How is it being on Metal Blade Records alongside some truly legendary bands?
Truly a dream come true, we love being a part of the metal blade family. They are very supportive and have really gone to bat for us a number of times.

What is your favorite aspect of touring?
Meeting fans. It’s like meeting family for the first time. The best is when you’ve met fans through social networking and then see them on tour, it’s like hanging with old friends even thought you’ve actually just met them in person.

What are your plans for the near future? Any big shows or albums in the works?
Right now we’re in pre-production for the follow up to Fragments of Form and Function. We’re really excited about it, should be out next summer.

Can you name some of your major influences?
Sure Marty Friedman, Per Nilson, John Petrucci, gonna have to throw Jeff Loomis in there for good measure, and my band mates, they are very influential.

Any advice for aspiring musicians out there?
Practice your ass off, and be happy with the music you make. As long as you are happy with your music, and playing it nothing else matters.

If you could tour with any bands, who would be on your dream tour?
Oh man… MEGADETH, BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, CARCASS, SCAR SYMMETRY, and OVERKILL! I’d sign my life away for that tour!
