The new album so far.. Hi Guys,I received many requests for a update about the upcoming Sylvium album, so here we go: At this moment we are in the middle of the process, thing are going really fine. The songs are written and some parts are already recorded, the album is still scheduled for release later this year. The upcoming weeks we will spent some time in the rehearsel room to optimize the groove and concentrate on the drum tracks. This is also a great opportunity for us to try out the live setting. ( yes.. to perform live :) ) I'm really proud of the new tracks so far, they contain some beautiful soundscapes combined with real heavy stuff. The contribution of Gijs, Greg and Jr is amazing, working with these great musicians is a real pleasure and a big step forward to a even more progressive Sylvium sound. Can't say much more at this moment but I promise to let you know when there's any news. Thank you all for your support, love to hear from you ! Grtz Ben |

Dutch Exposure Album with new Sylvium track "True Images" The new album "Dutch Exposure" contains a exclusive new Sylvium track titled True Images. The album is available at www.Freia-Music.comFrom the Freia Music website : Dutch Exposure Album "An introduction to 8 of the best new Dutch progressive bands. The quickest and best way to get to know the current Dutch progressive scene was to start a progressive band competition/battle. With the cooperation of Dutch magazine iO Pages, webzine ProgWereld and promoter Progmotion in total 32 bands entered the competition. 8 bands were selected to record 9m45s of music to deliver a full 70 minute album of Dutch progressive rock. And we have a variety of bands: Gallico (vintage symfo), Profuna Ocean (contemporary prog), Armed Cloud (male fronted gothic metal), Sylvium (ambient prog), Trip Trigger (alternative progmetal), Thirteen (female front prog), Incidense (progressive metal) and Summer Breeze Project (neo-progressive rock). Dutch Exposure comes as a combi pack containing a double album on HQ 180g vinyl plus CD. |

Review Purified at Background Magazine Nice review of the Purified Album at Background Magazine."I think this is one of the better Dutch EP prog rock releases of 2012. It's just a pity that it's all over after 21 minutes, but then again: more can also be less. Well done!" Read more.. |

Liveprog video review of the Purified Album Marcel Haster from www.LiveProg.com made a great video review of the Purified Album."The Dutch band Sylvium is a truly independent band. Formed by Ben van Gastel and Fred Boks, they bring a remarkable EP called Purified. This fully instrumental mini album brings some very beatiful music and just shows what these guys can do. They are working on a full length album, so this is a great appetizer for more of their music." You can see the video here |

Review at Maxazine.nl (Dutch) Purified is in mijn ogen een hele strakke schijf die zeer de moeite waard is. Ook als je geen progfan bent, kun je genieten van de kunsten van deze twee heren. Ik ben er zeker blij mij dat Purified bij mij op de deurmat viel... Mijn oordeel is dan ook gewoon top! (9/10)(Eigen beheer) Read more.. |
