Rising from the ashes of the band Sorcerer Shadow Gallery released their debut album in 1992, and later would Gary Wehrkamp into the group. Since then they have put together five more progressive metal albums that are among the best available. Four of those albums (and the debut) featured leading vocalist Mike Baker who suffered a heart attack and passed away in October of 2008. Mike's vocals were considered an integral part of the band's sound and his loss was felt deeply within the band and amongst fans. However, the remaining members decided to push on with new vocalist Brian Ashland and in 2009 they released Digital Ghosts. The release saw the band hinting that more could be in the works, that after 17 years as a purely studio project perhaps a few live shows were finally around the corner...

Fast forward to the current day and the current lineup of Brian Ashland, Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp and Joe Nevolo are set to make their live debut on September 5th in their home state of Pennsylvania (Click for more info). After that the band is headed to Europe for a tour that includes a headlining slot in ProgPower Europe. In the 52 minute interview below the band (sans Brian) discusses everything from the early days of the band, to the story behind Tyranny and Room V, and of course Digital Ghosts and the upcoming tour.
