British rock band Marillion, founded in 1979, have, over the course of 19 studio albums, become one of the most commercially successful progressive rock bands of the 1980s and are still one of the most outstanding representatives of their genre. As the first of their peers, Marillion have started to embrace the potential of the internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience. Throughout their over 40 year-long career and over 15 million records sold they have become the most outstanding representatives of their genre.

With their extremely successful studio album “F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)”, their second one released by earMUSIC and the band’s highest charting album across the globe since Steve Hogarth joined in 1989, Marillion have shown that they continue to stay as brilliant and vital as ever while consistently dodging categorization by crafting distinct, evocative music.

Whether it's the last hour you were allowed to play outside as a child before you had to go home, a reference to the fight against time in regard to the climate crisis or the last minutes of a person's life - "An Hour Before It's Dark" certainly doesn't lack interpretations.

Be it "Seasons End" on the 1989 album of the same name or the much discussed track "Gaza" on the 2012 album "Sounds That Can't Be Made" - Marillion have never minced their words and don't do so on this album either.

"An Hour Before It's Dark" is not only the title of the album, but also the overarching theme that creates a connection between all the songs on the album.

Recorded in Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, Marillion remain musically true to themselves and continue swimming against the path of adjusting to norms and limitations.

DVD and Blu-ray come with a Hi-Res stereo mix and HD video content including a documentary on the making of the album and a performance of Murder Machines from Real World Studios.
