INTERVIEW WITH
Lets start off by talking about new music? Your latest album was release back in December of 2013 Titled "Reborn", Is there any new music in the works for TRAPT?
It was initially released January 2013. We are currently running a huge pre order for our new album titled "DNA" with Indie Gogo, where our fans can literally hear the music we are making as we make it. It's all part of the pre order experiences we are offering our fans. Fans will have access to "The Listening Room" and hear individual guitar, bass, drum and other music making instruments, along with lyrics, vocals, different mixes of songs, etc. There will also be a package that includes the new album "DNA" and our first ever acoustic album "The Acoustic Collection" along with awesome tour and merch perks of course! Here is the link to the campaign. http://igg.me/at/traptbackers There's a bunch that is going on that we've never done before, so we're really excited about it.
What inspired your lyrics, when writing new music for this new album?
Well the inspiration is ongoing, I'm always writing lyrics and life experience is where I draw most of it. I like my lyrics to be about real things that have happened, so I keep on the lookout for inspiration as much as I can.
What is the recording, Producing, & writing process like when creating a new album? & what stage is this new album at in that process?
The first stage for writing a new album is experimenting as much as possible and picking out the best of what you come up with. That is the inspiration well that you start with, from there, ideas get picked apart and put back together again. Once a song is structured, lyrics come from the feel of the music. So once I have a full song to work with, I just keep listening until something comes to me or I remember a good lyric idea that would fit that particular song.
