Realisea releases their third full album, described by the band as "Realisea – the next level", under the title Scratch. Over the past years, Realisea has grown into a seven-piece band, strengthened by the addition of second guitarist Jos de Jong. This expansion has had a major impact on the sound: richer, more layered and more confident than ever before.
Scratch is the natural next step in the band’s musical journey. The melodic progressive rock compositions sound more mature and powerful, featuring frequent and expressive dual-guitar harmonies. As fans have come to expect, multi-layered, harmonious vocals play a central role, with lead and backing vocals shared between Mary.o, Jos Uffing and Brian de Graeve, adding depth and variation throughout the album.
The album is unified by the theme “scratch” - a word that appears on many levels. Scratches are all around us: the small marks life leaves behind, but also the great scratch of our time — the world itself. Fatigue, polarization, climate denial, growing political hostility and ongoing wars all form the backdrop to this record. Scratch is Realisea’s musical reflection on a world showing its cracks.
With Scratch, you get everything you expect from Realisea — and more: strong songwriting, rich arrangements, emotional depth and a band operating at the height of its creative powers.
