“The Vessel – Torn and Tried” is the first single from Eric Gillette‘s upcoming concept album, “The Watcher.”
“The Watcher” came together in a unique way. Every song was written, recorded, and developed live over the course of three masterclasses, allowing those in attendance to witness the creative process as the album took shape.
A journey through consciousness, identity, and the search for meaning, “The Watcher” is a Cinematic Progressive Rock concept album that unfolds across four distinct parts, moving through massive musical passages, intimate moments, and a world shaped by reflection, struggle, and transformation.
Signed CD pre-orders are now available and include:
• A signed 12-page digipak edition
• Early streaming access to the full album on EKG Pulse before its official release
• One month of EKG Pulse included with your purchase
I created EKG Pulse as a way to share my music directly with the people who support it. No label, no algorithm, no middleman. Just a direct connection between artist and listener. It’s where you’ll be able to experience “The Watcher” early, along with future releases, artist broadcasts, and exclusive content as I continue building this independent platform.
