Seeking Truth Through Music With BLVD OF EYES

Seeking Truth Through Music With BLVD OF EYES

The metal Gods work in mysterious ways.
In early 2021, fate brought Chloe Trujillo and Mark Dalbeth together at the Global Green Charity Event in LA's Troubadour. Bonding over their shared passion for music, they decided to collaborate after connecting online.
Their brainchild, Lightning Strikes Twice, garnered strong feedback, fuelling their excitement for future projects .The pairs debut EP, HEAVY PEACE, dropped in 2022, amplifying their presence in the music scene. Eager to keep the momentum going, they returned to the studio, enlisting Ray Luzier (Korn) on drums for their second record.
Transitioning from studio to stage, they assembled a formidable live band, featuring local guitarist Kevin Hicklin and Chloe's daughter, Lullah Trujillo, on drums, wasting no time in hitting the stage in early 2024 and captivating audiences, steadily building momentum with each electrifying performance.
Last month, under the new monicker Blvd Of Eyes, the band released their second EP, Buying Lies For The Truth Seeker, expanding their existing sound into a swirling maelstrom of metal-infused rock that traverses the usual boundaries of acceptance into a sound definitively their own.
Mark, Chloe and Kevin joined HEAVY recently to talk more about the EP.
"It's been really good," Mark enthused at the early response. "It just came out last month, so the response has been good. We have just released one single so far, so we will probably release a couple more videos. It's a great record. We were lucky to have Ray Luzier (Korn) drum on it, which was badass. Everything so far has been good. We're just setting up for some shows next year, and we will really push it more then."
We ask about the musical side of Buying Lies For The Truth Seeker.
"It's got a hard rock sound," he measured, "with heavy guitars and big melodies and hooks. It's similar to the first EP, but probably a little bit more developed songwriting from us because we have been working together a bit more. It's another step up from the EP but still that hard rock with a little bit of metal, some melodic stuff and some really nice harmonies."
In the full interview, the band talk more about Buying Lies For The Truth Seeker, including the musical direction of the songs and the meaning behind the ambiguous title. They discuss how it differs from their 2022 debut Heavy Peace, and how the band have grown in the period between EPs.
We talk about the different genres that make up their music and finding the balance between genres in the creative process, and run through each of the five songs individually to get to the core of their content. The band talk about their formative years and creating a sustainable project, as well as future touring plans and more.

Living In A Perfect World With STEVE TULIPANA From SEASON TO RISK

Living In A Perfect World With STEVE TULIPANA From SEASON TO RISK

In 1994, Season to Risk had been on tour for the past four years, playing as a young opening band on legendary shows with Killdozer, Unsane, Neurosis, Prong and Killing Joke. Their first album had sold well, with songs charting on radio and getting music video airtime on MTV and Canada's Much Music. There was an opportunity to take advantage of the popular wave of alt rock and nu metal dominating the air waves and being signed unexpectedly to major label Columbia Records put them in the position that they had amazing support as artists, but also someone to answer to and the machine must be fed.The band decided instead to work with Martin Bisi (producer of Sonic Youth, Foetus, Swans, Cop Shoot Cop) and use their major label money to deliver a punishing post hardcore masterpiece of crushing noise rock, In A Perfect World. The album has become a cult classic and over the course of the past 30 years, some of the songs off In A Perfect World became mainstays in live shows.And now, Season To Risk have decided the time is right to revisit that timeless album, having In A Perfect World remastered by Duane Trower (Weights & Measures Soundlab), creating a reissue that gains new clarity without losing its raw urgency. Released on Record Store Day in the United States, In A Perfect World has been rejigged to embrace the modern sound, with Season To Risk using the experience to harness their focus and energy into live shows and a new record.Singer Steve Tulipana joined HEAVY to take us behind the scenes. We start by asking if the nerves are any different, releasing the same album three decades later."I mean, it's weird," he smiled, "It's 30 years old, which is kind of a trip obviously for us. To think about how much time has passed… It doesn't feel like 30 years ago by any means, which is over half my life. I'm more nervous because we have some US dates we're going to start. It's a pretty gruelling little run of shows we're doing, and we haven't done that in many, many years. So that's got me nervous, more than the record coming out".Going into In A Perfect World back in 1994, Season To Risk had just finished four years on the road and were understandably more than a little jaded. We ask Steve if this had any effect on the finished product."Yes, I do think we were (jaded)," he nodded. "So a lot of the material from the first record - and it's a cleaner record for sure - we were young, and it was our first material that you take a bunch of years to write. Then you get signed, and then it was delayed forever. We were always trying to challenge ourselves, and we were wanting to be more… it's not like it was incredibly conscious. I mean, we didn't want to sell out, but we were trying to find this heavy thing. We had some road on us, and we had some life experience on us at that point so it was darker and things were a little more fucked up. To be candid, I was a little more fucked up in my head, but that's the experience you go through, right?"In the full interview, Steve focused on the reissue of In A Perfect World, reflecting on the surreal nature of the album's 30-year anniversary. The remastering process was highlighted, with improvements made by guitarist Duane Trower being explained, although digital rights for a remastered version have not been granted by Sony, leaving fans without a digital option for now.The conversation also explored the band's artistic evolution, with Steve discussing their maturation and the incorporation of new elements like synthesizers in their upcoming material. The importance of clarity in lyrics while maintaining a unique sound was emphasized. We spoke about the release of a new album, with the aim for completion by the first quarter of the next year.Steve discussed the natural evolution of Season To Risk and how it has impacted their music and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Bringing The Discovery Down Under With CAMERON LOSCH From BORN OF OSIRIS

Bringing The Discovery Down Under With CAMERON LOSCH From BORN OF OSIRIS

Interview by Angela CroudaceAfter years of anticipation, Born of Osiris are finally set to return to Australia this coming March and for drummer Cameron Losch, the excitement is doubled. While the band last toured the country six years ago, Cameron himself hasn’t performed on Australian soil for roughly a decade due to an injury during their previous run. “I am just so excited. It’s been way too long,” he says, reflecting on how much he loved every visit in the past.Some of his clearest memories include being pranked about “drop bears” moments after landing, and wandering through bushland stunned by wild kangaroos an experience far removed from his Midwest home. This time, he’s hoping for more of those uniquely Australian moments, plus a chance to reconnect with fans face-to-face, something he’s grown to treasure deeply on recent tours.Australia will also be among the first to witness a major milestone: the 15-year anniversary celebration of The Discovery. The band is performing eight tracks from the beloved album, reworked with fresh flair. Cameron promises surprises, intensity, and some of the most challenging drumming of his career.Sharing the bill with the crushing Signs of the Swarm, Born of Osiris’ March run is shaping up to be an unmissable blend of nostalgia, evolution, and explosive energy. Australia, get ready, they’re coming back stronger than ever.BORN OF OSIRIS and SIGNS OF THE SWARM 2026 Australian Tour DatesWednesday 18th March ADELAIDE, Lion Arts FactoryThursday 19th March MELBOURNE, Max WattsFriday 20th March BRISBANE, Brightside OutdoorsSaturday 21st March SYDNEY, Manning BarTickets From: https://thephoenix.au/born-of-osiris-2026/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
