Swarm of Eyes Begin Writing For New Album
Little more than a year following the release of their debut, Swarm of Eyes has begun writing songs for a new album. The band’s first album, Designing the Dystopia, featured the songwriting talents of lead singer Randy Carter, guitarist Derrik Albertelli, and guitarist / producer George O’Connor. The as-yet-to-be-titled new album will include bassist Jeff Grossman and drummer Tommy Burke in the writing and recording process, as well.
“We have the basis for the first new song in two years. George put down some killer riffs into a rough demo with some programmed drums for us to all listen to, and we should be jamming on it over the next couple of weeks,” said vocalist Randy Carter.
It remains to be seen how soon SoE will incorporate their new song as part of their live repertoire. The band has been playing a steady stream of gigs throughout the New England area and plans to hit major cities along the East coast later this Fall. Check out the band’s Tour page to see where they are playing next or drop the band a line on Facebook to let them know you’d like to see them play your city!
Swarm of Eyes release split disc with Impressions In Flesh
Swarm of Eyes has released a five-song split disc via Humanemic Records with their friends and fellow New England metal marauders, Impressions In Flesh. The disc contains three songs from SOE’s debut, Designing the Dystopia, and two songs from Impressions In Flesh’s upcoming debut, Reclamation, due for release later in 2012.
Album art for the split disc was designed by MikeD of Killswitch Engage under his DarkicoN Design banner.
The five-song disc is available for sale on the SOE Merchandise page for the INSANELY LOW PRICE of TWO DOLLARS. That’s right. Two freakin’ dollars. With the cost of inflation these days, you can’t even get crispy chicken nuggets and a small order of fries for two dollars. What you can get for $2.00, however, are five face-melting songs that you can play over and over again
Track Listing:
Swarm of Eyes
1. Enter the Circle
2. Endless Ashes
3. Shadows at Dusk
Impressions in Flesh
1. These Dead Eyes
2. Next Mourning
