Staff writer Denny Dyroff of The Unionville Times recently posted an article on our homies Twiztid. Denny does a great job of quickly breaking down Twiztid’s history. Not only that, they also got an interview with the Multiple Man himself, Jamie Madrox.

Mr. Madrox speaks on the creation of their new album The Continuous Evilution of Life’s ?’s.

Formed in 1997, Twiztid is an 11-time Billboard chart-topping rap duo featuring Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child (a.k.a. Jamie Spaniolo and Paul Methric). The two former members of the group House of Krazees departed that group and formed Twiztid in 1997.

Now, 20 years later, the Twiztid guys are still going strong with more than 20 albums in their catalogue.

Madrox and Monoxide Child could be content to settle into the cycle of releasing an album, touring extensively in support of the disc and then starting the cycle all over again with a new album.

But, that’s never going to happen. That’s the “straight” way and Spaniolo and Methric do things the “Twiztid” way.

Twiztid will visit the area on February 11 for a convert at Reverb (1402 North Ninth Street, Reading, 610-743-3069, www.reverbconcerts.com). The show is part of the duo’s “Eat Your Heart Out” U.S. tour.

Back in October, Twiztid played a gig at the Troc in Philly as part of its “Spooktacular Horror Show” tour. On February 14, the pair will present Twiztid’s “Fourth Annual ‘Be My Bloody Valentine’ Show in Virginia Beach and then will embark on its “Freektasteless Show” tour.

Twiztid has its own record label and management company called Majik Ninja Entertainment and has just released its 12th album “The Continuous Evilution Of Life’s ?’s.”

“‘The Continuous Evilution Of Life’s ?’s’ came out just over a week ago and charted at Number 28 on the Billboard Top 200 charts,” said Madrox, during a phone interview Tuesday.

“We’ve been working our asses off – staying the course and keeping true to the cause. Right now, we’re in the middle of our ‘Eat Your Heart Out’ tour.

“We were recording the album all of last year. But, we stopped everything when it was time to go on the road. After the tours, it was re-getting familiar with the songs and getting back in the zone. It helped taking a break from the songs and then going back to them. We’re absolutely happy with how the record came out.”

“The Continuous Evilution Of Life’s ?’s” might just be Twiztid’s best album ever.

“The new album dropped on January 27,” said Madrox. “What I like about the new one – we didn’t have any boundaries. We did songs we like to do.

“It wasn’t about doing what was expected of anyone. We catered to ourselves and we had a great time in the studio. I feel this time around there is a nice blend of everything. There is something for everyone – even if they didn’t know they wanted it.

“It was taking shape for a year out. The writing was different. Usually, it was one of three ways – one, Monoxide and I would hear a beat and write it on the spot; two, we’d write separately; three, I’d write a song with no music and sing it to him. This time, we worked together more.”

“The Continuous Evilution Of Life’s?’s” features 12 all new tracks, primarily produced by longtime Twiztid producer Seven. However, the new album features four tracks with a clear hard rock influence — a crossover genre the duo has successfully dabbled in for over a decade. These tracks were produced by famed goth rock front man Davey Suicide and his keyboardist Needlz.

“There was a catalyst for us doing a few hard rock songs,” said Madrox. “Right around the time we made our ‘Freekshow’ album in 2000, was when rap rock started taking off.

“I like rock. Monoxide is more rap. Together, we’re like peanut butter and jelly. We were primarily introduced as a rap duo but we’ve become an entertainment duo. We’re doing shit that we want to do.”

The two long-time friends from the Motor City have also devoted a lot of time and energy to building Majik Ninja Entertainment.

“It’s been a really busy time – not only with the band thing but we’re also doing the record company thing,” said Madrox.

“We signed a shitload of new talent. We have some great young acts that are going to reshape the next 20 years of music. Most importantly, we make their drams become reality.”
