Hackett says: "Off the rails and breaking waves - I look forward to sailing into the UK with the electric band in November with a new fresh set of tracks from my latest album Beyond the Shrouded Horizon, whilst continuing to salvage sunken treasure from the past!"

Steve followed it with Live Rails, which featured the most exhilarating and charged moments of his 2009 - 2010 tour. As well as the album, Hackett has also been busy completing a live DVD which was filmed at his Shepherds Bush Empire Show in 2010 as well as at some of the European dates.
