John Bassett is a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer primarily known for writing the music and producing the critically acclaimed albums of Progressive Rock act KingBathmat and more recently Arcade Messiah. He has so far released nine albums since 2003 and self-released them through the record label Stereohead Records.
II will be his second album under the Arcade Messiah banner.
"It’s a continuation of that [last year's original Arcade Messiah] album, that is hopefully bigger, better, more refined and more dramatic, but which didn't lose the vibe and atmosphere that was created on the original album."
