Amplifier Returns with Eighth Studio Album, Gargantuan

British progressive rock band Amplifier announces the release of their eighth studio album, Gargantuan, a testament to the band's enduring creativity and evolving sound.

Gargantuan marks a new chapter for Amplifier, now a duo featuring Sel Balamir and Matt Brobin. Born from late-night jams in a secluded Sussex smithy, the album sees the band return to their roots, embracing a raw, electric energy while pushing sonic boundaries.

"In good conscience, I could hardly go there and fire up a Marshall stack at 2 am," says Balamir. "Matt plays louder and harder than anyone else I know, so we irresistibly ended up going down the route of pure electricity."

The result is an album that's both expansive and intimate, featuring intricate soundscapes, thunderous riffs, and poignant reflections. From the driving opener "Gateway" to the dark, melodic "King Kong" and the poignant closer "Long Road," Gargantuan showcases Amplifier's signature blend of progressive rock and experimental sounds.

"If you look at the back catalog, it's very varied," says Balamir. "The band has never been tied into one thing... We've never fitted into any of those moments. But that's good – don't be wiped out by the asteroid."

Gargantuan is not just a collection of songs; it's a journey through the band's evolution, reflecting on their past while embracing the future. Recorded using a unique headphone-based approach, the album captures a raw energy and spontaneity that's both captivating and exhilarating.

Amplifier will embark on a UK tour in support of Gargantuan in March and April 2025, their first ever as a two-piece. These dates promise an explosive live experience, showcasing the band's renewed energy and passion for pushing musical boundaries.
