Talking about how it’s serious, it’s almost a different style than you’ve played with Slipknot and the Murderdolls, what is it going to be like when it comes time to play live? I remember back in the day watching the Slipknot ‘Disasterpieces’ DVD and there’s that footage pre-show of you throwing up before you go on stage. I haven’t done a record this serious since the first Slipknot record. We had this great record and wanted to make sure every little bit was executed correctly. We knew what we wanted and completely had that fire and hunger. We went in with a mission and there was no time for slacking off. I have to say this is one of the only records I’ve made where it has been strictly business – there was no fucking around. Not so much that stuff, just any interesting stories? Were there any interesting tales to tell from this debut Scar The Martyr album? I was reading Corey Taylor’s new book – ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven’ – there’s a chapter in there that was interesting about the recording of Volume III in the Houdini Mansion. The band is real excited and the fire is all there, so we are ready to get out and take it as far as we can while we’ve got the chance. It’s kind of like the feeling I had when we released the first Slipknot. Our album comes out in a week and we’ve only done one tour with Danzig and we are going out here on a little, small club headlining run before we hit major tours. How far into the future, in terms of a general timeline, do you have this mapped out? Is the plan to make this go full-time and have a couple of studio albums come out in years to come? With Scar The Martyr obviously you’ve got a few other musical priorities mixed in with it. We just finished rehearsal about an hour ago, it’s feeling really good man so far. It’s really cool man because we worked so hard on it constructing the songs and the production. I almost have the same feeling with this record as I had releasing the first Slipknot record. I’m actually feeling really good about it. New band, new album about to come out, it’s a new beginning.
