2017 release, the ninth studio album from Spoken, "IX is full of songs about love, grace, confusion, and overcoming the obstacles we all face in life. This record has something to offer to anyone who enjoys music. There are songs with aggressive vocals, clean vocals, heavy guitar parts, melodic guitar parts, fast drums, feel drums, and everything in between". - Matt Baird. Spoken has shared the stage with a formidable list of industry heavyweights, including Volbeat, 10 Years, Demon Hunter, Brian "Head" Welch, and Red. Fans of the band are well-versed in the charisma of Baird, as well as the sonic devastation that emanates from his supporting cast, and their live prowess has played a huge role in sustaining their momentum over the years.
