The album was funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign, which the Marillion guitarist admitted exceeded all his expectations. Last month he made opening track Morpheus, featuring Hackett, available as a free download.

The Ghosts Of Pripyat is released on September 22. It's available for pre-order in deluxe and standard editions, while a live album, recorded during the Steve Rothery Band's second-ever show, is also available.
