The Mute Gods
The Mute Gods简介英国前卫摇滚超级团 The Mute Gods,乐队成员有Nick Beggs, Marco Minnemann 和 Roger KingBiographyThe Mute Gods were conceived by Nick Beggs as an outlet for his writing during a period of extensive touring with Steve Hackett and Steven Wilson. The material was written and recorded in countless hotel rooms/back stage areas and dressing rooms around the world between 2013 and 2015.On joining the Steve Hackett band in 2009, Nick and Roger King developed a synergy that was to develop further when The Mute Gods record was first discussed. “Roger’s strengths are my weaknesses” volunteers Beggs. “He has the ability to cast a steely eye of of clarity over material and bring out the best in a song.”Nick was subsequently introduced to Marco Minnemann when they first toured together in the Steven Wilson band during 2012. It was then they discussed the possibilities of working on a project together. “Marco is not only an amazing drummer, he is also a great guitarist, that’s why I gave him a free reign to play what ever he wanted on this record.”“It was a tremendously joyful process recording for The Mute Gods album. And I sincerely want to thank Nick and Roger for letting me express myself so freely with all musical ideas I wanted to bring into the ‘Mute God’ universe. Much love… and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I had the pleasure recording for it.” – Marco MinnemannAdditional guest appearances on the record are as follows: Lula Beggs, Frank Van Bogaert, Nick Dvirgilio, Adam Holtzman, Gary O’Toole, Rob Reed and Ricky Wilde.
