Matt “It’s A Doozy. Initially It Was Two Separate Songs Or Two Separate Ideas I Should Say. Nolly Wrote The First Batch Of Riffs And Then Mark Came Up With The Second Half. Then Misha And Jake Sort Of Filled Everything In. “We’ve Written Some Long Songs Before – This One Comes In A Little Bit Shorter Than Our Previously Released Longest Song. I Don’t Think The Goal Was ‘Hey Let’s Write A Really Long Song.’ The Guys In The Band Just A Very Clear Idea Of What They Wanted To Do. They Wanted This Extended Tale That Takes You Up And Down And Through Various Peaks And Valleys. “In The Sequence Of The Story Omega Represents The Character’s Death And Rebirth. It’s Very Aggressive In The Beginning And Then It Gets Very Down And Becomes Ominous And Then It Gets Back Up And Slams It. At The End Although The Character Might Have Found Some Piece What He’s Left In His Wake Is Disarray And A Violent Remains.”
