THE ARTIST

The British rock band Marillion, known for their innovative soundscapes and profound lyrics, has significantly shaped the music world since their inception in the early 1980s. With their recent studio album “An Hour Before It’s Dark”, the band’s highest charting album across the globe (#2 in the UK and Germany, #6 Switzerland), Marillion have shown that they continue to stay as brilliant and vital as ever whilst consistently dodging categorization by crafting distinct, evocative music.

THE PRODUCT

After the sold-out 2024 Deluxe Edition release of “This Strange Engine”, earMUSIC proudly presents the next chapter in the band’s reissue series, celebrating one of their most distinctive and forward-thinking releases. Originally launched as an independent statement of artistic freedom, “marillion.com” captures the band at a moment of bold reinvention, embracing expansive songwriting, atmospheric depth, and an openness to global musical influences. The album moves effortlessly between cinematic arrangements, emotional storytelling, and moments of intimate reflection, offering a richly textured listening experience that continues to resonate with fans old and new.

-To be released as deluxe 3CD+Blu-ray media book and 5LP box-set editions, both sets include a version of the original studio album newly mixed and mastered, a previously unreleased complete recording of the band's 1999 performance recorded in London at the Shepherds Bush Empire, and also accompanied by illustrated booklets containing rare photos, new artwork, memorabilia and an essay that’s digging deep into the album’s story. The bonus Blu-ray, which is included in the media book, contains the album in hi-res and surround sound, demos & early versions of the album tracks, a “Marillion.com” documentary and the “Shot In The Dark (Zodiac)” concert video. A must have collectible item for all progressive rock fans.
