And how was the way of composing the songs in this work? Corey: Hymn for the Leeches was wri en solely by Shaune Kelley. Usually I write most of the music but I respect and look up to Shaune, knew he would take care of the album. As far as the vocals and lyrics go, they extremely aggressive. The lyrics were wri en during a very hard me in my life so they came out very hateful. 2-Tell us about this new alignment Shaune Kelley (Dim Mak, ex- Hate Eternal, ex-Ripping Corpse) on guitars, Andrew Guthrie (ex- Monstrosity) on bass, and Shane Elwell (Images Of Violence, Oppressive Force, VBT) on drums, how history was to recruit them? Corey: Our manager men oned Shaunes name, I called him right then and it was a done deal. Andrew I've known for a while, he's an amazing bassist and friend so that was a no brainer.
