We have been busting ass in the studio with Edsel from Dope producing and Chris Djuricic(studio one) enginering.The new songs are sounding amazing. we feel it is the most punishing stuff we have ever written. also we enlisted the one and only James Murphy (Testament, Death) of Safehouse production to mix and master this track, although only a snippet, we think you can get a good vibe of some fresh Metal!!!”
