REDEMPTION, the US progressive metal band featuring in its ranks legendary FATES WARNING vocalist Ray Alder and guitarist/songwriter Nick van Dyk, will guest on Tony Webster's (ARCHETYPE singer) The Metal Command radio show tonight ( Friday, May 6th).

Says Webster: "These guys are where it's at when it comes to prog metal and in my book they are the best thing going in this genre. I love their songwriting and in fact, their songs are so good they make an eight minute song seem like four. I had the chance to sit down with guitarist/keyboard player Nicolas van Dyk and we talked quite a bit about the band and their upcoming album. If you haven't checked these guys out yet you are missing out on the best prog metal band coming out of the states. So join me tonight at 11pm EST on the 11:00 interview hour of the Metal Command show for an interview with Redemption!"
