CRR: I have been enjoying these four songs that you've released. My only complaint is there are only four songs! I want an entire album.

Jason: It worked perfectly; that's exactly how it was supposed to work. We recorded eleven songs in our first session, so what you're hearing are the first four of those. I plan on recording around fifteen songs, total. Our target is to have the full album out by the middle of May. The other seven are in the can and the other new ones I really want to share, so I want to get them out there.

CRR: Are there any feelings, even with a half grin to Metallica that you can do this on your own without them? Is there any middle finger to them?

Jason: There is nothing vindictive or anything like that. There really isn't any negativity at all between us anymore. Its all water under the bridge and it has been 12 years now. That kind of sour and silly stuff was quite a while ago. It was mostly reactionary, I think. Now, it's really strong and pretty awesome. They've got their band kicking butt like always and I've got my new band and I feel like I'm 19 again�I really do feel that way.
