Won’t Stay Dead

SPB: As your recent releases have been called Purgatory and 3 Hits from Purgatory is there going to be a similar theme to your next release and what can we expect?

Won't Stay Dead: You can expect something a little different for the next album. We have finally made it out of purgatory. We can’t say much about the next album other than “prepare for vindication.”
