Rockin female fronted act IGNESCENT has gone on to release some singles, a couple of EP's as well as an album, with all new music in the works due out soon enough! With he band to be playing some shows and even touring come the summer! The band talks of these matters below just with us!
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?
I was looking in the dictionary and came to the I's. I saw the word Ignescent means to spark and ignite and thought that was the perfect word for what I wanted our band to be about. To ignite people with our music and message.
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
I love bands like Flyleaf, Skillet, Evanescence and the energy of Rock music and love performing it on stage.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
No. We didn't.
4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are based out of the Chicago area. Metal is pretty big here and cover bands. 4th Point is a good band.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
I write songs out of what I have or am experiencing and my struggle with anxiety and depression.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
"You're Not Alone" is about losing someone and dealing with anxiety and depression. I wrote it to encourage others that they are not going through these struggles and this life alone.
"Monster You Made" is about someone who deeply hurt me by betraying me and in a sense brought out the monster in me.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
Yes. Sometimes I come up with a melody first and then the band comes up with music around it. Or sometimes I will write a melody and lyrics to the music. I also co-write with Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe of the band, New Years Day, Sameer Bhattacharya of Flyleaf, and Ben Kasica formerly of Skillet.
8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We released an album, 2 EPs, and some singles. We will be releasing another 2nd album this summer. You can expect high energy music that has deep and real emotions.
9. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes. We have a remake of a song we did that will be coming out through Frontiers Records and a new album out this summer.
10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
Yes. We will be at Rock Fest and Immortal Fest this summer and our tour starts at the end of July.
11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
We have plans to release new music that should be out this summer.
