Realisea is an alternative symphonic prog rock project formed by Brian de Graeve, frontman and founder of neo-prog band Silhouette. Along with singer Marjolein, he wrote a series of highly melodic, sometimes folky, progressive rock songs.   Realisea’s debut album, Mantelpeace, featured many guest artists: Michel st-Père (Mystery, Huis), Erik Laan (Silhouette, Chain Reaktor), Simon Rogers (Also Eden), Aldo Adema (Egdon Heath), Sophie Zaaijer (Cesair, Sunfire), Jean Pageau (Mystery) and Bart Laan (SkyLake, Chain Reaktor). Mantelpeace flew a bit under the radar due to the world pandemic, but was received with enthusiasm by national and international music press. Realisea’s second album, Fairly Carefree (Sep/2022).  was released by OOB Records, preceded by the single, Malgré les Vagues, with special guest, Ton Scherpenzeel on keys. In 2023 OOB Records acquired back-catalogue cd, Mantelpeace. When asked about the album, Brian replied: “We are very excited to start collaborating with Kathy Keller, and joining the OOB Records label. This album will showcase new melodic and progressive rock anthems with Pink Floyd-worthy guitar solos, dreamy keyboard textures and dark song-based writing.”
