Having spent the last 12-months focusing on the writing and recording of their soon to be released sophomore album, Behind Crimson Eyes have managed to squeeze in national tours alongside rock and heavy greats; Disturbed, Bullet For My Valentine and Iron Maiden, as well as an East Coast run on the Big Day Out tour. The result is the light to A Revelation For Despair’s dark. A contrast. A realization that raw honesty does not always manifest itself in ‘despair’ and that exposing the bare bones sometimes turns up a ‘revelation’ of another sort: triumph through adversity. “This is a phrase we believe best describes our band.” Explains vocalist Josh Stuart. “Our new material is still as uncompromised as on A Revelation For Despair, but we feel that we have now reconnected with the reason we play music: fun. We realize that this was our childhood dream to play in a touring band and that as a byproduct we should be having as much fun as we can every day that we get to live this dream.” While ‘living the dream’ is certainly a more lighthearted philosophy for Behind Crimson Eyes, their music has lost none of it’s relevance in the translation. Addicted is the first hard-hitting single from the March 2009 release. A taste of what’s yet to come
