The Mask She Wears Is One: Eyes Set To Kill Unveils First New Song

It seems easy for a band to get caught up emulating their idols and acting cool. Especially young bands whose members are young; kids are dumb and stubborn. Sdumbborn if u will. Really it’s best if their guiding principle is to remember that they know nothing and will someday disown the theories they formed at ages 18-28. Eyes Set To Kill singer/guitarist Alexia Rodriguez sounds like maybe she just snapped to this realization. Hence, the title Masks for their upcoming fifth album:

I felt like we were wearing a bunch of masks to impress people. At one point, I had a bit of a revelation. We have gone through so many changes over the years, but it wasn’t about anybody else. It was about us — we’ve really found the band’s face at this point. We aren’t wearing masks anymore.

Girl, I hear that! Butttt I guess my problem is that ES2K’s new jam is um generic metalcore like before. Like the masks they once wore are identical to their true faces. Or maybe for Rodriguez, not having a mask is a mask. It’s getting pretty deep in here!

Eyes Set To Kill’s Masks is out September 17 on Century Media. Pre-order here.
