This marks their 16th studio album overall, arriving approximately 1 year and 11 months after their previous release. This major concept album is based on an original allegory chronicling the life of an engraver, marking a groundbreaking release for this multinational band featuring members from England, Scotland, Italy, the USA, Sweden, and Norway. Given the musical depth and storytelling quality of this band, formed in Bournemouth, UK in 1990, it is a truly message-driven work. It is a continuous narrative exploring creativity, sacrifice, and the precarious line between inspiration and madness. Avoiding pop-field tracks, it delivers a rich sound reminiscent of progressive rock's classic path, offering a thoroughly satisfying listening experience. Pay close attention to Nick D'Avirgio's drums and vocals, who is currently active on a grand scale.This masterpiece, with its content surpassing its predecessor, is sure to capture the world's attention.\n\n\n\nComment from Gregory Spouton, one of the band's founders and bassist: 'Woodcut' tells the story of a character we call 'The Artist,' someone wrestling with creativity and life. One day, he succeeds in creating a woodcut that seems beautiful and different. It might be a dream, or it might be real life. Either way, he finds himself drawn into the scene within the woodcut, stepping into another world.\n\n\n\n'Woodcut' features former PFM member Alberto Blavin, who joined as the new lead vocalist in November 2021, taking a leading role as producer, with all seven members contributing brilliantly. \"This time, it's like a new statement from the band. 'Woodcut' is a big step forward for us,\" comments Blavin.He undertook the immense task of editing and streamlining over 400 individually recorded tracks, piecing them together, linking them to the album's storyline, and considering thematic instrumental sections.\n\n\"Having Alberto take over as producer gave me tremendous peace of mind,\" said Spotton, the last original member. \"While this is only his second album with Big Big Train, he's deeply aware of the band's traditions. Plus, he brought his own unique sense of energy to the music.\" (1\/2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Inkwell Black\u003cbr\u003e2.The Artist\u003cbr\u003e3.The Lie of the Land\u003cbr\u003e4.The Sharpest Blade\u003cbr\u003e5.Albion Press\u003cbr\u003e6.Arcadia\u003cbr\u003e7.Second Press\u003cbr\u003e8.Warp and Weft\u003cbr\u003e9.Chimaera\u003cbr\u003e10.Dead Point\u003cbr\u003e11.Light Without Heat\u003cbr\u003e12.Dreams in Black and White\u003cbr\u003e13.Cut and Run\u003cbr\u003e14.Hawthorn White\u003cbr\u003e15.Counting Stars\u003cbr\u003e16.Last Stand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Century Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52376937005345,"sku":"198029779226","price":210.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/198029779226.jpg?v=1771770313","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-no\/products\/198029779226","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
