We knew that we wanted to play heavy music but I hadn't gotten into melody and things like that.

That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends.

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

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.

Being a new band, I just can't think of a better way to get your name out to all of the Hard-Rock crowd than playing with twenty of the biggest Hard-Rock bands in the world.

I wanted to write some lyrics that had some meaning to them, lyrics that were meaningful to me and hopefully people can take something from that.
