“Diversity” is not a word you would use to describe heavy music today. But I Am Alpha and Omega’s new record “The Roar and the Whisper” is going to change that. Displaying a passionate conviction and songwriting ability that is all but gone in the genre, “The Roar and the Whisper” is a breath of fresh air. Working with producer Dave Swanson (ex-Life in Your Way, current-The Frozen Ocean) helped the band to focus and expand at the same time to create a vast record that take the best parts of the past while charging forward into uncharted terrority.

Vocalist, Donny Hardy, says, “For a long time our focus was building our live show and playing out as much and as far reaching as possible. This album is a culmination of our passion and dedication to this band for the last 3 ½ years. By far and away it is not only the best thing we’ve ever done, but a true representation of the band.”

About the new album, Hardy says, “The album name was the first thing that fell into place. We knew that spiritually, emotionally, and musically this album was going to be both roar and whisper, and spread itself across many genres. This album is so diverse musically, but I think there is a vein of reverant emotion and ferocity that runs through its entirety that creates a cohesiveness that is unmatched”.

Relying not on cliches but on well written songs to set them apart from the pack, I Am Alpha and Omega are destined for great things in 2010.

About the future of the band, Hardy says, “The world says we should be fitting a societal mold, but we all know our calling is to be playing music and be out on the road.”

“The Roar and the Whisper” is set to be released nationwide June 1st.
