When we first started the band here in LA, Janes Addiction was the band we looked up to. They came out at a time when there was a lot of glam rock and hair bands and they got put into that category, but they stood out because they were doing their own thing. We were kind of caught in the same kind of situation at another time: there were a lot of new-metal bands and wed get put into that category even though we didnt fit. Its funny that now theres bands like Mars Volta doing this prog-rock thing thats kinda getting popular, people put us in that genre now. That may be closer to the truth, but I think Hypnotized is going to go further in terms of getting people to understand what were doing.

I was trying to conquer my sexual desires through something the world says is acceptable. Though it is no longer a daily struggle, it is something that I must ask God to sustain me from. I understand now that only God can fight these battles. Through God's strength, temptations, especially pornography, can be defeated, but only if we maintain a daily relationship with Him.
