Being on Ozzfest has been a great way for us to break out and show metal fans that we have a heavy side.

Lyrically we tried to just not be the same as a lot of the other crap that is out there right now.

A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.

We really try to make sure that the band writes the songs, not just one person.

We just wanted to get as far away from the rap-rock scene as possible, because its been done and other bands do it better than us anyway.

So you have to just be really careful and make sure that when a deal comes along, that it's like the right deal for you... not necessarily the most money, because you have to pay the record label that back in like record sales and stuff.

Musicians don't respect a lot of the stuff that is on TRL and a lot of musicians think that stuff on the radio is not good musically so when musicians say that they like us it obviously feels good.
