Marillion guitarist and founding member Steve Rothery is releasing his recently crowdfunded solo record The Ghosts of Pripyat on February 2, 2015 in Europe and February 24, 2015 in North America via InsideOut Music.

The Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for the album reached its target in just 24 hours, with Steve stating:

“I have been amazed and humbled at the support I’ve received.” It wasn’t just the fans that helped create this album though, with two very special guest appearances from Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Steve Hackett (Genesis), who both lend their guitar playing skills to tracks on the album. The cover image of the album (which can be viewed above) is an aerial shot of Pripyat in Ukraine by French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and the artwork is by the legendary Lasse Hoile.

The full track-listing for the album is as follows:
Morpheus

The band line-up for the album is:
