Preceded and inspired by the likes of Marillion, Rush, Riverside and Pink Floyd, Sound Of Strangers set out in 2016 to establish themselves as a new household name in modern (progressive) rock music. After years of honing their craft by performing classic songs from the symphonic rock catalogue, Sound Of Strangers are now ready to leave the musical past behind and step into the musical present with their first collection of original songs, entitled "Crossing Borders". With "Crossing Borders", Sound Of Strangers present the first chapter in their career as a band. It's a seven-song salute to five decades of symphonic and (neo-)progressive rock - yet at the same time the album offers a glimpse of what is to come for both Sound Of Strangers and the progressive/symphonic rock genre in general.
