Many years ago, I released Death Is Just A Feeling and I felt that it would be my last.
Little did I know that almost 5 years later I’d be writing this post, on a Friday the 13th, to bring to you the news about my upcoming double album, yes you read that right.
The new album will be called No One, and the sides will be called:
Songs for No One Songs about No One
The album is personal, very personal. I was able to visit parts of my life that I managed to suppress for a long time, I explored new sounds, new instruments, and a lot of elements of electronic music.
As usual, the album will feature my favorite artists from the international prog scene, I can’t wait to share the news with you.
Release date and track list will be announced on Friday the 13th of May.
Thank you for your continuous support and love, I love you too. Amadeus Awad

Jimmy Keegan
Hey Kids! So … In 2003 I was asked to join Spock’s Beard. I had been toying with the idea of putting my own band together but this seemed a safer route as well as an honorable one. Nick had become the singer and they needed a drummer who could sing (especially the high bits) as well as play the often complex parts that Nick had crafted so well. The fit seemed perfect. Almost too perfect! I became the touring drummer while Nick played alongside and in the studio. Some time later, Nick would get a call to join Cirque du Soleil and he decided to take the offer, as I would’ve as well. I became the full time drummer and tracked two fantastic records as well as some great tours and shows. The idea of my own band was still nagging. I started to humor it and raised some money in a campaign but the schedule has proven extremely difficult and I have been way too slow to produce this first album. I should’ve been doing this long ago. For this reason, I have stepped down as the drummer for Spock’s Beard and will be putting all my efforts into my own project. Oh sure, I will continue doing sessions, gigs and short tours but my daily focus will now be … well, myself. For those who contributed, I can’t thank you enough for your patience. For SB fans, you will be in good hands. Look to the guys for announcements of what is to come.
Definitely not an easy decision but a necessary one. Thanks for your support and thanks to Spock’s Beard for allowing me to be a part of such a fantastic band for so long.
Stay tuned!
