| Wednesday, January 5, 2011 - Amplifier Release Third Album January 31st | Amplifier release their much anticipated third album 'The Octopus' on January 31st 2011, through their own label AmpCorp. A special edition version will also be available, which will be limited to 500 copies only and is a 70 page CD book detailing 'The Octopus'. Each of these will be dedicated in hand by the band.
Size isn't everything. But Amplifier's The Octopus is big in every respect and dimension. Three years in the making, universal in its concept, and spread across two CDs (three discs in vinyl format) it can now be discovered like some Rosetta Stone that will reveal ever more of itself over the weeks, months and years that you live with it.
'The Octopus' is a major work that has stylistic echoes of Led Zeppelin and Rush and a vision that invites comparisons to Pink Floyd's The Wall or Queensrÿche's 'Operation: Mindcrime'
The strengths and the scale of 'The Octopus' is even more remarkable given that it was made without any record company support. It is the product of a truly independent rock band working without boundaries, three musicians fuelled by ambition and self-belief, inspired by a loyal fan-base following online progress reports.
"We have a commitment to excellence. That's what Amplifier is - everything to the best of our abilities."
That commitment to excellence has in the past earned them plaudits from across the UK press spectrum with the NME, Kerrang!, Q, Rocksound and Metal Hammer being just some of those titles moved to shower them with praise. Now Amplifier return. stronger than ever.
