What happened in 2014 for Wovenwar? Plenty of things – a meteoric rise to a high position on the Billboard Top 200, currently a huge national tour supporting Periphery, and a fantasticly well-crafted self-titled album. I always wondered if vocalist Shane Blay ever felt any pressure joining up with the former members of As I Lay Dying – and I got to talk to him about it in our latest interview. We also talked about the wonder that is Thrice, and a host of other things. If you’re into the more melodic side of metalcore, their self-titled debut album is a serious statement – you’ll want to give it a few spins.
