Until Rain have posted a video about “Marionettes”, the closing track of the band’s third album “Anthem To Creation”, on their official YouTube channel. The Greek-British progressive metal group use the clip to talk through the making of the song and to point fans to their Bandcamp page, where their albums and merchandise are sold.
The band describe “Marionettes” as one of the longest songs on the record.
One of the longest songs on the album (9.5 min), it felt like the best choice to close this epic 80-minute prog journey!

Nine and a half minutes to close
No release date for “Anthem To Creation” appears in the announcement, and the post gives no track list beyond “Marionettes”. What it does establish is the scale of the record: an 80-minute running time, with the closing song itself at 9.5 minutes. “Marionettes” is presented as the endpoint of that sequence, chosen because of its length.
Donna Zed on backing vocals
