In The Hole w/Douglas Andrae (Post Humous Regurgitation, Hex Machine)
Q: Were you overwhelmed by the death metal scene when you first encountered it?
I wasn't overwhelmed by the scene but found more of a home in sound and music than necessarily in a location.
In The Hole w/Douglas Andrae (Post Humous Regurgitation, Hex Machine)
Q: Do you have to relearn to play drums and do specific things with your drumming after the injury?
Muscle memory helped me retain my drumming skills, while I had to learn to form words and orient myself again.

Q: What are your thoughts on the split happening with Full of Hell?
We got lucky to do that split with them because they're huge fans of ours and slowly, but surely GASP is kind of coming back out of the woodwork and we're going to start working on some new material.
