cause the band got tighter and
more creative.
“By the end, it’s very differ-
ent than the beginning,” ex-
plained Kanach. “It feels like a
journey because it was. It came
out of my head finally the way I
thought it would. Because of the
involvement of these other guys
and what they contributed, it
was better than I imagined it.”
Kanach describes the album’s
concept as beginning with “Rise”
and a flashback of the person’s
life into “Shine” which is the
alarm clock going off and the
person waking up in his own pri-
vate hell again. The person has
to decide whether they’re going
to overcome their damage or
not. It’s not clear if the person is
in purgatory, in a coma, or might
be simply dreaming; but the
person is stuck having to face
all of the things that have hap-
pened to them every day. They
