Beware Of DarknessSpock’s Beard

Spock’s Beard

Spock’s Beard is a progressive rock band immersed the seventies' spirit, full of contracted climates, breaks and complex compositions based on tortuous, audacious and elaborated instrumental developments. They combine strong melodies with intricate arrangements and exceptional musicianship. As such Spock’s Beard should appeal to fans of bands like The Flower Kings and U.K.

Formed by Neal Morse, who wrote most of the band’s material and contributed lead vocals, piano, synth, and guitars, the adventurous band has built a solid and loyal fan base starting with their first two releases. “The Light” received rave reviews across the globe, and “Beware of Darkness” was considered by many the best progressive rock album of the decade. The next releases, including “The Kindness of Strangers”, “Day For Night” and “V”, were issued and appealed to insatiable fans worldwide. One of their most memorable albums, “Snow”, was released as a double CD concept album in the vein of Genesis' “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”.

With Neal Morse’s departure in 2002, drummer Nick D'Virgilio assumed the vocalist role with new album “Feel Euphoria”, that marked a fresh new beginning while fueling a unique creative period in the band’s career. The album was followed up by “Octane” in 2005 and the band self-titled release in 2006. Spock’s Beard ended the decade with another discography highlight with the release of “X” in 2010. Drummer Jimmy Keegan provided some additional vocals on the release and later followed the band on the promotional tour for the new material. The release of “X” marked yet another turning point for the band seeing that vocalist Nick D'Virgilio decided, among other things, to concentrate on his solo career and thus left the band in 2011.
