Following a good response in the UK with their debut album “A Clear Perception”, last April The Eyes Of A Traitor started doing an European Tour as a support band for The Chariot and iwrestledabearonce. They surprised all people with their excellents and powerfuls live shows. After two months, they enter to studio for recording their new album, “Breathless,” which they want to confirm their offer in Europe and try it in the rest of the world. We have the pleasure to talk with the new bassist, Jack Moulsdale.

First, Are you surprised with the interest of an spanish webzine in you?

Yes, we are very suprised as the band has only played a handful of shows in Spain. And i have only played a couple as it was my first tour with the band a few months ago.

Your new album, “Breathless” will be out on July 12, recorded at Recording’s Outhouse Studios (Architects, Your Demise, You Me At Six), This place was your first option to record? Why this place and not another?

The reason we recorded at outhouse was because we knew “Breathless” had to have a certain sound and we knew John Mitchell and the guys could help us produce it how we wanted. We think they did!

What are the differences and similarities that we can find in the new songs in comparison to your previous LP “A Clear Perception”?

The difference between “Breathless” and “A Clear Perception” is the identification and ongoing evolution of the band. Obviously it is less metal-core but i think alot heavier and will be criticized for this but hopefully people will accept it for what it is and love it as much as we do.

You’re going to edit this in Japan via Doom Patrol Foundation. How do you think the japanese public will receive your new album? Are you excited about it?

As i’m new to the band i had no idea it was being released in Japan. I hope it will sell well, and it goes without saying we would be extatic to go over and tour Japan.

A few months ago, you toured with The Chariot and  Iwrestledabearonce. What about the experience? Is there much difference between playing in Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and do it in UK? I’ve always thought that the UK public support this kind of music more than here.

The Chariot and Iwrestledabearonce tour was incredible they will remain very good friends. And in all honesty there is a huge scene in Europe the response was as good and as active as if we were playing in the UK.

There are many bands and labels in Spain that put their music and new albums for free download. Is it the same situation in the UK?

Yes it happens here but not so much if you are on a label. You can do well, but its expensive so release a free record!

What opinion do you have about webzines? Are they an important part in the diffusion of your music?

Webzines are a great way of showing the world new music that a group of people genuinely care about and removing label politics etc.

The final question is obviously, will you come to Spain with this new album?

Yes! We cannot wait to come back to Spain and the rest of europe. You haven’t seen the last of us yet Spain!

Congratulations for the good work you do with your music. Thank you very much for your time.

Thanks alot for the support, and go buy “Breathless”!
