St.Peter's Cathedral written in 2002 ?

Thats crazy, considering the music they were writing back then.

@zacgob What's awesome is that if you actually listen to the new album, you can probably make out a few techniques that their older stuff had which is super crazy, but also really cool that they're coming back to their roots.

"Committed." That makes me smile, knowing that these guys are in it for the long haul.
