Commented Kontos: "The time is prime for some crushing metal from the Bay Area... and NOT just a project, 'scrap metal' I call it... with this guy from this band, and that guy from that band. No, thanks! This is a real band — one with guts, drive, heart, and we are damned ready to bring it out raw and fast to you."
