Singer/Guitarist Gary Noon returns with the first full-length release from Walking With Giants, the musical project he started in 2013. The debut LP Worlds Unknown is slated for release on January 15, 2016 on Noon’s own Walking With Giants, LLC Records.
The album finds Noon teaming up with Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery, drummer Morgan Rose and Alter Bridge bassist Brian Marshall, who got together in the summer of 2015 to write and record the debut full-length. Worlds Unknown was produced by Clint Lowery and is available for pre-order at http://www.wwgiants.com.
From the opening piano instrumental of the first track “Worlds Unknown Part 1,” to its companion piece and album bookend “Worlds Unknown Part 2,” it is clear that Walking With Giants have created something special. Songs like “Broken Truth,” “Bound” and “Different Voice” demonstrate the musicianship that attracted Lowery, Marshall and Rose to work with Noon.
An official music video for the track “Heavy Hand,” is available and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/O5GutoDNaog. The video shows Walking With Giants in the studio creating and recording Worlds Unknown and the enjoyment of the process is seen on their faces throughout the clip. A deluxe edition of the album is available that features the bonus tracks “Crashing Down” (Acoustic), “Another Life” (Acoustic) and “Worlds Unknown” (Combines Parts 1 and 2 into a single track).
The tracklisting for Worlds Unknown is:
Walking With Giants was started in 2013 by singer/guitarist Gary Noon. Noon’s original intention was to create a tribute band to his two musical influences: Sevendust and Alter Bridge. Through an introduction by a mutual friend, Noon met Clint Lowery and a musical bond was formed.
This bond led to the release of a self-titled EP in 2013 in which Alter Bridge drummer Scott “Flip” Phillips was recruited to play drums.
The One By One EP (taken from an Alter Bridge song title) brought bassist Brian Marshall into the fold and Noon has not looked back since. The plan is to take Walking With Giants on the road in 2016 with a myriad of players, but keeping the core players from the Worlds Unknown sessions for the studio recordings.
