DW – Absolutely, any time!

DW - Well I am so grateful to our fans and friends who have always been so good and loyal to us! I hope that it will keep climbing up the charts, that would be really great!

DW - I would have liked to get the record out sooner as well, but in hindsite, this seems to be the right time for this record. We took our time in the studio to really work out all the material and the final mixes by Jacob Hansen took longer than anticipated but in the end it turned out amazing. It wouldn’t be the same if we had let it out any sooner.

DW – We are heading out now to Europe for a 3 week promotional tour covering alot of ground. An US tour is planned for late summer and also another European tour in the winter this year. We would love to get out to some of the festivals this year as well, but nothing is firm.

DW – There are many, but some that come to mind include the “Rock Hard Festival” and “Waacken Open Air” both in Germany. Can’t pick just one place!

DW – The band member have mixed political views, but one thing we do agree on is that we support the troops.. So far the song has recieved a mixed reaction, but it’s very important to us. It started off as a Thin Lizzy style ballad and turned into our way of saying thank you to all men and women who have served their countries. If there is any message, it’s that it’s just not right that these people put their lives on the line and it’s typically a thankless job.

DW - That is a very long story. But you name it, we had it – from management trouble, label hassles, lineup changes, to death and taxes…. The band was on a full hiatus for about 9 years with members pursuing other projects. But, ever since 2001 when we reformed to do the Thrash of the Titans, we have been doing everything we could to get things going again, we did Wacken Open Air in 2002, finished and released Recovered in 2003 on our own, recorded three new songs to shop for a record deal and went on tour in Europe in 2005 with Nuclear Assault and then finally signing with Mascot Records. We’ve spent the last 3 years formalizing the lineup, writing and recording the new record and now here we go!

DW – Thinking back on the 80’s, they were a very exciting time, we were playing shows and going out every weekend to see new bands. It was electric. But Heavy Metal isn’t really a fad, it’s a way of life. Now we are that demographic and the younger generations are looking to our era for influences that have sparked new fire into the genre. The new bands coming up are great. Hammerfall, Warbringer, Hatchett, Bonded by Blood, and Merciless Death to name a few. You can hear the old school influences in their music. Very cool.

DW – That’s not fair, since I think ours is the best (laughs), but overall, these bands are all at the top of my list. It’s great to see everybody still making metal music and also to see that the fan base has grown again in the states.

DW - The 80’s really were out of control, we were having way too much fun. We definitely still connect with one another for the most part. It was awesome to all get together to do the Thrash of the Titans.

DW – It’s always different and it’s usually some form of a collaboration with all members bringing their strengths to the table.

DW – We just try to stay true to what we do and hopefully that sets us apart.

DW – When I was in high school, I brought home my first Black Sabbath record “Paranoid”. I was 14 and my life was changed forever.

DW – Blues, Jazz and Classical for the most part.

DW – Check out Volbeat if you get a chance.

DW - Bang your head to The Evolution of Chaos! And get off your ass and come see us when we are in town. You won’t be disappointed.
