VIPERINE guitar shredder Payre had the following to say regarding hooking up with Metal Rules Records: "It's fucking badass to get this shit together with Metal Rules. No corporate fuckers involved, only true metal fanatics doin' it the hard way. The METAL way! No bullshit, no fuck ups, just loyalty to our mutual cause...Spreading kickass music!"

Metal Rules Records founder EvilG is excited to be working with VIPERINE: "After compiling the bands for our 'Volume I' release, VIPERINE was one of my favorites on there. When VIPERINE guitarist Payre spoke to me about having Metal Rules release their debut album, we thought this would make for an excellent launch-pad for Metal Rules Records. VIPERINE sum up just about everything I like about heavy metal — aggression, melody, and memorable songs. I'd be surprised if fans of heavy/power metal didn't love this band as they are not another faceless clone but already have their own sound."
