Chiodos bespreekt nieuw album

Craig Owens, de frontman van Chiodos, heeft in een recent interview verteld hoe het ervoor staat met het nieuwe album van de band. Zo liet hij weten dat ze zich al in het tweede ‘schrijfstadium’ bevinden en hoe het album ongeveer gaat klinken; dit zal namelijk een combinatie van All’s Well That Ends Well en Bone Palace Ballet, twee van hun eerdere albums, worden. Hieronder kun je een fragment van bovengenoemd interview lezen.

You mention that the new record is going to be like a classic Chiodos record, but is it going to be that similar to the last record, Illuminaudio, since you weren’t a part of it? 
No, I don’t think it’s going to sound that much like Illuminaudio at all, I think it’s sounding a lot like All’s Well meets Bone Palace, way more than Illuminaudio. I can’t say that I’ve listened to that record too much, but I’ve heard some of it and I can say that it’s a mid-tempo record, and it’s not really my style.

You mentioned you’re still currently writing for the brand new Chiodos record. How far along are you in the writing process?
It’s been hard for me to say. But I’ve been saying we’re at our second stage, not that anyone knows what that means, even the guys in the band, but in my head it makes sense. In the first stage you kind of stumble through, writing new songs, not exactly up to your capability, but you keep writing and you get in the flow…kind of like going to the gym. It just takes time and a lot of effort when you’re writing songs. I think this is going to the most prepared record that Chiodos has ever done, I don’t think we’ve ever written as many songs or had this many ideas, at least while I’ve been a part of the band. The ideas are through the roof, from every member.
