Mainman Blake Judd said this about the new album: . Myspace. 2009-09-12. Retrieved 6 April 2010. The new material is reminiscent of Assassins with more of a rock and roll edge over all. Our love for post-rock and industrial (a la Ministry, Killing Joke, etc.) is even more present this time around. We're hoping to make a record that will continue to push extreme music into uncharted territories.
