Fronted by founding member Thijs Van Leer, and best known for their hits "Hocus Pocus", "House of The King" and "Sylvia", as well as critically acclaimed albums 'Moving Waves', 'Focus 3' and 'Hamburger Concerto', the iconic Dutch music masters are back with their tenth album, which is guaranteed to please their legions of fans! After a comeback in the early 2000s, which resulted in the well-received albums 'Focus 8' and 'Focus 9', the band regrouped with a fantastic new line-up. Along with Thijs van Leer on vocals, flute and keyboards, back on the drums is famed Focus drummer Pierre van der Linden, who joined the group on their second album 'Moving Waves' in 1972. Internationally renowned for his rhythmic skills, Pierre remains a defining factor in the Focus sound. Guitarist Menno Gootjes, who participated in Focus at an earlier stage, and acclaimed bass player Udo Pannekeet, complete the band's current line-up.

Whilst the album boasts some of Pierre's greatest and most energetic drum sequences to date. Allowing the younger guard to take the audio reins for the first time, Focus 12 is produced by band members Udo Pannekeet and Menno Gootjes, who also contribute two compositions on the album. Thijs commented, How beautiful life can be when a band plays so easily and so together. Focus 12 was recorded at the world-renowned Wisseloord Studios in the band's native country, of the Netherlands. A first for Focus, the album features a completely improvised piece which was captured as it spontaneously took place in the studio, during the recording process. Thus proving that more than 50 years on, the band are still excited by undertaking something new and different. Van Leer continues, Thanks, Pierre, Udo and Menno for so much musical passion! The band continue their long association with legendary artist Roger Dean, whose stunning artwork graces the front cover and packaging. The vinyl version features a stunning gatefold sleeve. Focus continues to be one of the hardest working rock bands on the planet, regularly touring the globe playing live. Last July, they undertook a string of live dates across the USA and Canada, as part of Asia's Heat Of The Moment Tour, alongside Asia, Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash and Curved Air. Thijs van Leer concludes, After all these years, Focus is in the here and now; the triumph of survival!
