We are so proud of 'No Time To Bleed' and feel that we made a definite statement with this effort. This is the culmination of years of relentless touring and hard work. We most of all want to thank you, the fans, for helping us achieve this amazing benchmark and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all of you supporting us. We are going to celebrate with all of you this summer on the 'Pedal To The Metal' tour with MUDVAYNE this summer, which will be the first American tour that we will be selling our new record. So come out and witness the new jams. We promise that it will be a night to remember."
