maximum sonic impact by legendary Pacific Northwest producer Steve Fisk. Metamorphic Rock captures Moraine in peak form at NEARfest 2010, the world's preeminent showcase for progressive rock, where the band wowed listeners with it's inventive compositions, formidable musicianship, and tightly meshed instrumental interplay. The first Moraine release to feature woodwind virtuoso James DeJoie and powerhouse drummer Stephen Cavit, Metamorphic Rock marks a major advance in the group's evolution from it's chamber-rock origins toward a more forceful and dynamic sound. The album consists largely of new and previously unreleased material, including striking arrangements of ancient and contemporary Asian music, augmented by a number of radically retooled tunes from manifest deNsity.
