Third degree release details
The third studio album of Flying Colors — aptly named Third degree — will be released on October 4, 2019, via Music Theory Recordings / Mascot Label Group.
The first sessions for Third Degree took place at Steve Morse’s studio in Florida in December 2016, wherein seven songs were written. From there, the bandmembers had to scatter back to their other personal and professional obligations, eventually reconvening two full years later in December 2018, when three more tracks were added to the overall Third Degree mix. (The tenth track, “Waiting for the Sun,” will be made available in forthcoming special editions.)
At this point, Portnoy deployed to Neal Morse’s Nashville studio to cut his drum tracks, while Neal and Casey often got together on Skype, as they’ve done in the past, to hone the lyrics.
The album will be available in following formats:
- CD Digipack;
- limited edition 2LP 180 gram blue vinyl in a gatefold sleeve (with download card);
- 2LP 180 gram black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve (w/ download card);
- limited edition box set featuring CD, 40 page photobook, two coasters, and a bonus disc with six tracks.
