Guitarist and composer Matt Stevens (solo, The Fierce and the Dead) is set to release his new solo album on March 31st via Esoteric Recordings. The album features contributions from the likes of Jem Godfrey (Frost*), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson), Lorenzo Filiciati (Naked Truth) and Charlie Cawood (Knifeworld).
Commented Stevens: “[Lucid is] an album that reflects a love of Jesu and Celtic Frost as much as it does a passion for Mahavishnu Orchestra and King Crimson.“
