Formed in the late 80s, Porcupine Tree is a British rock band whose music is a combination of progressive rock, psychedelia, ambient and, more recently, metal. Both Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson have several times expressed their appreciation for this band. In the latest issue of the Porcupine Tree fanzine Carbon Nation (issue #6) it is revealed that both Alex Lifeson and King Crimson's Robert Fripp will be making guest appearances on the group's next album which is currently set for release next April on Atlantic Records. Thanks to Power Windows for the news.

This is just the latest in a slew of guest appearances by Alex Lifeson on various projects. Most recently it was announced that he would appear on the next release from Pennsylvania-based metal band, The Drama Club. The Drama Club was formed in 2004 by former Lifer frontman Nick Coyle and former Stalemate members Nate Bevan and R.J. MacLean. Lerxst has worked with Nick Coyle in the past; Lifer's self-titled debut album was produced by Alex Lifeson.
