Whether you like another bands music or not you never know who is going to take you out on tour or who you are going to be friends with and that is just something that is important to us.

You have to make sure that your assets and your back is protected before you make any big decisions.

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

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

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

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.

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.
