Blackfield is a collaborative musical group formed by two talented artists. Originally led by [a227943] and [a357431], the band temporarily shifted its dynamics for "Blackfield IV" (2013), with Wilson taking on a contributor role. However, Wilson resumed a full partnership with Geffen on Blackfield V (2016). The current lineup includes drummer Tomer Z, bassist Seffy Efrati, and keyboardist Eran Mitelman. Former members include Chris Maitland (replaced by Tomer Z in 2004) and Daniel Salomon (replaced by Eran Mitelman in 2007).
With their unique blend of musical talents, Blackfield has created an impressive discography that resonates with fans worldwide. Their music showcases a captivating mix of genres, incorporating elements of rock, alternative, and progressive sounds.
Known for their emotive lyrics and powerful melodies, Blackfield's songs have garnered critical acclaim throughout their career. Their ability to craft thought-provoking compositions has established them as one of the most influential acts in the contemporary music scene.

Kscope is a London-based label specializing in the progressive genre of current music. Launched in 2008, it is a division of Snapper Music, one of the industry's most respected and influential independent labels.

With an impressive roster of talented artists, Kscope has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. The label prides itself on discovering and nurturing unique talents who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible within their respective genres.

From *Steven Wilson* to *Anathema*, *TesseracT* to *The Pineapple Thief*, Kscope represents some of the most exciting and critically acclaimed acts in contemporary music. With a focus on quality over quantity, each release from Kscope is carefully curated to ensure that it meets the high standards set by the label.

Blackfield is the collaboration between Israeli songwriter and musician Aviv Geffen, and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Their second offering 'II', originally released in 2007, is a fan favourite alongside their debut serving as a high benchmark for all progressive music released since and includes the popular songs "My Gift of Silence", "Miss U" and "Once". An experimental record of 10 superbly crafted songs of beauty, power and melancholia, 'Blackfield II' is an exceptional production, full of glorious hooks, lush harmony vocals and edgy guitars. It will be released following the reissue of debut 'Blackfield', two months after Steven Wilson's upcoming fifth solo album 'To The Bone', and after the Blackfield's fifth release 'V' in February earlier this year. The pair makes for a formidable musical force; Geffen has worked with legendary producers Tony Visconti and Trevor Horn, has played live with U2 and Placebo, and is currently a judge on the Israeli TV show The Voice. Wilson, after a long tenure as the leader of the hugely influential band Porcupine Tree, has since embarked on a highly successful solo career, achieving 3 UK top 40 albums (the most recent also making the top 3 in Germany, and The Netherlands), and 4 Grammy nominations.
