Following is an excerpt from BW&BK;'s recent interview with vocalist/guitarist Morgan Lander about I've Failed You:

It’s a cliché for a press hack to say a metal artist’s latest album is his/her/their heaviest and/or most aggressive work to date. Depending on what you’re looking for you, can probably stamp I’ve Failed You with both, although Lander and her bandmates focused on improving on what they accomplished with In The Black instead of trying to crush it.

“In a lot of respects, while I think In The Black is sonically superior to everything we’ve done in the past, I think it was also very one dimensional,” Lander admits. “With this album we went into the studio with a lot of the same approaches, but we really tried to use different dynamics and different layers. We wanted to give it a more three dimensional feel vocally and guitar-wise, so that you’d get the full experience hearing little things here and there when you put on the headphones; interesting things that you pick up on even though you’re not quite sure what it is. I can’t really say I’ve Failed You is a heavier album than In The Black, because for us it’s hard to go heavier without becoming a death metal band (laughs).”
