Easter


"Easter" is a track by British neo-progressive rock band Marillion, featured on their 1992 singles collection. The song originates from the Seasons End era, the band's landmark 1989 album that introduced lead vocalist Steve Hogarth after the departure of Fish. For electric guitarists, it offers an excellent study in the melodic, atmospheric playing style that defines Marillion's post-Fish period, with textured chord work and expressive lead lines characteristic of neo-prog.

  • Seasons End, the album associated with this era, reached number 7 on the UK Albums Chart in 1989.
  • "Easter" marks a transition period for Marillion, showcasing new vocalist Steve Hogarth's influence on the band's musical direction.
  • Marillion are considered pioneers of neo-progressive rock, making their catalog valuable for guitarists studying the genre's techniques.

Steve Rothery's primary instrument for Marillion's classic sound, the Strat delivers the glassy single-coil tone and dynamic range essential to his swelling passages and biting solos on albums like 'Misplaced Childhood.' Its responsive volume knob allows him to transition seamlessly from whisper-soft clean textures to cutting leads.

Rothery deploys the Les Paul's thicker humbucker tone for heavier, more saturated sections within Marillion's progressive arrangements, providing harmonic weight while maintaining the clarity he demands from moderate-output pickups.

The Custom variant offers Rothery enhanced versatility for darker, weightier tones in Marillion's heavier passages, with its construction supporting the sustained, compressed character needed to cut through dense layered arrangements.

Rothery uses this tempo-synced delay to create the shimmering, repeating textures and atmospheric depth that define Marillion's sound, layering it with chorus and reverb for lush, spacious soundscapes.
