"Rebel" is about abused children rebelling from abuse and turning to a radical life of faith rather than a life of violence, drugs and crime like so many kids do. My daughter, Jennea, sang on the verses along with six other kids that made up the kids choir. It's cool to be able to include my kid in my music now. She was always pushed aside when I was in Korn.

Regarding the name change, guitarist Adam Fisher jokes, "It gets so tiring repeating 'Fear Before The March Of Flames' over and over again to old lady gas station attendants in Nebraska" but adds, "Mostly because in so many ways, we're a new band." Bassist Mike Madruga explains the long version of the name was a personal challenge to the members. Now that they feel they've met the challenge, it's time to get down to the roots of the band. "The long version of the name was good for us in the beginning because it was interesting and stood out. It paralleled our mentality of playing the music we were writing because we told ourselves, 'If we can pull off having this name, we had better be able to pull off the music we were writing.' The new album is 10 strong songs, no fillers or tag-ons... and we want the band name to replicate that."

The 'few months' seemed to flow into a bit longer as the summer progressed and we all dug deeper into our lives as individuals outside of ATP.
