I don't regret the decisions or direction I've chosen, but I feel it's important to be self aware.

As a writer, I never paid much attention to the length of titles. I've just wanted them to communicate the emotional overtones of the content of a record or song that they are describing

I've never been a fan of bands that go out and celebrate their age, I'd rather be celebrated for being relevant.

Everyday that passes I am pulled from youth as how it has been defined by that culture into something else.

What I've witnessed, managers are divisive and allow musicians to become clouded, irresponsible, and unaware of the world around them.

The relationship that people have with music is entirely different now. People spend much less time experiencing music on a one on one level than they could have if they were a part of a different generation. I find this ironic since we have so many tools at our finger tips to be engaged by media in all forms.

If anything, I feel that the current generation of listeners of heavy music are progressing a bit passed their gateway bands and are digging deeper than they used to and understanding more abrasive and complex music and art. It's like being around an unfamiliar language long enough that it eventually begins to make sense.
