In anticipation of the release of the follow up to their 2006 debut - A Revelation For Despair - Behind Crimson Eyes are hitting the road for themselves once again. This time in aid of Addicted, the first of many new tracks from the upcoming release.

In the process of writing for the new album they uncovered a few truths about themselves.

The result is the light to A Revelation For Despair’s dark. A contrast. A realization that raw honesty does not always manifest itself in ‘despair’ and that exposing the bare bones sometimes turns up a ‘revelation’ of another sort: triumph through adversity.

“This is a phrase we believe best describes our band.” Explains vocalist Josh Stuart. “Our new material is still as uncompromised as on A Revelation For Despair, but we feel that we have now reconnected with the reason we play music: fun. We realize that this was our childhood dream to play in a touring band and that as a byproduct we should be having as much fun as we can every day that we get to live this dream.”

While ‘living the dream’ is certainly a more lighthearted philosophy for Behind Crimson Eyes, their music has lost none of it’s relevance in the translation. Addicted is the first hard-hitting single from the March 2009 release. A taste of what’s yet to come… See them belt it out live as Behind Crimson Eye set out on a National headline tour through out November.

Addicted will be available from iTunes from Saturday 8 November. You can listen to the track now at www.myspace.com/behindcrimsoneyes or www.roaodrunnerrecords.com.au Catch Behind Crimson Eyes live as they tour the country throughout November!
