Background information about 'Metamorpheus (Re-Issue 2024)'

Steve Hackett's 'Metamorpheus' is a profound exploration of the legendary tale of Orpheus, offering a musical journey through the mythological underworld. Originally released in 2005, this album showcases Hackett's classical guitar prowess alongside a rich orchestral backdrop provided by The Underworld Orchestra. The collaboration includes his brother John Hackett on flute and Dick Driver on double bass, creating a sublime fusion of classical and progressive rock elements.

In 'Metamorpheus', Hackett paints vivid musical landscapes that evoke the ethereal and haunting beauty of Orpheus' descent into Hades. The compositions are intricate and emotive, each piece unfolding like chapters in an epic narrative. The newly remastered edition brings renewed clarity to the lush arrangements, making it a must-have for both long-time fans and newcomers to Hackett's work.
