Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal of Metal Assault recently conducted an interview with SPIRALARMS guitarist Craig Locicero (also of FORBIDDEN, ex-MANMADEGOD). You can now listen to the chat in the YouTube clip below.SPIRALARMS will release its second album, "Freedom", on October 22 via Steamhammer/SPV.The band rose from the ashes of millennial acts SYSTEMATIC, FORBIDDEN and MANMADE GOD. Friends since the age of 15, vocalist Tim Narducci (ex-SYSTEMATIC) and Locicero bonded over their love of heavy metal and hard rock music. Looking back at that time period, Craig said, "[We were] probably the youngest kids in the East Bay metal scene that were drinking beer out in the parking lot after seeing bands like TESTAMENT and EXODUS play."Although the two remained friends throughout the years, they both went their separate ways and started bands of their own. After years of playing with their respective groups, the two friends contacted each other and decided it was time to start playing music together again, and in 2004 SPIRALARMS was born."Freedom"'s down-to-earth and very dynamic production deserves a mention. The album oozes a liveliness, which many other bands tend to lose in the studio. "We always work at the studio as a full band," says Locicero. "The basic tracks of the new album were recorded in just about 16 hours, the rest was recorded by and by, but always in the same spirit. From the beginning, we never lost sight of our vision and that special flair which our new songs have.""Freedom" track listing:01. Dropping Like Flies02. Hold Me To The Sky03. Exit 6304.
