We caught up with bass player Chris Kael to chat about the album, the movie and the upcoming tour (with Megadeth, THE HU, and Fire From The Gods), interacting with friends and foes on the internet, as well as the million dollar question, which you will have to tune in to find out.

We would like to thank Chris for his time and also huge thanks to Better Noise Music and Maric Media for their on going support
