VIRTUAL HERO SOCIETY (DIGIPAK)

2018 release from the international melodic hard rock sensation consisting of Bob Katsionis (Firewind) and NYC-based singer Chandler Mogel. This is their first full-length since 2014 s Let s Get Serious and their second release on ROAR the first being Destination: Overdrive. Outloud abandons their general quot;playfulquot; approach and goes toward deeper subject matter tackling what could be called the quot;double-edged swordquot; of technology in today s society as evidenced by the album cover. Chandler Mogel the American lead singer of the band comments on the albums concept: quot;I know that Outloud of course is known for all our good time rock and roll and party vibe and all that however this is a very important subject that needs to be addressed to the masses. Cell phones and social media in general are very convenient and allow us to communicate to a broader audience however they have some negative aspects which stem from misuse that not all people may realize. We hope to do some good for the society at large by giving back an important message in that we really want people not to abuse them nor do we want people to lose their humanity for one another because they are so quot;zoned outquot; by their phone screens etc. Take the time to reach out and touch someone - for real.quot;.
