Our new album is out today!
One of the first reviews:
“So get D-Day by Knight Area. Get it because it is a wonderful tribute to an incredible event and the people who made it so.
Get it because it is a great account of history. Or, what the heck, get it because it’s a damn good album.” (Sonic Perspectives)
Get it now!

The video was shot in Normandy and honours the American paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions and the glider troops that followed. To pass on the memory, to remind that today we live in peace, freedom and dignity because others gave their life for us.
After several months of writing material for the seventh Knight Area studio album, Gerben Klazinga, Mark Bogert, Pieter van Hoorn and Peter Vink have decided to separate ways with Mark Smit, who has been the lead singer of Knight Area since the beginning of the band in 2003.
Mark Smit has been responsable for the vast majority of the lyrics, lead and backing vocals and has contributed several compositions and keyboard parts. Therefore we want to thank Mark from the bottom of our hearts, we are proud of being a band with him for almost 15 years.
We were looking for a new lead singer the last weeks and we expect to be able to inform you about this in the coming days. We will continue working on our seventh studio album about D-Day, our plans about the new album haven’t changed.
Dear friends,
We have an important update about the new Knight Area album. The theme of this album will be D-Day. We want to give this theme all the grandeur it deserves. We invite you to help us with this by contributing to this ambitious project. Please donate at:

Since we are looking for someone based in the Netherlands this announcement is in Dutch.
Knight Area zoekt met spoed een (on)ervaren gitaar-/basroadie zonder sociaal leven. In het bezit van een tomeloze inzet, goed gevoel voor humor en een uitstekend mentaal incasseringsvermogen. We betalen je in onvergetelijke ervaringen, lauwe maaltijden, fysieke slijtage, slapeloze nachten, afgedankte groupies en onbetaalbare herinneringen. Werktijden variëren, meestal in de weekenden (soms inclusief vrijdagmiddag) en gemiddeld zo één a twee keer per maand (wereld-tournees en doordeweekse inzet in overleg).
