Gandalf`s Fist: With their first full album following the hugely acclaimed 5-disc Clockwork Saga!

Gandalf’s Fist is an English band originally from Maryport, Cumbria, England. The band operates and records their own material from their headquarters currently located in South Norfolk.Their music is influenced by 1970s progressive/psychedelic rock. The group formed in 2005, and built their reputation through various airplay by national radio (Planet Rock Radio, Teamrock Radio) with the help of several interviews in the Classic Rock presents Prog-Magazine, they cemented their reputation by playing at the Second Stageof Planet Rockstock in Great Yarmouth in December 2013,despite being a initially studio only project. They were featured in the TOP20 of Geoff Barton’s 2013 Critic’s choice in PROG Magazine Issue #41.

Medieval space rock wizards, Gandalf’s Fist, celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their debut album two years ago with a special edition re-imagining of the entire record, entitled The (Re)Master And The Monkey. Awash with swashbuckling acoustics, crunching riffs and soaring synths, what is surely one of the most bizarre and psychedelically allegorical concept albums in living memory has been completely re-worked and re-recorded from the ground up and features brand new narrative elements that bring the release firmly in line with their Clockwork Saga, which received great critical acclaims.

 Now the band are back with  a new album. UK Prog-rock wizards, Gandalf’s Fist, have today announced details of their 8th full-length album, Widdershins, and have begun pre-orders on the title. The release marks their first full album following the hugely acclaimed 5-disc Clockwork Saga and is again a conceptual work, this time a collection of individually crafted songs, exploring the superstitious nature of human existence.

Gandalf’s Fist front man/guitarist, Dean Marsh, commented: «We’re immensely proud of this album! It contains all the elements that make this band unique along with a fantastic collection of killer riffs, our best vocals yet and the longest song we’ve ever recorded! We really think this album captures the tone and feel of those ‘epic’ albums of the 70’s and 80’s and certainly allows fans, both old and new, to see this band firing on all cylinders!».
