PROGRESSIVE NATION founder Mike Portnoy elaborates:
"In 2008 & 2009, I created a touring package called "Progressive

America and one in Europe) that showcased a variety of bands that embraced the
spirit and musicality of progressive music.
Well after a 5 year hiatus, I have decided to resurrect Progressive
Nation and this time we are taking it to the seas!
But rather than a 4 band bill like previous Progressive Nation tours,
we have expanded the bill to OVER TWENTY of today's greatest progressive bands,
musicians and artists!
Myself and my former DT bandmate Derek Sherinian have teamed up with
Sixthman (who have done incredibly successful cruises with Kid Rock, Lynyrd
Skynyrd and the annual Kiss Cruise to name a few) as well as our friends at

SOULFLY: Fifth "Savages" Trailer Posted!
Photo credit: Charlene Tupper
Metal icons SOULFLY, led by legendary frontman and guitarist Max Cavalera, have released the fifth trailer for the band's upcoming album Savages here http://youtu.be/pBGUjC09r6k. In it Cavalera talks about what it was like working with legendary producer Terry Date on their ferocious new record.
Ever since the band's gold-certified debut in 1998, SOULFLY have become deadlier and more dangerous with each critically acclaimed successive release and Savages is no exception. The record was produced by the world-renowned Terry Date (PANTERA, DEFTONES, SOUNDGARDEN), and will also be the first to feature Max Cavalera's 21-year-old son Zyon on drums. The artwork was created by artist Paul Stottler, who is best known for SACRED REICH’s legendary Surf Nicaragua cover. Savages will be released as a limited edition digipak CD, 2LP vinyl and digital download on October 1 (North America) and October 4 (Europe) via Nuclear Blast. Guest vocal appearances on Savages include bass player Tony Campos, Max Cavalera's other son Igor Cavalera (LODY KONG), CLUTCH's Neil Fallon, NAPALM DEATH's Mitch Harris and Jamie Hanks of I DECLARE WAR.
As if there was a more metal way to come into the world, Zyon’s heartbeat in utero served as the intro toSEPULTURA’s 1993 classic RIAA-gold-certified record Chaos A.D. Max would depart SEPULTURA soon after the release of Roots in 1996.
