Energy Journey are in no hurry to get again into the studio it will appear. The Texan crossover group formally reunited final yr with vocalist Seth Gilmore (Skourge/Fugitive) fronting the band rather than the late Riley Gale. In a brand new interview with Chaoszine, guitarist/vocalist Blake Ibanez confirmed that the band are extra centered on performing dwell and reconnecting with one another in that capability than including to their discography. Ibanez acknowledged of that:
“After all the pieces occurred in 2020, we have been searching for one thing to do. Me and [drummer Chris] Ulsh, we completed up some music we have been writing, the music we had written for the Energy Journey album. We went and recorded a bunch of stuff and simply sort of sat on it and we have been, like, ‘Possibly somebody will sing on this in the future.’ And it finally didn’t actually occur. However after that form of received shelved, that’s when all these things sort of occurred with Seth and us taking part in once more.”
He continued:
“Proper now, we’re simply having fun with being again on stage collectively. We performed 5 or 6 exhibits. Now we’re out right here [on a European tour] with Pantera, which we didn’t anticipate to tour or to get invited to do something like this. So to have the ability to be afforded a chance like this after not even with the ability to step on stage for years is wonderful. We’re very lucky. So, we’re simply attempting to get pleasure from being again collectively and taking part in once more. And who is aware of? I imply, I believe sooner or later clearly we’ll wanna return to all that stuff and possibly take into account doing one thing with it. However I believe proper now, we’ve simply been sort of approaching each step like, ‘How does this really feel? How does this really feel?’ And up to now all the pieces’s been good.
Every thing that we’ve executed has been step-by-step and never compelled. So, we took 4 years, mainly, to determine if we needed to play once more and till the precise scenario arose, we didn’t. And we wouldn’t have executed it if it wasn’t proper or if it didn’t really feel proper or if it wasn’t executed the precise approach in our eyes. So, we’re gonna apply that to all the pieces we do. So if we determine to work on new music and it sounds actually good and it really works and it looks like Energy Journey and all that, then possibly we’ll try this.
However we simply wanna do issues the precise approach and do it our approach. And I’ve confidence that we’ll make all of the these selections the precise approach. Once more, we’re not attempting to leap into one other part proper now. We’re attempting to play all of the songs that we wrote prior to now and honor what we did, clearly, with Riley, and proceed to play the songs. We missed taking part in these songs.
They’re nice. And we love what he did and all the pieces that we did in that that complete period. So we’re not working away from that anytime quickly. We’re simply attempting to get pleasure from taking part in the songs once more and fascinated by all of the recollections. After we’re collectively now, we simply discuss excursions we did, issues we did, humorous recollections and instances we had collectively. And we might try this for a very long time.”
