How did you guys come to apply that to your title? Metal Exiles: The title, Suffer Overcome And Recover. If it is good art there is going to be some kind of fear, some kind of risk, anger, all of it combined. We also do not have a choice in it but to carry on with our music so if we are intimidated or not we create our music and move forward. When it comes to radio, it is a wonderful platform for us to reach as many people as possible with our messages, like the triumphs over the tragedies that you have in your life. Joey: Yes, Blake and I are very analytical on the highest level especially with the final product from Devour The Day as it is our baby. Considering the radio success you had with the last album was there any intimidation when you were laying the groundwork for this one? The album is great, the songs have an ethereal vibe to them and they all seem to fall into one another. This goes into every genre of music, you have had to relearn the way you do things with your albums and at the end of the day even if we did not make any money from it we would still be out here. Joey: The budgets have changed, the money isn’t the same anymore. Metal Exiles: Back in the day bands were given the time they needed to write and record an album but now its rush and get it out. If we were rushed it would not have been the same record. They did not put us into the short recording window that some bands get slammed into and we needed that. They have followed up on everything they said they would do and for them to give Blake and I the time to make the record happen and let the songs evolve fit into what we were feeling was great. Joey: The truth is is that they were very supportive of us from the beginning up to the time to drop it. Metal Exiles: You have the support of your label, good album and single sales and really popular at radio so how excited was R&T to get you and put you out? With that and now Devour The Day it is adapting to the current culture of rock and roll which is different but equally as beautiful because we still have our diehards with us. Joey: I think everything, the entire terrain of a band coming up. What have you guys learned with this band that maybe you did not do for Egypt Central? Metal Exiles: Tell me about the last three years on the road. This is a culmination of so many dreams coming true for us. We were not going to put it out until we were ready and we are very much ready now. We are happy that Razor & Tie supported us as much as they did and allowed us to work on it as long as we liked. Blake and I started the writing process in april of 2015 and we are finally here. Joey Chicago: We are very excited to have S.O.A.R out. Metal Exiles: The last album came out over 3 years ago so how does it feel to be out on that next tour and finally dropping album # 2? they have one more reason to stay on the road and you have one more record you Need to buy.Īn interview with Joey “Chicago” Walser of Devour The Day Even though they never dropped out sight due to being road junkies but that did not mean they weren’t working hard on some new stuff to provide to your ears. It has been a few years since Devour The Day dropped some new music on us but the wait is over and we finally have S.O.A.R., possibly one of the best rock albums you are going to hear this year.
