Today is the release date of RED’s new album, Of Beauty and Grace and it really is one amazing work of art. Their music brings such imagery to life and each song creates a new scene for you to delve into. The levels of intensity and passion are raised with this album and you can’t help feel a deep connection with each song. Vocalist Michael explains about the album and what it is about,
“about suffering and finding the beauty in that. No one in this world likes to suffer, myself included, but we only become the strong individuals we are today from the trials and hardships we faced in the past. I remember meeting a teenager on Winter Jam 2013 who had terminal cancer. He wanted to meet us because we were his favorite band. In a sense, you might consider this a tragedy since his life was going to be taken away from him at such an early age. What I saw was beauty in the way that he handled his illness. The teen was full of hope and spirit, and even in his last days he was encouraging others and wanting to give of himself to make a difference in this world. To me that is a testament of the Beauty that can be found in the Rage of life.”
RED have premiered a video for their song Darkest Part on Loudwire. You can check it out here: http://loudwire.com/red-darkest-part-exclusive-video-premiere/ . The video will bring the whole storyline together as it picks up from Release The Panic and Feed The Machine. They did a superb job and it is great to see the story unfold. This album will definitely be a contender for Album of the Year as RED dominates 2015. Michael comments,
“2015 will be a building year for us. I am feeling very confident in the music and hope the emotions in the songs will be realized and connect well with our audience and new listeners. My hopes for beyond would be that we would be able to show this record, in live set design, to its full capacity. We would love to maximize the world that we have created between the music, graphic novel, and bring it to the live stage. We want to put on a show that is unexpected and people will be talking about for years to come.” Randy offers, “My hopes for 2015 and beyond are just to continue to make music that people will appreciate their whole life – music we can always be proud of because we were real.”
