The doctors said I might not be able to walk again. Today, I can almost run, but back then, I couldn't even stand up. I was bed-ridden. If I wanted to turn over in bed, I had to move my legs with my hands. I was in and out of the hospital for months.

When everyone tells you, 'No, no, no,' your creative forces get a little twisted and turn into something more apocalyptic than ever.

It's not about the names or the faces: it's about the music we are creating.

Making the 'Sulfur' video continued our quest to make a video different and visually stimulating.

I've been into 3IOB since 'Battle Cry Under a Winter's Sun.' I've wanted to work with them since.
