Big Big Train, the international prog rock institution, will reissue the album “Woodcut” on 7. 8. 2026 as an expanded (deluxe) digital edition of their latest studio album, featuring the original record plus demo versions of all sixteen tracks. That brings the total to a whopping 32 tracks on this version of the album.
You can already pre-order “Woodcut (Deluxe Edition)”.
Below is the acoustic version of Chimaera, which will find a home on the digital deluxe edition of “Woodcut”.
On “Woodcut”, released on 6. 2. 2026 via Insideout Music, all seven members of the band contributed to an outstanding result, with frontman Alberto Bravin taking the lead as producer: “Woodcut is a big step forward for us,” says Bravin. With more than 400 separate recordings that had to be sifted through, edited, streamlined and stitched together, and with the motifs needing to be adapted to fit the concept’s theme and the story running through the album, making this record was an especially big challenge for Big Big Train this time around.

Alberto Bravin – lead vocals, guitar, keyboards
Nick D’Virgilio – drums, percussion, 12-string acoustic guitar, backing vocals
Oskar Holldorff – keyboards, vocals
