Mark: Hi, Chris, it’s Mark from The Rockpit in Australia.

Mark: The response has been fantastic. Everything seemed to get really serious for you guys, I guess, from an outsider’s point of view, with the last album “Sin and Bones” which sold out everything you had done previously, and it looks like this one’s on the way to top that. Was there a change in emphasis, and did you get the feeling that things were more serious when that record came out?
|

Mark: It’s been a great ride so far, it’s hard to believe it’s almost fourteen years since the first album came out, and you’ve now hit the peak of your form, there must be an amazing feeling within the band. Just looking at “Lights go Out”, it’s a pretty bold statement as a single, was that song the first choice, or was it a hard decision to make as to which song would be first out?

Mark: [laughs] ‘Baker Street’ style that would be so cool!
Chris: Once again, it’s a song that has a Prog element to it like songs in the past like ‘A Passed Life’ or ‘Wormwood’- songs like that, and ‘Witchery’ follows in that tradition. There are songs on there that are maybe a little more poppy, a little bit more groovy, or a little more rhythm and blues style, but Witchery comes out and its heavy and fast and has everything in there, a cool section in the middle, and a bass solo, so it’s great to let people know that there are heavy and crushing songs on there because that’s part of what we do as a band also. I think that’s one of my favourites too and like you said it’s a perfect closer for this great masterpiece of work we’ve put together!

Mark: You sidestepped that one nicely! But I got a better answer anyway. One question we got over the net was a bout you getting back in the ring recently?
