The neoprog pioneers SOLSTICE dare once again a comeback in a new guise

1. December 2020

Solstice belonged to the pioneers of the neoprog scene in the 80s, but unlike their comrades-in-arms IQ, Marillion or Pendragon, they had the status of an insider tip for a long time, even though they released a new album every now and then during the last 40 years.
