About
Marillion are a British neo-prog band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in 1979. They emerged from the post-punk music scene in Britain and existed as a bridge between the styles of punk rock and classic progressive rock, becoming the most commercially successful neo-prog band of the 1980s.
Marillion released their debut single "Market Square Heroes" in 1982, followed a year later by their first album Script for a Jester's Tear. They have released 20 studio albums in total. The band achieved eight Top 10 UK albums between 1983 and 1994, including a No. 1 album in 1985 with Misplaced Childhood. The album also produced two UK Top 10 singles in "Kayleigh" (No. 2) and "Lavender" (No. 5), while the follow-up album, 1987's Clutching at Straws, included another UK Top 10 single "Incommunicado" (No. 6). Clutching at Straws was the band's last studio album with their original lead singer, Fish, who left for a solo career in late 1988. Altogether, during the Fish era, Marillion had 11 Top 40 hits on the UK singles chart. "Kayleigh" also entered the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
In early 1989, Marillion announced Steve Hogarth as their new lead singer. The first album with him, Seasons End, was another Top 10 hit, and albums continued to chart well until their departure from EMI Records, following the release of their 1996 live album Made Again, and the dissipation of the band's mainstream popularity in the late 1990s; save for a resurgence in the mid- to late-2000s, they have essentially been a cult act since then. Since the arrival of Hogarth, Marillion have achieved a further 12 Top 40 hit singles in the UK, including 2004's "You're Gone" from the album Marbles, which charted at No. 7 and is the biggest hit of the Hogarth era. In 2016, the album Fuck Everyone and Run (F E A R) returned them to the UK Albums Chart Top 10 for the first time since 1994's Brave. Their most recent album, 2022's An Hour Before It's Dark, entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 2, their highest chart position since Clutching at Straws in 1987. Marillion continue to tour internationally, ranked 38th in Classic Rock's "50 Best Live Acts of All Time" in 2008.
Although unpopular in the mainstream media and unfashionable within the British music industry, Marillion have maintained a loyal international fanbase. The band have been acknowledged as pioneers in the development of crowdfunding and fan-funded music, and have sold over 15 million albums worldwide.

Marillion est un groupe de rock néo-progressif britannique, originaire d'Aylesbury, en Angleterre. Fer de lance du renouveau du rock progressif, il est formé en 1979 sous le nom de Silmarillion — nom emprunté à un roman de J. R. R. Tolkien, auteur du Seigneur des anneaux. Le nom est vite raccourci à Marillion, tandis que le groupe s'éloigne peu à peu de toute référence « folklorique » (à l'imaginaire tolkiéniste, au symphonisme du rock progressif des années 1970's) pour développer une identité propre, caractérisée par une musique plus rythmique à forte dominante de guitares, les textes alambiqués, la voix et la prestation scénique du chanteur Fish, puis de son successeur Steve Hogarth et crée le style dit « rock néo-progressif » avec d'autres formations britanniques telles que Pallas, Pendragon, IQ, ou Twelfth Night.
Parfois hâtivement qualifiée à ses débuts par la presse de « clone de Genesis », la recherche mélodique qui caractérise le groupe et la complexité structurelle des morceaux dépassant souvent les 8 à 10 minutes, alliée au charisme de son chanteur Fish et ses prestations théâtrales lui valent les grâces du public. Le succès de Marillion, d'abord essentiellement cantonné au Royaume-Uni, puis à l'Europe du Nord, s'étend à l'ensemble du continent conquis en 1985 par l'album Misplaced Childhood, album-concept à caractère autobiographique. Cette première période culmine en 1987 avec le très rock et désenchanté Clutching at Straws, qui se solde par le départ de Fish pour des raisons relationnelles et de conflit avec le management du groupe. À partir de 1989 et l'arrivée de Steve Hogarth au chant, une seconde période voit la mise en œuvre d'un son parfois plus pop-rock (Holydays in Eden, 1991), parfois plus sombre (Brave, en 1994). La troisième période débute en 1997, tandis que le groupe se sépare de son Manager et d'EMI pour passer en autoproduction et développer avant tout le monde un modèle de financement participatif original, les fans pré-finançant désormais les albums et tournées du groupe. Il s'agit d'une période en demi-teinte d'un point de vue commercial, mais très riche musicalement, malgré un aspect parfois inabouti et incompris (Radiat10n, marillion.com), dépassé par des albums emblématiques du groupe tels l'album-concept Marbles sorti en 2004, Sounds that Can't Be Made en 2012, F.E.A.R en 2016 ou An Hour Before It's Dark en 2022. Marillion connait ainsi avec ses derniers albums un retour en grâce auprès d'un public élargi, lui permettant, après des années d'underground, de renouer avec le succès populaire et les salles de grande capacité.
Avec plus de 40 ans de carrière et des ventes estimées aujourd'hui à plus de 15 millions d'albums, Marillion est un groupe totalement indépendant, qui a su, à travers Internet, s'affranchir du soutien des médias officiels et des maisons de disque ou distributeurs pour composer et diffuser sa musique, dans une totale liberté d'écriture.
