REDEMPTION To Headline Holland's HEADWAY Festival

January 18, 2007

REDEMPTION, the Los Angeles-based progressive metal band led by guitarist/keyboardist/songwriter Nicolas van Dyk and featuring vocal legend Ray Alder of FATES WARNING, has been confirmed as the headliner of the Headway progressive rock and metal festival, which will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2007. The festival will be held over two days — April 7 and April 8 — at P60 in Amstelveen, the Netherlands. The festival billing is shaping up as follows (in alphabetical order):

DIAL (NL)
INTO ETERNITY (CAN)
LAST CRACK (USA)
LOCH VOSTOK (SWE)
MÖRGLBL (F)
REDEMPTION (USA)

REDEMPTION recently revealed the artwork and track listing for its third CD, "The Origins of Ruin", tentatively due in March/April via Inside Out Music.

Injecting traditional progressive metal with an uncommon degree of heaviness and melody, REDEMPTION's new CD follows up 2005's breakthrough release "The Fullness of Time", the band's first with Alder, which generated tremendous critical and popular acclaim. With Bernie Versailles (guitars, AGENT STEEL),Chris Quirarte (drums, PRYMARY) and new bass player Sean Andrews (who performed on Henning Pauly's CHAIN project),REDEMPTION is one of the most prominent up-and-coming progressive metal bands.
