IAN MOSLEY (MARILLION): “When We’re Writing Music, There Aren’t Any Boundaries”

It’s Always Darkest Before the Dawn

UK Prog-rock stalwarts Marillion recently released their 20th studio album entitled An Hour Before It’s Dark. Despite the music’s dark tones, Marillion’s lyrics are uplifting and challenge the listener to make a positive impact with the time they have left in this world. I had the chance to speak with drummer Ian Mosley prior to the album’s release.

Highlights Include

• Discussion of the new Marillion album An Hour Before It’s Dark
• The band’s process when it comes to songwriting
• The impact crowd funding has had on the band’s career
• What is Marillion weekend
• Why Ian passed on joining AC/DC
• … and much, much more!
