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!
In perusing Spoken’s press release, it states that the band’s latest and greatest release, Illusion, “is an exercise in aggression and calculated fragility. Laced with testosterone, the album throws down with the elite of metal and hardcore in calculated moments of heaviness. But what makes this record distinctive is not its speedy riffage or its pounding beats, but its emotional candor.”
It is good to see a band spend time and effort on a B-side collection, unlike most bands or record labels that push out these collections to either generate money for the label or buzz for an upcoming record, Kylesa have spent over a year going through their back catalogue to produce a wondrous accumulation of material that will satisfy die hard fans and new fans alike.
