</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-smaller>Adrian Belew to be main guitarist on new Man on Fire CD "Habitat"
Man on Fire is thrilled to announce that guitar legend Adrian Belew will be the primary guitarist for the band's brand new upcoming concept CD, "Habitat". Adrian brings his signature style to this release, providing a stunning array of searing solos and unique textural soundscapes to the recordings. Adrian's contributions add a whole new layer to the CD, which Man on Fire believes to be their most definitive musical statement to date.
Conceptually "Habitat" details a variety of different lives existing within the confines of a single urban city block. Each of the tracks paints a musical portrait of one or more of the individuals living within this block, allowing for the CD as a whole to reflect many varied emotions and dynamics. In addition to the contributions from Adrian Belew, "Habitat" features the amazing artistry of former Kansas violinist David Ragsdale, who adds an intoxicating combination of gorgeous, melodic atmosphere and fierce technical virtuosity to the tracks on which he performs. The final mixes of "Habitat" are being mastered by veteran mastering engineer Brad Blackwood (Evanescence).
Built around the keyboards, zendrum and vocals of professional studio producer Jeff Hodges, Man on Fire also includes the elastic fretless bass and muscular guitar work of Eric Sands, the dynamic rhythms of drummer/percussionist Rob Sindon, and the vivid word imagery of lyricist Steve Carroll. Collectively they knit together the signature Man on Fire sound, which has been described as unique, modern and adventurous with a refreshing lack of obvious influences.
Man on Fire will be performing at the 2005 edition of the Rites of Spring Festival being held April 29, 30 and May 1, 2005 in Phoenixville, PA (www.rosfest.com). The band will be debuting "Habitat" live in its entirety during this performance. The band's line-up will feature special guest Steve Katsikis from the band Little Atlas on keyboards and vocals, as well as renowned session pro Richard Meeder on fretless bass and vocals, to fully flesh out the band's lush, multi-layered production sound.
"Habitat" is scheduled for a worldwide release on May 17, 2005 on ProgRock Records. Those in attendance at the second annual Rites of Spring Festival will have an opportunity to purchase this CD at the concert, more than 2 weeks prior to its official release.
