CORSAIR SHREDS: European Tour Campaign:
After five years together, two EPs (Alpha Centauri 2010, Ghosts of Proxima Centauri 2011) and a full length (Corsair
2012) CORSAIR was picked up by Shadow Kingdom Records in 2012. By
mid-2013, SKR had re-released all of the band's material and the
Berlin-based High Roller Records was slated to press their entire
catalogue on vinyl. This garnered the band much attention from
reviewers and magazines all over the world, bringing high praise and
features in publications such as Decibel Magazine (U.S), Rock Hard
Magazine (Germany) and Terrorizer Magazine (U.K.). CORSAIR is currently
hard at work prepping for their upcoming European tour and have plans to
tour the U.S. and record a new album upon return. For more on CORSAIR,

"This co-ed Virginia
quartet's first full-length is as confident and realized a debut as has
come down the metal pike in many a moon. Two instrumentals ignite
midway between '70s fusion and '80s Metallica; seven songs with words
alternately set mythic D&D play-by-play to relaxed NWOBHM or the
toastiness, tunefulness, rhythm and calm of classic Thin Lizzy.
Criss-crossing guitars of Paul Sebring and Marie Landragin warm prog
intricacy with blues á la the great lost Chicago band Winterhawk.
Landragin finally takes vocal reins in "The Desert," and closes the set
traversing Yes-like topography."- Chuck Eddy, Rhapsody
"The Ghosts of Proxima Centauri are plenty
haunting, and one gets the sense that Corsair have the means to make the
most of their growth in the time to come. Hope to catch them at Beta
Centauri or coming to a star system near you." TheObelisk.net
"At the intersection of Clutch, Thin Lizzy and Hawkwind lies Corsair, with their beautifully vintage guitar tones, emphasis on often-harmonized leads and solos, drifting and yet energetic prog-jam tendencies, and hints of hazy psychedelia." - Last Rites

"Ghosts of Proxima Centauri is unique work I can't recommend highly enough - I mean, Slough Feg, Falcon AND ELO?? Get outta here! Great, unique sound, 'Adventure Rock' supreme!!" - Hellride Music
"Yes: beautiful, is not Ynwie-Malmsteen-dudelig. We are talking about very tasteful, fresh, intelligent composed riffs that you want to hear again and again. So was the 1983 Iron Maiden also: They wanted to replace the same record over and over again. And so what happens truly not often nowadays!" [9/10]

Born
out of the hot embers of Charlottesville, VA's Black Sabbath annual
tribute band, Mass Sabbath, Corsair formed in early 2008 with the
purpose of writing progressive rock that would transcend space and time.
Having endured the intensive training of of Mass Sabbath and most
recently, Spinal Tap, Corsair has emerged with calloused fingers and a
united, unbending will to unleash new found guitharmony powers onto the
world of rock. Think Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and King Crimson.
