LOL. Do I need to clear any copyright to make that into a t-shirt?

**AncientChord** · 05-04-2013

Are there any plans for any more live shows this year? After recently seeing a fantastic gig by Steve Hackett, and now anticipating an equally stellar show by Steven Wilson next week here in L.A., the only way to satisfy my unquenchable thirst even more for great live prog this year would be a Phideaux show.

**Phid3aux** · 05-05-2013

Our only gig this year is to be in Quebec, although we might try to plan something for the release of Infernal.

And I wouldn't worry about us releasing too many things simultaneously this year, as it's hard enough to release one thing. That was just a list of stuff that's in the pipeline...

**AncientChord** · 05-05-2013

Our only gig this year is to be in Quebec, although we might try to plan something for the release of Infernal.

I hope an Infernal release gig in L.A. happens. I'm just really into seeing the band live, and hope that's sooner than later. Regardless I support you and look forward to the new albums, studio and live.

Oh nice! That Orion show rocked! So glad I was there. Can't wait to hear it again!

And we're queued up for the Terra Incognita show tomorrow. YAY!

**emperorken** · 05-19-2014

Has this project been shelved completely? Seems like it's been forever and there is absolutely no news about it anywhere.

**zombywoof** · 05-19-2014

The last I heard, PX hopes to get it out before his next gig.

**Digital_Man** · 05-19-2014

It seems like it might have been bootlegged since there are five ratings of it on progarchives despite no official release yet. So far I've heard "snowtorch" and the one before it(can't remember it's name)and really like both of them. Great band!

**zombywoof** · 05-19-2014

Phideaux was the band that opened the door to modern music. Before that, I was listening to Genesis and saying things like "New music sucks!". Thanks for opening my mind, Phideaux!

**gimmetrons** · 05-20-2014

Infernal is Autoanticipate and Autobuy for me.

**AncientChord** · 05-21-2014

I hope PX isn't following in the footsteps of Anglagard and Citizen Cain, with many years between releases. But I am also confident that like the previously mentioned, when Infernal does arrive, it with be a top notch high quality album of pure prog bliss. Hope the wait is over soon. Oh Phideaux, where are you? Can you chime in?

/bump up

Any news on this release?

**moecurlythanu** · 07-18-2014

Well, Number 7 1/2 seems to have been permanently shelved, let's hope Infernal doesn't meet the same fate.

**Yves** · 07-18-2014

Mr Xavier has been conspicuous by his absence from these parts. Maybe he's busy at work chruning out this latest epic.

I would be remiss if I didn't post in a Phideaux thread to proclaim my preference for his earlier works like The Great Leap and Ghost Story...

**AncientChord** · 07-18-2014

One of the members of Xavier's band, keyboardist Johnny Unicorn has created a post on the What's Up, What's New page announcing a new solo album of his. When I have the time, I'll PM him and ask about Phideaux. Or someone else might try too. I met him last year, so I think he'll probably reply.

**Yves** · 07-18-2014

Johnny Unicorn is a member here. I saw him posting about a new disc he released. I remember because I chuckled at his name. I was thinking that if that's his real name I feel sorry for him. If he changed his name to that then I feel even sorrier!

His real last name is Narwhale.

I saw this on another website, apparently from Phideaux's Facebook page on Sept 6:

"I have had such an amazing time this week doing the FINAL vocals for my upcoming album, Infernal. Things have changed and morphed so dramatically, it's gratifying. I now truly am on the slope down and we only have a few tiny final bits of guitar to do and then we can mix. Soooon - the end is coming."

Finally!!!!

**AncientChord** · 09-30-2014

Great news! He couldn't be a nicer chap, and his talented band gets better and better with each release. Infernal is long overdue, but I'm certain the wait will be worth it.

**LeFrog** · 03-20-2017

Today is Spring equinox which means it is now 4 years since Phideaux has first announced the imminent release of Infernal. Let's all wish a happy birthday to this thread and hope that 2017 will finally see Infernal reach completion.

I agree wholeheartedly. There are, however, some folks I know who prefer Doomsday Afternoon and Chupacabra.
The think I like most about Snowtorch is the classic Tull vibe I hear, especially on keys.

Jefferson James · 03-21-2017

Please, Phideaux, enough with the silent treatment.

Snowtorch is my favorite Phideaux album; there's some great ELP-ish moments, density and intensity, anchored by cool grooves and sinewy segues. Fascinating lyrics.
