EYES SET TO KILL Release Masks Behind-The-Scenes Studio Video
July 31, 2013, 10 years ago
Tempe, AZ rockers EYES SET TO KILL are set to release their fifth full-length album and first for Century Media Records.
In the time leading up to pre-production and the recording of Masks, Eyes Set To Kill decided instead of pandering or worrying about expectations, they would hunker down and demo two of their strongest new songs, the irresistibly 'True Colors' and 'Nothing Left to Say'. Both merged anthemic scope and jarring metallic elegance, making for some of the group's catchiest fare and as a result, they joined forces with Century Media Records for their fifth studio album.
"Those two songs served as a blueprint for the entire record," explains singer, songwriter, guitarist Alexia Rodriguez. "When we were writing, I didn't try to do what everybody else does. We didn't need to throw a ton of riffs into one song or get overly technical. I wanted to make music that was catchy."With that mindset, the group retreated to a Southern California studio with producer Steve Evetts. In the process, Alexia evolved immensely as the band's songwriter, and the band's patented sound expanded. For the first time, Cisko added staggering screams and vocals, building the harmonies and everything became amplified from the heaviness to the hooks.

Masks is set for release on September 17th in North America.
