The Enid Plan To Release Two Albums Next Year

(Classic Rock) The Enid are working on two albums to be released next year, frontman Joe Payne has confirmed. One will be the expected follow-up to acclaimed 2012 record Invicta, their first to be fully led by vocals. The other is an operatic work which will mainly feature Payne alongside Robert John Godfrey.

The veteran composer and arranger has been working to rebuild his band for a future without him, after confirming he's suffering from Alzheimer's disease. As a result Invicta saw more input from the younger additions to the lineup, and that's set to continue with new percussionist Dominic Tofield having recently joined the ranks. Godfrey will remain on board until a replacement is found, but he no longer leads the band.

The Enid are currently writing and rehearsing in Germany, from where Payne tells TeamRock: "We have a title for the third album in our trilogy but we won't release it until we announce the record. The working title is Reset - the concept for the trilogy was originally Robert's and we've been sensitive to his vision, but the process is so organic.

"One of the biggest reasons Invicta was so different to part one, Journey's End, is that there was new blood throwing ideas into the pot. The same is happening for number three. But the emotional themes remain. This new work was always supposed to be about hitting the reset button and seeing what happens. With the new generation taking the band forward, Reset is more than just a concept - we're living it." more on this story
