The new album Step Into The Future by GEORGE BELLAS is complete and in the final stages of production. According to a press release, "this new album is the most massive body of music that George will have ever released. It was composed in an intense frenzy of inspiration between December 9th, 2007 and January 12th, 2008. The writing process took place every single day with George frantically composing note by note with only paper and pencil. The album once again stretches the boundaries of the composer's prolific abilities and utilizes compositional elements not found on any of his other releases. Step Into The Future is ultra-modern and progressive in style and very elegantly displays a vast dynamic range of sound. It is an extreme showcase of George's penchant for highly unique, creative writing. There are melodies on the album that are pin-drop soft, subdued and spine-shivering, and then there are moments of bombastic explosiveness that reveal an entirely different madman type character. Polymeters, interval sets, twelve-tone serialism, polychords and Bellas's drenched in feeling solos all contribute in setting him apart from the horde and very much put him in a league of his own. There is also a big surprise to the album that will be revealed just prior to its release and will instantly set it apart from the current trend."

Step Into The Future will be released worldwide on the Lion Music later this year.
