Does the band feel like part of the thrash metal revival of the past few years?
You certainly don’t have the gimmicky feel that some of those bands have. Absolutely not! We have been playing this type of music long before there was any type of ‘revival.’ When we first started out, there were a number of people who dug what we were doing, but the whole bounce metal thing was going on around then, and we just did not fit in with that type of crowd. It was very challenging to find bands to play with that shared our style. This forced us to play with groups that you wouldn’t normally see a thrash metal band playing with. In hindsight, this was probably the catalyst to expanding our fan base as we were exposing our brand of metal to people that would not normally go out to our type of show. We were very surprised to see some more thrashy bands such as Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium beginning to get major airplay in recent years, but we are definitely not trying to follow any sort of musical movement. We simply do what we do, and have never changed our sound to fit into
