Neo-Prophet - Monsters (2009)

Neo-Prophet biography
NEO-PROPHET is a Neo-Prog band hailing from Southwest Belgium. Formed in 2005 by bassist/vocalist Hans Six, keyboardist Sjoerd Bruyneel, drummer Rudi Lins and guitarist Frank Debruyne. All four had been in previous bands and all had explored a wide variety of genres. Sjoerd and Hans had played together in the band Marsta Blasta, but when the two left that band, Sjoerd wanted to move in a heavy progressive/neo progressive direction and convinced Hans to join him in this endeavor.

Taking inspiration from bands such as PINK FLOYD, MARILLION, RUSH and GENESIS, the band recorded and released its first recording, a four-song EP titled "The Feeblemindedness of the Inept and the Ignorant" in 2006. Following on from this, NEO-PROPHET began recording their first full-length CD "Monsters" in 2006 and 2007. However, before releasing the CD, the band wanted to rerecord the CD with more professional production. The CD finally saw release in February of 2009. Following the release, drummer Rudi Lins left the band due to musical differences and was replaced by Wes Jacques.

On September 4, 2009, the band played its first concert in support of "Monsters" and the first live gig to feature the new drummer. They plan to perform at Symforce III and make other appearances all over Europe in support of their CD.
