Kansas Stream New Song 'Visibility Zero'

(Prog) Kansas have released a lyric video for their track "Visibility Zero." The song comes from their upcoming album 'The Prelude Implicit,' which is due out on September 23rd.

The record is Kansas' first since 2000's Somewhere To Elsewhere - and their first since Ronnie Platt replaced longtime singer Steve Walsh in 2014. Drummer Phil Ehart says that their guitarist Zak Rizvi had written Visibility Zero two years ago, starting with "a melody that he played on a guitar."

He tells Rolling Stone: "The next thing was, I had come up with a title, Visibility Zero. The crux of what that meant was, 'It's amazing how people sometimes cannot see things that are right in front of their eyes.'

"When it was done, we all just stood back and said, 'Whoa, this is strong in a lot of different ways.' So that's where it started from, lyrically. I just kind of threw the seed out there - he's the one who did all the work and made it grow."

Speaking of their first album in 16 years, Ehart adds: "I've had so many people say, 'No offence, but when guys your age put out an album, they're always kind of pitiful, and this is not a pitiful album - you guys did a great job.'

"What we need is a couple 100,000 people that feel that way and can get the word out, because there's really no other way to do it." Check out the new song here.
