Interview with Eyes of Torment

Eyes of Torment Interview

All questions answered by Will (vocals) on behalf of the band

What is the origin of Eyes of Torment? (origin of the name, how the band started, how long have you been a band)

"Well unfortunately the origin of our name is kind of a lame story, our drummer came up with it when we started and we just thought it sounded cool lol. As far as a time frame we started doing this about 2 ½ to 3 years ago with Myself, Ben and Spidy and it’s grown from there. We have had a few member changes over this time but the line up we have now seems to be working great and I don’t see any reason for a change in members anytime soon."

What are some of your musical influences?

"God lol, this list is endless. I can remember the first metal i ever listened to was Metallica and Iron Maiden in the car with my Dad when I was 5, that alone spun me into an endless pit of metal of all genres that hasn't stopped to this day. I guess if i had to name a few artist that have really influenced the style and structure of Eyes of Torment though a few stand out. The Black Dahlia Murder, The Faceless, Whitechapel, and Within the Ruins are probably the big ones. All of these bands in some way influence every member of our band. Like i said before, the list is endless, and our style has really developed into its own thing. But we can never forget where our roots come from. We always tell people if they like it they like it and who cares otherwise :)"

What band(s) do you want to share the stage with in the future?

"We have been lucky enough in our time with this band to share the stage with some of our favorite metal bands, local and national alike. We really just hope to continue doing this and take everything as far and as big as we possibly can."

Can you give any details on the new album? (release date, name, overall theme)

"Yes, the new album is going to be called “The Inevitable Collapse of Earthly Consummation” (basically meaning all good things end) and it’s about the fall and aftermath of mankind in the event of the apocalypse. Release date is still up in the air because we are trying to make this album perfect from start to finish for all of our fans. We are constantly release studio updates and hopefully will have everything done within the month!"
