I'm so excited for the album to finally be out ! I think everyone can expect some serious bangers that just rip by ! This album is as if you put a mic down in a sweaty basement show where we rip 33 minutes of new jams to a packed room of party animals just feeding off of sonic destruction.

I think it was just a natural progression of the band. We'll always keep things heavy and gnarly, even when we try and write more melodic and different songs like Satellites and it still comes off as a heavy punk song haha I also think that Ross brought a lot of that out of us while in the studio, really pushing us to tap into every raw emotion connected to every song.  A lot of the songs came from some very dark places, and Ross's goal is to capture all of that on the record.

We had just signed to a new label for this album and they were so supportive of everything we wanted to do.  From taking time off before writing and then taking almost 6 months to writing the new album and even wanting to go to California to record with Ross, they were with us the whole way. It was amazing to finaly be working with someone who would be that supportive.

We had just heard that he was working with bands again and was stoked to work on something really heavy. So I got his phone number and gave him a call and with in 10 minutes we were hanging out and talking about all the same ideas of what we wanted to do with this album. I went back into band practice and told the rest of the band "Ross is the best and we're totally going to record with him" Then fast forward and were in Venice Beach hanging out with the best dude ever!

I think people always get surprised when we tell them what we listen to haha I listened to that new Beck album a ton while writing this record. I found that album really inspiring as someone who can never be categorized for what he should or shouldn't be in the music industry. We've been listening to the new Budo's Band "Burnt Offerings" I find listening to different styles of music just opens up new ideas and approaches to song writing that we then apply to metal and punk.

There's a bunch of songs I cant wait to try out live. The one I'm maybe most excited for is BUDS we've been jamming that in the last few days and its going to be such a BANGER live!!!

The only craziness that we have lined up so far is our 1 off show were flying to Japan for tomorrow. We haven't been to Japan in 5 years and we just got this opportunity to go and play 1 show in Tokyo but since its so close to the record release we're only going for the 1 day and then flying home. We'll spend more time in the air than we will in Japan hahaha we're always up for madness so I'm sure crazy things will come up again like the Pentagram tour.

We love touring in Europe. There's so many amazing cities to play and rad people who come out to the shows. You guys have such an amazing scene and we feel very lucky to be a part of.

I think Bat Sabbath will always be around and looking to make an appearance here and there. I think we might even play a few Sabbath songs when we go to Japan next week.  For us its tons of fun to do and always ends up being a total party, so i think we'll always keep it around. I couldn't see us ever not wanting to have fun.

Sounds like Mr Bastard is quoting Inspecta Deck and trying to bring the ruckus bring the mother fucking ruckus bring the mother fucking ruckus. All i can say to that is "so bring it on, bring it on, bring it on……….."
