A new project
A new solo album project by Mark Truey is underway and will be released in April 2027. “Breaking Down The Barriers” explores themes dear to Mark, such as preserving the planet, love, and peace among peoples. Mark’s melodies and lyrics, set to music he and a few musician friends scattered around the world, are enhanced by Sean Timms’ magnificent arrangements. Yes, it’s a progressive rock album, but it’s more than that; it’s an anthem to life and hope.

This rock opera project, the brainchild of the talented trio Johan Chasseur/Mark Trueack/Peter Lazar (CTL), will be available in October 2026. Mark Trueack was involved in the creation of this progressive rock album by writing the story, vocals arrangement and lead vocals. His very recognizable vocal timbre fits perfectly into the harmonies and captivating themes of the music producers Johan CHASSEUR and Peter LAZAR. This story will bring you on a musical path that leads to each of the seven deadly sins with beautiful lyrics and amazing  prog rock melodies. This “CTL” trio, supported by talented musicians, presents us a definitely “Must have” album!
