What a successful start to the new rock year! After there were already first rumors in 2021, there is now the certainty: Jethro Tull will present a new album in January 2022. "The Zealot Gene" is the name of the 22nd studio album of the British progressive rock legends, the first record in 18 years. The last album to be released was "The Jethro Tull Christmas Album" in 2003 "The Zealot Gene" is also the band's first album on their new label Inside Out Music/Sony Music. Ian Anderson had this to say about the collaboration, "After 54 years in the world of recorded music, it gives me great pleasure to sign Jethro Tull to a record label that reminds me in many ways of the old Chrysalis label - both as an independent and in its later years in partnership with EMI. Here are real musicians with a passion for the best and most creative in rock music. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship and more releases in the future."
