History ::
There is a natural growth and progression when bands approach their sophomore albums. For The Crimson Armada, they were free from label pressures and thus able to work and develop themselves as a band with no obstacles or expectations. “I feel that almost every band’s first album is a sort of compilation, made up of tracks they’ve written throughout the entire time they’ve been a band,” says lead vocalist Saud Ahmed. “With this album [Conviction], we had a lot of opportunity to contemplate different ideas before recording.” Writing for the love of music and not with the intent of creating an album, Ahmed, the band’s main songwriter, wrote the 11 tracks that comprise Conviction over a year long span. “I had the ability to write a song, sit on it for a few months, have the guys from the band give their input, and go back and revise it without being on a deadline.” This gave Ahmed the chance to truly write with passion, something he wanted to come across as very apparent. “I didn’t want people to feel like they were listening to the same track 11 times,” he explains. “I wanted to make this album an enjoyable listening experience that gives people a rollercoaster kind of effect – some tracks are extremely exciting and others are a little more chill and relaxed.”
