Marillion have continued to create intricate, melodic rock, and have a dedicated fanbase throughout the world.

As one of the original instigators of the DIY model in the music industry, Marillion will, once again, release their latest album on their own label, Intact Records.

Their last independently distributed album, 2004’s “Marbles” spawned two Top 20 singles; “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and “You’re Gone”, through mail order sales alone.
