Trespass is the second album by Genesis, released on 23 October 1970.In the aftermath of From Genesis to Revelation, the band split from producer Jonathan King and sought to find a new sound for themselves. After drummer John Silver departed the band to pursue an education in Cornell, Genesis started touring as a professional band with new drummer John Mayhew. It was while in residency in Soho that they had come across producer John Anthony, who signed them into the Charisma Records label and brought them to Trident Studios in London to record. In America, the album was originally licensed to Impulse! Records, the jazz imprint of ABC, who reissued it themselves years later; the US rights to the album would later be inherited by MCA, who own said Stateside rights to this day.The original run sold around six thousand copies, not highly successful but better than From Genesis to Revelation, and enough to build up a live following. Much to their surprise it charted at #1 in Belgium, leading to a first overseas concert there. Anthony Philips quit the band shortly after recording, almost splitting the band before they decided to name Mick Barnard as a replacement before settling on Steve Hackett. John Mayhew was also replaced with Phil Collins in the intervening months before the release of Nursery Cryme.

Darker and Edgier: "The Knife", a Hard Rock song on an album full of pastoral Folk Rock (though all six tracks also qualify as Progressive Rock).

Ripped from the Headlines: The interlude in "The Knife", where a group of soldiers mow down a crowd of protesters, was inspired by the Kent State University shootings in the United States, which occurred one month before the album began recording.

Longest Song Goes Last

comment
Longest Song Goes Last: "The Knife", although that track beats "Stagnation" by a mere nine seconds. Its nine-minute length on the album was nothing, though; it was known to reach up to nineteen in concert. ("Stagnation", meanwhile, was thirteen minutes at one point before being edited down.)

Gratuitous Panning: The lines "some of you are going to die; martyrs, of course, for the freedom that I shall provide" in the choruses jump from the left channel to the right one. The last instance of the line at the end of the song reverses the direction.

Meet the New Boss: How "The Knife" ends, with a victorious shout of "we have won" and a reprise of the lines "some of you are going to die; martyrs, of course, for the freedom that I shall provide," indicating that the song's narrator has become just as despotic of a tyrant as the evil that he overthrew.

Knight Templar: The protagonist of "The Knife", who winds up no better than the tyrants he overthrows. As the song progresses, he goes from rallying people against evil to giving detailed instructions for massacres and mutilation; at the end of the song, he proclaims victory, but implies that he'll only continue pushing armed violence.

Musical Pastiche: "The Knife" was a pastiche of the Nice, to the extent that its Working Title was in fact "Nice". The organ part was inspired by its then-up-and-coming organ player, one Keith Emerson.
