My band M-Opus has released a new album called ORIGINS.

The album is a narrative piece that includes a cast of actors and guest performers; part rock album, part audio play. On drums is Mark Grist and guitars, Colin Sullivan. Guests include Anto Drennan (Genesis, Mike + The Mechanics), Conor McGouran (Xerath, The Enigma Division) and Michael Buckley (Glen Hansard, Dave Liebman).

The story is set in 2187. A washed-up, drunk, genius scientist called Miller McKee gets a call out of the blue. His Ex, a scientist attempting to invent teleportation covertly, has been murdered in inexplicable circumstances. Drawn into the investigation, he uncovers a web of intrigue, a catastrophic plan and must face the challenge of a mystery played out throughout time and space.
