'Epicloud' is the first record that I felt confident enough to include all those things on one record, so it goes between melodic hard rock to schizophrenic heavy metal to country to really ambient stuff, and it's all in one place.
As a vocalist, I can scream, and I've got a really good singing voice, but I can't do the really heavy vocals.
Essentially, 'Z2' ended up feeling the way that it should, but it was through a considerable amount of trial and error that it took to get there.
As a drummer, I'm rhythmically so disabled that it's hilarious.
As someone whose music is connected to his personal growth, I feel an obligation to follow this muse wherever it leads.
I'm doing this record called 'Epicloud.' Over the course of the full record, there's sort of new agey stuff, jazzy stuff, really heavy stuff. We basically cover the gamut.
