"Intervals" (Aaron Marshall stands alone)

[lewstherin006]

So what was the aftermath after the whole shenanigans that went down after The Voice Within was released? It looked like things got messy when Anup and Mike left, is it just back to being Aarons solo project now? The new song is nice and all but it feels like Aaron came across as a bit of a control freak/dick back then.

Yea aaron is solo now. Anup and lukas wanted to keep a vocalist and aaron didnt, so he fired them. Anup in now in monuments, dunno what happened lukas. Honestly this is the best thing for Intervals as a band, even though some fans didnt like how everything went down. Aaron will sell a lot of records and have tons of students.

Yeah, I think coupled with health concerns (he had heart surgery late last year/ earlier this year) and seeing his band that he created go in a direction that he didn't want it to go to (let's face it, a voice within's guitar work was pretty toned down compared to epiphany in order to accommodate the vocals) that he had to make changes and assert why he was doing so, making it seem like he was being a little harsh about it.

Aaron personally told me that Intervals is probably on it's final run, and any releases from him here on out will probably be under his name and not Intervals. End of an era.

That's a shame to hear. I didn't know anything about the drama with this band but A Voice Within was amazing and I spin it a lot. Not so much the older stuff.

I agree with you, A Voice Within was an amazing album, and it does suck, but train gotta keep on chugging....

IF he wants to kill the intervals name, why not just make Intervals the band with vocals and just release instrumental stuff under his name? I have been saying that for a while.

Maybe because he never wanted vocals to begin with? I'm not too sure honestly and I'm not saying that in a sarcastic way either. I'm betting that it was the "bands" decision to let Mike do vocals and not Aaron's decision. Probably a "been there, done that" scenario.

He was always open to vocals because in his very first EP it came with a note saying they were thinking about trying out vocalist and to email him if you wanted to try out. I think he wanted vocals, but it just didnt go how he wanted it to go.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I think there's a lot of assumption going on here, maybe this wasn't left completely out in the open for people to know the full story for a reason?

I personally don't care for the drama and personal stuff going on, but the music is fantastic and all I honestly cared about going into this band.

the new album rules

 

[QuantumCybin]

If Plini says it, it's true. I enjoyed AVW but I definitely preferred the instrumental stuff. The new track is awesome, the main riff with those natural harmonics is just sweet.

 

[Guamskyy]

So Aaron has the whole album streaming on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuj-WzKNCr7-QfPCi5VEkvFErx2oCwxof

I think it is a damn solid album! Definitely a lot of catchy parts, so far my favorites are I'm Awake, Sure Shot, Sweet Tooth, & Slight of Hand.

 

[Thorerges]

I listen to this and immediately think how much better it would be with a vocalist.

 

[anomynous]

I listen to this and immediately think how much it sounds like Polyphia. Kinda disappointed.

 

[Lemons]

New album is tops

 

[Khoi]

Love all of it. Libra especially, so groovy and tasty!

Aaron really shows he doesn't need a vocalist, I can't think of any other modern guitarist who can make the guitar sing like he does. His note choice is perfect.

 

[Flemmigan]

Based on the stream, I think Aaron should've renamed the band Sithu Ayentervals.
I enjoyed the album, it just sounds nothing like what I've come to know from Intervals. Makes me a little bit bummed. But it is a good "happy prog metal" album.

 

[schwiz]

The new album is ridiculously good but it will never be In Time.

 

[Jonathan20022]

^ I don't think that was ever the goal

 

[schwiz]

Oh for sure. But in my opinion, that album resonates more to me personally, than the new album. Personal preference.
