Central Kentucky rock band XXI have announced their Tooth & Nail Records debut album Inside Out, set for release on September 18th.
Formerly known as A Feast for Kings, XXI announced their signing to Tooth & Nail but two months ago, and are off and running with their 10-song debut, produced by Andrew Baylis. “We have a more melodic sound than our past material,” explains the band. “We will most likely continue to grow in a rock direction as opposed to metal-core moving forward.”
Fans may remember the tragic passing of the band’s former lead singer Eric Gentry just over a year ago, which inspired the new name and direction (XXI – Gentry’s age was 21 at the time of his passing). With their recent signing and upcoming album in hand, the band will turn a new page and looks to have an eventful second half of 2015.
