Thirty Songs
“When Dobert came down in June, it relit a fire for us. We hadn’t played in the same room in quite a long time, so we were just fumbling through Metallica songs. The idea of “we need to write a huge album that serves as an entire catalog for the future, something we can always refer back to’”, was thrown around. So I started tracking in July and by August, it hit the thirty mark.” -Langdale
