Projected “Ignite My Insanity” is the new sophomore release from the super-group comprised of Sevendust guitarist John Connolly, Alter Bridge/Creed drummer Scott Phillips, Sevendust bassist Vinnie Hornsby and Tremonti guitarist Eric “E-ROCK” Friedman and is the long awaited follow-up to their 2012 self-released debut album “Human”.
Ignite My Insanity features 21 all new tracks and is an album that's sure to resonate with fans from the band’s original projects and guaranteed to garner new fans along the way. From the infectious guitar riffs off disc one’s “Reload”, to the crushing finale of ”Battlestations” on disc two, Projected have created something truly special. Songs like “Rectify”, “Call Me The Devil” and “Vain” are stand-out testaments to John’s heavy riff writing capabilities, while more melodic songs like “10 Years Gone”, “Faith” and “Inside the Sun” bring you to a place of quiet reflection. Songs “Reload” and “Ignite” are sure to be instant fan favorites!
On the subject of Projected’s new record, John Connolly comments, “There are four very strong personalities in this band. Everyone has been in the business doing various things, from Tremonti to Alter Bridge to Creed to Sevendust and it took all those elements and sounds to make this album what it is!”
Guitarist Eric “E-Rock” Friedman comments, “When I think Projected, the first words that come to my mind is a very raw and honest band. Things aren’t overthought. It’s very organic.”
Scott Phillips adds, “We’re all part of other bands that we’ve put our heart and soul and life into and this was just a chance to extend that into somewhat of a different direction."
Says bassist Vinnie Hornsby, “We’ve been playing so long together, you know it’s kinda' like a marriage to a certain degree, it really warms my heart to be able to play with my friends and these great musicians.”
With thought provoking lyrics, heavy guitar riffs, rock-solid bass grooves and stand-out drumming, “Ignite My Insanity” delivers all the power and punch that one would expect from these high-level players! Official release date is July 21, 2017.
This album will hold me over till some new sevendust comes out
No leak?
Nothing yet. I just stumbled upon their first album not to long ago and loved it. Can’t wait for this one to drop
3rd single sounds good. Didn’t care for the 2nd one.
Reload and ignite were pretty damn good. Agreed on the second one. Didn’t care for either
Reload and ignite were pretty damn good. Agreed on the second one. Didn’t care for that one either
Hopefully it leaks tomorrow man. Can’t wait.
It’s only a matter of time now
If Human is any indicator. Ignite My Insanity will NOT disappoint .
I think we are the only people on this page waiting for a leak. Haha, but I agree with you on Human.
It really seems like it. And I just discovered this band a couple of months ago and now a second one to add to my library
It leaked. I can only listen after work. Let me know your review!
Downloading now.
where’s the leak?
I know a source. But can’t reveal it. Per this site won’t allow me to. But know this. It is out there.
To prove my claim track 1 strike and track 11 fire are both instrumentals
This is definitely a solid album for some well worth the 5 year wait for others who just discovered this band like me . A pleasant surprise . This band stands on it’s own from sevendust and the other band’s represented here. As a sevendust fan I definitely feel vibes.
What are your top songs? Listening now.
So far these. In no particular order
VAIN
RECTIFY
GOMORRAH
HEAVEN ABOVE
HATE YOU BACK
INSIDE THE SUN
CONCEDE
I’ve gone through the whole thing once.
Now on the second play.
Inside the sun is so good. Liking new CD. For a review, solid 8/10.
I’ve gone through it a couple of times. Some songs seem to blend into one and other. Some definitely sound like they could have been on a sevendust album in my opinion. The two instrumentals went on longer than they should. Overall it’s a good effort by them.
Kind of a letdown after 2 out of 3 singles.
I’ve gone through the whole thing a couple of times and If i had a chance to adjust the grade I would have probably scored it an 8.5/10. It was a good effort by them. I couldn’t really pick any favorites from this one. I still think Human was the better album. Several songs from Ignite sounded like they could have been on a sevendust album in my opinion. Some seemed to blend into one and other at times. But it 21 songs of insanity. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for the next album . Rumor has it they have materials for another one. But until then I’ll be anticipating the upcoming Adelitas Way Notorious and after that all new sevendust.
