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

I got really tired of metal music. How do you pick what's good to sell when you're not totally into what you're listening to and marketing?

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.

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

I took music theory in high school and dropped out halfway through the semester because it was ruining music for me.

Being an evil dude: You create this false identity of who you really are and hide behind that as a means to deal with your peers and to hide behind your social awkwardness and inabilities and inadequacies.

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.
