Crossing Borders

Dutch modern prog rockers Sound Of Strangers have announced the title and release date of their upcoming new album. Crossing Borders will be officially released on 21 May 2023.

After years of honing their craft by performing classic songs from the symphonic rock catalogue, Sound Of Strangers are now ready to leave the musical past behind and step into the musical present with their first collection of original songs, entitled Crossing Borders. The music and lyrics on Crossing Borders have been carefully crafted and recorded between 2020 and 2022. Thematically, the album revolves around a migrant family and relates of the hardships they endure during their travels, as well as their thoughts on the past, present and future. Musically, it stretches all the way from soaring guitar solos and powerful grooves to warm-blooded melodies and mesmerizing polyrhythms. For Sound Of Strangers, Crossing Borders marks both their official debut as a band and a paradigm shift in their collective career due to various lineup changes taking place during or shortly after the recording sessions. However, with the addition of Oscar Alblas (Kong) and Ron Mozer (Ulysses, For Absent Friends), Sound Of Strangers now have a combined 100 years of live and studio experience, thus guaranteeing memorable live shows and loads of epic music to come.
