What we said to ourselves and to each other was that we had to write this new record as if it were the soundtrack to the end of the world. A piece of music that not only overwhelms but also taps into the deepest emotions of its players and listeners. "Everyday Atrocity" was our way of putting the mirror in front of society. This time we're putting the mirror in front of ourselves and opening emotions and skeletons that have been pent up and that need to be released.

It's been a year to the date since our last record was released. It has also been the longest year of our lives. Not only did we tour consistently, meet and make new friends with great bands and fans, but we also inked a deal with TVT Records A label who not only introduced great bands like Nine Inch Nails and Sevendust to the world, but who also has the most kick-ass A&R guy named Sean Roberts. Who himself, Michelle Oakes and our great managers Walter O'Brien and Kim Zide patiently and brutally pursued this deal for ten long months.

Which brings us back to the longest year of our lives part. I can sum it up in one word.....DRAMA. With drama comes frustration, tension, stress, insomnia and loss of appetite. All of which can kill creativity but in our case has only fueled our fire for world domination. But when all was said and done, we knew what it meant to sell your soul for rock'n'roll.

And now here we are.....writing and rehearsing in the ghettos of Baltimore getting ready to record the album of our lives. We've been at it for one month and so far we have finished five new songs. Five songs that completely rip shit up!!!! We still have two months to finish writing,and whether these songs make it on the record remains to be seen, but we're definitely happy with the way our music is taking shape. One thing i love about our band is that we unknowingly evolve and re-invent ourselves. Not necessarily change but grow and mature. We're reaching to create the heaviest, darkest, deepest and most emotional record we can. In a way i think this record will be a way of giving ourselves therapy and finally bringing closure to a time that was indeed helpful but also internally damaging. Like we said to ourselves....we have to write this record as if it were the soundtrack to the end of the world. Now that will be cool!!!!
