Journey experiences Revelation!

Back in the late-70s and early-80s, AOR superstars Journey ruled the radio airwaves, but in the new millennium, the revamped band is just trying to get its music heard above the pop culture din. The band has toured and recorded without former frontman Steve Perry for years, forging a new Journey sound that is part classic melodic rock and part prog-styled instrumental virtuosity. The current Journey line-up features long-time guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain , bassist Ross Valory, drummer Deen Castronovo, and new vocalist Arnel Pineda.

Journey opens a new chapter in the band's story with the June 3, 2008 release of Revelation, a massive three-disc set that will be sold exclusively through Wal-Mart stores (*shudder*). A gift for the band's loyal fans and new followers alike, the set's first CD will feature re-recordings of eleven classic Journey songs, the second CD will offer eleven new songs from the band, and the third disc will be a live concert DVD. All of the music on Revelation was produced by Kevin Shirley, who worked with the band on its Platinum-selling Trial By Fire album.

Journey will hit the road in July in support of Revelation, with exact details to be announced soon.
