There is a lot more variety with this record. I think this record has a much different sound than the poor production we did with WF. This record is moodier and there is definitely more variation with this album. I liked WF but it was too much of...

It's never just another album, it's always the most evolved versions of ourselves that we can be at that moment. But we were trying to push stuff to as dark as they could possibly be, as heavy and as intense as it could be. Being young men in...
