Meka: I do everything according to feeling. I always get that gut feeling and I think more of us should learn to trust our gut. Because our head is really important, our heart is usually important and then our gut is a whole other brain and that is scientifically proven. You just have these feelings. I had a feeling to go to Japan and I just went with it. I got a job and I moved to Japan and met a great Bass player and we toured all over and did like 150 shows in Japan. Then when I got back I decided to reform the band more as a Rock unit. Because I wanted to incorporate more like, more than just Rock, but I wanted to Rock. When I got here I ended up meeting Bobby. Bobby is more into traditional Metal and Rock setup. But, he is a really good drummer for my energy, epic theatrics, spiritual presence, and my craziness. He actually has a really cool, you know, dude perspective to offer and I thought that was really cool I just had a feeling when I met him. I was like, "Oh, shit. We got to talk." and he really was not playing that much. He never really been in a band before.

I was playing, you know, vibing with him and playing and I taught him how I played and wrote songs. Even when we were recording our first song called Bedlam, be like, "Oh, you are really telling a story when you play guitar." and Bobby has just become like, a monster! That is the word, on guitar, over the last few years playing with him. I decided to stay in the US and I was like, "Okay, what can we do next?" Now we have such a great line up. After Jay Adkisson joined a few years ago back in 2015 when we were touring with Trapt and Otep. Then again in 2016 when we toured with Avatar and Jay stepped up right at the right time and offered his keyboard sound and his epic songwriting ability and I always wanted Jay to be in the band and he kind of came to me in the right moment. It all just kind of lined up.
