Commented the band: "We are extremely honored, and of course, surprised for this award. [To be] an extreme metal band and win over a jazz and a Latin pop band is just priceless. Finally, a metal band who achieves this kind of recognition. People in Costa Rica and the world are taking notice; we are a band to watch out for. We have big goals and this award really helps to remind us that we are on the right way. Expect a new album of extreme melodic metal without fillers."
