    Myth Of Logic is rooted in a deep love of Progressive Rock of all eras, but primarily that of the 1970s.
    Main influences that can be heard include Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Rush, Kansas, Yes and Saga.

    The new album, “Surrounded By Ghosts” was written and recorded here in Saint Petersburg, FL at Boyz Club South Studio and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side music.

    The overall theme of the album is one of adventure, discovery and redemption.
    It follows the story of Robin, a man trapped and fighting for his life.
    He must find a way to defeat a seemingly invincible foe and escape his prison.

    The first single released from the album is “Born To Te Sky”, a flying dream of sorts set against towering clouds and limitless sky.

    Robin’s journey is represented through 12 pieces of varying texture and atmosphere from the more pastoral “Here” to the organ heavy “The Stone House” and punchy guitar dominated “Scars Lament”, “Hollow Body” and “Live The Sound”. The collection is rounded off with the lush ballad “Strange & Beautiful”, the epic “Crucible” and the plaintive finale “Surrounded By Ghosts”.

    “Surrounded By Ghosts” will be released to all streaming platforms and CD on 11.11.22

about

No voices now. Just still calm and cooling night air smelling slightly of flowers and dew through open windows at either side.
The moonlight streaming in lights a large Key on the floor where the cauldron had been.
Visible in front of him the shape of a weathered wooden door can be seen, more moonlight defining its uneven edges.
Battered iron hinges matching the knob and keyhole are covered with age and patina.
Robin lifts the key from its place on the floor. It’s very light in weight and feels familiar.
Approaching the door the lighting from behind comes brighter and more focused.
The door and key are gently humming in harmony becoming unison as he closes the distance.

Robin sits silently for a good long while, reflecting on all the obstacles he fought past made even more hard to overcome by them being of his own design. He feels good. In a way that he can’t recall feeling. The Ghosts are gone. All that remains is the voice inside urging him to go on. The Key speaks. “I have guided you, but you allowed yourself to be guided. This part of our journey together is done. I will remain Here and you will find your way.”

The Key becomes suddenly very heavy. The voice has left it but Robin feels that it is still with him. Inside him.
He turns deliberately and kneels to place the Key in the moonlight on the floor.
He hopes to himself that should anyone else become trapped in that place it will help them as it did for him.
Recalling all that he has been through on this voyage, he give thanks for the sense of inner courage he discovered while Surrounded By Ghosts.

lyrics

Surrounded By Ghosts

Sitting alone in that dark place
Collecting the unanswered calls
Another few lines on that strange face
And staring down cracks in the walls

But this time that I'm wasting
Doesn't belong in my head
And this wine that I'm tasting
Won't help me to rise from the dead

Sleeping in shadows that need me
Knee deep in yesterday's rain
Chains on my heart haven't freed me
Existing just outside the frame

But the torch I've been holding
Is burning the shape that I'm in
And the flame that is scolding
Seems a bit close to the skin

Standing alone in this dark place
No longer surrounded by ghosts
The hand that I hold wears a new face
The one that I needed the most

But it's time that I'm leaving
The last of my phantoms have gone
And the ones that I'm grieving
Won't leave me alone for too long

I'm standing alone in this lost place
The one that I made for myself
I'm learning to live with my true face
The one with new stories to tell

I'm tired of holding me down here
I've fashioned a way to get free
I'm letting myself let it go now
And forgiving for giving the key
To me
