D-Day album released!

September 20, 2019

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!

D-Day video and single release: Blood on the Risers

Today is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, as a tribute our heroes we’re proud to release our new single ‘Blood on the Risers’!

 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.

New lead singer announced

December 6, 2018
Dear Knight Area fans,
We were looking for a new lead singer during the last weeks and we are very excited 
to let you know that we found an extraordinary appropriate and skilled singer to join Knight Area.
We are proud to announce that Jan Willem Ketelaers will be the new lead singer of Knight Area.
Jan Willem has a track record with bands such as Ayreon and Robby Valentine and the auditions with
us were very promising and exciting.
We welcome Jan Willem in our band and together with him we will continue working on our seventh studio album about D-Day.
Join us in our excitement and feel free to welcome Jan Willem in our band!

Knight Area and lead singer Mark Smit separate ways

December 3, 2018

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.

Knight Area looking for roadie

April 7, 2018

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).

Stuur je reactie naar management@knightarea.com of stuur ons een bericht via Facebook of Twitter!
