The trio use to draw from the worlds in graphic novels and the music of NIN, The Cure and Muse, but with "Sleepwalker" the inspirations were a little different: "For this album we wanted to really explore our cinematic influences first, then pull from our musical influences. I wanted the record to sound like a soundtrack to movies like "The Crow" or "The Dark Knight." explains Brandon. "The bands we were listening to at the time that also helped influence us were Innerpartysystem, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Justice, 30 Seconds To Mars, Filter and The Faint."
The first single off the new album is called "Glass". Watch the video, directed by Chris Do, by clicking here.
"Sleepwalker" has been produced by Brandon Smith, Chris Lietz and Jurgen Engler and it's out now via Cleopatra Records.
