     " AGENTS OF MERCY'S, " AMAZING & INCREDIBLE frontman, composer, and performer, NAD SYLVAN, gave this announcement, after he performed at the ROSFEST, and received this unexpected phone call.  

     HERE'S A FEW WORDS FROM NAD HIMSELF ( As propagated on FACEBOOK ):  

BREAKING NEWS!!

     " Ok, you might as well hear it from me first. "  

 
     " So, the Unifaun album, that caught the attention of mr Stolt, some 3½ years ago, lead up to the Agents of Mercy´s birth. " 

     " As they say, ' One thing leads to another. ' - Very true! " 

     " After three albums (Plus a live album) with AOM, this happens. "  

     " About a month ago, I got a call from Steve Hackett (Genesis).  He said he is in the process of making a sequal to his Genesis revisited album, ' Watcher of the Skies ' (1996). "

     " He wondered if I would be interested in recording three songs for Genesis revisited II, namely - ' Eleventh Earl of Mar, ' ' The Musical Box, ' and ' The Chamber of 32 Doors. '  (It will be a double album, and apart from myself on vocals, there will be people like Steven Wilson, Nik Kershaw and John Wetton among others.) " 

     " I would be a fool to say no, right?  So off I went to London two days ago, spent almost the whole Wednesday in the studio with Steve, his lovely wife Jo, and his right hand Roger King - just trying out things and also getting to know each other a bit.  The chemestry was there from the word go! " 

     " The album is supposedly due out, somewhere around October 2012. " 

     " Thing is - there's a disscussion of a tour in 2013, and Steve wants me to perform the whole show, as his singer and frontman, singing old Genesis classics. "  

     " Did I die and go to heaven? "  " Almost think so! " 

     " A little teaser is, that I will join Steve and his band on stage, June the 24 (this year) on the ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL, to sing, ' Watcher of the Skies. ' No batwings and cape, but I will make do with what I have, my voice. " 

     " Roine and Jonas are very busy this year, with the long awaited Flower Kings reunion, and who knows how long they will be touring, so this gives me a little time to do something else too. " 

     " AOM fans - fear not! "  " We will be back in the studio around November/December for AOM4! "  

     " Hope this piece of news is as exciting for some of you that it is to me! " 

Stay tuned - ALL MY LOVE, 

Nad
