Determination. Dedication. Honor. These aren't just words. These are mantras followed by Spoken, which sets them aside in the music industry. Those words define the passion by the which this band takes on the world. With their new album, Illusion, releasing on 02/12/2013, this band has achieved a new pinnacle in modern rock. RockRevolt Magazine enjoyed a wonderful afternoon talking to Spoken's very own Matt Baird about their new album, Illusion!
We sat down with Vreth of Finntroll and grilled him about their new album, life on the road and what it's like in a Texas jail cell. Curious? Read our interview!
Every once in a while, a great band you've never heard of crosses your path, or a great album from a previously lackluster band grabs you by the balls and gets your attention. Sadly this is neither of those.
Spence first got on our radar a little over a year ago when we realized they were personally out and about pounding the pavement and getting people excited about their music and brand. The band members were actively seeking out people in the biz and inviting them to listen and to come to a show. Now, that doesn't make them extraordinary. No. Many bands do that. What Spence had was charisma and charm…and persistence. They were good at making sure that people that were remotely close to their venues were aware of their tour and personally invited them to come out. They reminded us over and over again where they were, and made sure that we were there to hang with them and have a drink. Dedication and persistence.
After the cancelation of the American tour, many of our heads hung low. So much anticipation to see such an amazing band, and to have it ripped from us, like slap in the face! Here at RockRevolt we screamed out "Why?!" Personally, I hung my head and shed a few tears. In learning and researching about the Cradle, the more the disappointment clung to my chest like a noxious disease. During my bleakest moment of despair, little did I know that I would be speaking to Dani Filth less than two weeks later about that very same scandal.
Voices and Vessels waste no time in the three track EP "Those Who Deceive." It's structured to be one of those records that are good enough to be melodic and lure you into a sense of sweet security, before punching you in the face and telling you to wake up.
Post-Hardcore/Pop-Metal? That's the odd label that the six-piece Apparitions call themselves, but there's no real evident genre present in their latest album.

This album has EVERYTHING that you could ever want in a metal album: a great intro, a full and varied body, and a capstone that sums up the album as a whole. It's not exhaustingly long or overwrought with songs that were forced into it to meet a quota to make it an album vs. an EP, and it is interesting enough to keep listening to, allowing you to discover new features to savor as you plow through the tracks again and again.
