It's art, just look at it as art. Yeah, it's disgusting, but that's never gonna happen. Go to the Vatican and look at some of the artwork there. Woah… - George Fisher

I saw [the album cover for ] and was like, 'oh my -- damn. That has got to piss some people off.' [...] It's one to have people dying in your [albums], well you start messing with children, and people start getting pissed off.

I don’t want people to think I’m the maniac that people think I am, think all of us are. We’re five guys in a band, touring, living our dreams, playing metal. We could sing about politics, but we’d get into way more fights and arguments way more than we do now. We could be a Satanic evil band, you know, or a super religious band, you know, really getting both sides of the coin there. Metalheads don’t give a fuck, we accept everybody.

The music’s brutal and some of the lyrics reflect that, but we’re not trying to make people aware of anything. All you have to do is watch the news if you want to be aware of all the violence in the world.
