This is a 'novel' band (pardon the pun). Roswell Six is a band name for a project of bestselling author, Kevin J. Anderson. THe thing is, Anderson does not perform on the album nor has he written the music. What he has done is create a crossover project by developing and expanding a storyline from his novel Terra Incognita and supplying the lyrics (along with his wife and best selling author, Rebecca Moestra). The music for the project comes from Erik Norlander, best known for his work with Rocket Scientists. Last year bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson and ProgRock Records introduced Terra Incognita: An innovative crossover project of fantasy on a grand scale— an epic novel and companion progressive-rock CD. Acclaimed author Anderson developed the universe and story of “Terra Incognita,” a tale of sailing ships, sea monsters, and the crusades. The first novel in the series, THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, was released in June 2010 in tandem with a new CD by the supergroup Roswell Six, with lyrics written by Anderson and his wife, bestselling author Rebecca Moesta, and music/producing by Erik Norlander (Rocket Scientists, etc.) Several reviewers and music sites listed “Terra Incognita: Beyond the Horizon” among the best prog CDs of the year. Following up the success of the first effort, Anderson and ProgRock Records announce the second Terra Incognita CD, “A Line in the Sand” to coincide with the publication of the second novel, THE MAP OF ALL THINGS. “This CD features a different, grittier part of the story, focusing on the devastating generations-long war between continents, and it has an entirely different sound,” said Anderson. This time, the music is helmed by Henning Pauly (Frameshift, Chain, Shadows Mignon) and features some artists returning from the first CD as well as new performers. “Henning is absolutely perfect for this type of music, with hard-driving guitars, passion, and thought-provoking complexity,” said Shawn Gordon of PRR. “Kevin’s been a fan of Henning’s music for years, and this seemed to be a perfect match.” “Terra Incognita: A Line in the Sand” Vocals are by rock legends Steve Walsh (Kansas), Michael Sadler (ex-Saga), Sass Jordan (Album Rock's Female Vocalist of the Year), Alexander Froese (Frameshift) and Nick Storr (The Third Ending) and guest appearances by Charlie Dominici (solo, original Dream Theater vocalist), Juan Roos (Shadow’s Mignon) and Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon and many others). Anderson and Moesta penned the lyrics/story again and even cowrote two songs with multi-Grammy winner Janis Ian (“Society’s Child,” “At Seventeen,” etc.). Due to commitments to their own bands/projects, Erik Norlander and some of the original performers were unable to participate in the second CD. “With two CDs and two novels, this takes Terra Incognita into unprecedented territory,” said Anderson. “Progressive rock has always focused on story and ideas. The union of music and prose has never before been done on this scale.” Both “A Line in the Sand” (ProgRock Records) and THE MAP OF ALL THINGS (Orbit Books) will be released in June 2010.
