DUTCH PROG ROCK GROUP DILEMMA RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO “THUNDER” FROM FORTHCOMING THIRD ALBUM ‘THE PURPOSE PARADOX’:
ZOOM EXCLUSIVE WITH DRUMMER COLLIN LEIJENAAR ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS LIVE FROM THE NETHERLANDS.
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.
BIO: At the end of this summer, on September 20, modern progressive rock band DILEMMA presents its third full length album, ‘The Purpose Paradox’. This concept album, spanning over 60 minutes, will be released on CD, double LP and via all streaming platforms, and distributed internationally by Butler Records, a division of V2 Records.
It features 9 brand new tracks ranging in length from 4 to nearly 16 minutes. The sound showcases a broader side of DILEMMA — louder, faster, more technical, more progressive. With new frontman Jermain van der Bogt (Wudstik), the vocals have become rawer and more varied. Almost six years after the previous record ‘Random Acts of Liberation’ the band sounds reborn.
Like its predecessor, ‘The Purpose Paradox’ was produced by drummer Collin Leijenaar, who, together with the famed music wizard Rich Mouser (The Mouse House, LA), was also responsible for the mix and mastering. Thanks to their unmatched ears, the result is an audio experience that DILEMMA has worked on with great pride over the past years.
Collin made a name in the progressive rock scene by becoming the drummer, bandleader and tour manager in the European live band of Neal Morse (Transatlantic/Flying Colors) where he subbed for Mike Portnoy (Transatlantic/Flying Colors/ex-Dream Theater).
But he is not only a musician but also a successful entrepreneur.
His main company is Novae (NO VEE) Popschool, a modern music school which is operating in The Netherlands. To date his music school has grown into an organization with over 500+ students and a team of 35 teachers, staff members and volunteers and has several locations across cities in The Netherlands.
PLEASE WELCOME THE DRUMMER/PRODUCER/ENGINEER/ FOR DUTCH PROGRESSIVE ROCK BAND DILEMMA COLLIN LEIJENAAR TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS…
