Pamela Parosky from MetalUnderground.com recently interviewed Zakk Sandler from http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=43561. Zakk seems to be the most open personality in the band. I’ve seen them twice as support acts and he’s the one that gets the crowd going and the one that sticks around afterwards to talk to fans.

In the interview he talked about the writing process for the next album, in brief.

Our last record doesn’t really transcend anything and doesn’t put out any message of any sort and, even within every song, most of them are pretty open to interpretation. I think there will be songs in [the next album] that will have real meaning behind them.

I think that’s what a lot people didn’t like about Light From Above. The music was cool and thrashy but the lyrics lacked a bit. I thought it was pretty good when it first came out, but I can’t remember the last time I listened to it. The guitars are good, Gabriel’s voice is good, but the lyrics are the bands shortcoming. There isn’t good substance. The album still sold well for a debut album, seeing that the label pushed the shit out of these guys. I’m sure the next album will be a more mature sounding record and better than the last.
