When you're not putting a bunch of chemicals into everbody, people tend not to fly off the handle.

I don't think in time signatures, and when I do, what I write is generally 3/4 or 4/4, the most basic, straightforward stuff. I think that comes from just not being a super-schooled musician.

I think metal draws dumb people. It's not exactly a thinking man's genre.

My deepest apologies to all of our friends, fans and people who have worked on and supported us being a part of this festival, we are sorry for these awful circumstances and you can be certain this will not defeat us.

As convenient as that would be to make it easier to communicate with more prolific musicians, I don't want to think of music like a math equation.

The band has always been such a huge part of my life and it kept me very busy. That, in combination with something like running a record label, just means my whole life revolves completely around metal music and I can't do that anymore.
