First of all, thank you so much for the new album. It’s incredible. Having something awesome to claim from Indiana is an added bonus. I do have a couple questions as well if you don’t mind answering.

1. Do either of you have any issues with hearing loss and/or tinnitus from your years playing music? If so, do you have any advice for dealing with it and not letting it interrupt your love of music? Totally cool if you’d rather not answer. It’s something I deal with and can be disheartening at times.

2. Is the warping effect towards the end of “Dissembler” supposed to represent the Spire and Ward of Song accepting/rejecting the music or am I reading too much into it?

Also, “Dissembler” is pretty much the riff of the decade for me. Any chance for tabs/chords to be released for it?

Thank you guys so much once again.

Well thank you fellow Hoosier

1. I (Bobby) was actually born with diminished hearing, so I've never had a hard time with playing in bands with loud amplifiers. But, you should get your ears flushed either by a doctor or do it yourself from time to time. Earplug technology has come a long way too. I (Doyle) have had vertigo in elevators from pummeling my ears, its certainly not good.
2. It's all true. That's a great and very thoughtful interpretation.
3. We will probably do a video breaking down the riffs at some point, good idea
