Separations sign to Imagen Records

Standing out from the pack isn’t always easy. However, it’s essential for some. From the beginning, Separations desire was to blaze their own trail. The Atlanta quintet strikes a delicate balance between energetic heaviness and melodic hypnosis on its full-length debut album for Imagen Records, Dream Eater, out in early 2014.

Separations is comprised of –Will Crafton- Vocals, Brad Wagner- Guitar/Vocals, Kevin Nordeste-drums, Seth VanDusen- bass/vocals and Jonathan Roach- guitar/vocals.

In 2013, Will, alongside high school friends and band mates Brad and Kevin, possessed a desire to step outside the box and embrace their inherently heavy tendencies and that’s when Separations came to life.

“Separations came from us separating from our old band and returning to our roots,” admits Will. “The name was something we all agreed on instinctually, at the same time. In the literal sense, sometimes you need to separate yourself from the things that keep you grounded and are comfortable in order to succeed. That was the main message we wanted to convey.”

It comes through loud and clear via their distinctive sound. Merging soaring hooks, snapping guitars, and electronic murmurs, it crushes just as soon as it captivates. Working alongside producer James Paul Wisner [Underoath], the band captured those dynamics in the studio and this energy resonates from song to song remaining ever present on the first single and title track Dream Eater.

“The concept was initially a little cryptic,” explains Will “The idea is you work so hard for something just to have it taken away. There’s that inner battle in the human mind like, ‘Am I good enough?’

Everyone has a light and dark side. The doubt manifests in the form of this creature we’ll refer to as the ‘Dream Eater’. The protagonist and the monster are embroiled in this battle we all go through.”

The group manages to tap into that same power on stage. Each show remains unpredictable, making for an unforgettable experience every time these five musicians hit the stage.

“As long as we form a connection with anyone listening to the music then we’re accomplishing what we set out to do,” concludes Will.

The time is coming to unite with Separations.
