Spun: Illuminaudio

By Nick Beaver

With Illuminaudio comes evolution– Chiodos are out with the old and very much in with the new. The band’s new lineup looks significantly different than it did about this time last year and so it was inevitable that their sound would change.



What certainly could not be predicted was the direction the band’s evolution would take. The band’s debut studio album, All’s Well That Ends Well, introduced the post-hardcore world to Chiodos’ utterly sporadic style that so many fans now know and love. The success of the band’s so-called “difficult second album,” Bone Palace Ballet, showed the post-hardcore world that Chiodos, were decidely not finding things difficult.



With Illuminaudio, the post-hardcore world is finally given the record Chiodos here been promising. Chiodos have found the perfect equilibrium between the perhaps unintentional but quite genius song structures and unreserved quirky key changes showcased in All’s Well That Ends Well and the raw ambition and far-reaching aspiration so evident in Bone Palace Ballet.



Given the sheer magnitude of Illuminaudio, why Chiodos are supporting Atreyu on a Canada-wide tour and not on a headlining tour of their own baffles the mind.

  1. First of all I want to say fantastic blog!
    I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if
    you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Many thanks!

  2. Hi outstanding blog! Does running a blog like this take a large amount of work?
    I have no understanding of coding but I had been hoping to start my
    own blog in the near future. Anyways, if you have any suggestions or techniques for new blog
    owners please share. I understand this is off topic but I simply needed to ask.
    Appreciate it!

  3. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your weblog.

    You have some really great posts and I believe I would be a good asset.
    If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really
