The band revealed that Schendzielos will not only take part in their upcoming North American tour but he will part of the recording of the band's fourth studio album.

He had the following to say about his new gig, "I'm incredibly excited to be working with Havok. Been friends with the dudes forever, always have a blast with 'em, and now I get to thrash with 'em! I have big shoes to fill...Mike is a really, really solid player, but I think my playing style will mix in really well and fans will dig it. The new music is by far the coolest Havok I've ever heard. Can't wait to release it!"
