Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during the 'In Absentia' sessions, 'Futile' captures Steven Wilson's band leaning heavily into their newfound metallic crunch, propelled by Gavin Harrison's virtuosic drumming. Originally created as a promotional tool for American radio, the EP features heavy, alternate takes that underscore their shift toward progressive metal.
