It´s the first time Scott will come to Europe with The Road Home, the band he recorded his album „The Forgiven Ghost In Me“ with.
For their tour they recorded a new 7-Inch.
Side A: Eternal Midnight
"Eternal Midnight came to me clear and clean. I was gifted the title from Anthony Michael Couri a few years ago in a backstage existentialism about the virtue and glory of Neil Young.", says Scott
Side B: Catholic Blood
"Catholic Blood is a stream of thought riff and word sequence that I have always felt expressed the emotion beyond them more clearly then the words or riff themselves. I have wanted to bring it back around with these guys, here it is.", Scott about Catholic Blood
Noah (Neurosis), who is a member of The Road Home, says about the upcoming tour:
"I've been creating music with Scott for more than 20 years, as Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot, Blood and Time and now The Road Home. When we set out to record the new album, The Forgiven Ghost in Me, the river of ideas that the songs presented was deep and strong. We developed the songs in a way that is both clear and crafted, adding ornamentation and dynamics but never at the cost of the emotional core. Performing them with him and Greg Dale has been personally very moving and gratifying. I'm looking forward to traveling across Europe, far and wide, and presenting this music. This is music that has grown straight from the root of Scott Kelly's heart."
Scott´s statement:
"I have been building toward this tour from the first time I set foot onstage as a solo artist, I have been wanting to bring the songs to this stage of developement and present them to people in the live setting. The Road Home is wholly different experience then seeing me preform these songs as a solo artist, the flesh in them is alive, the heart beats in unison, as we are truly 3 men of similar pain and understanding."
