K.K. Downing said:I think there are a lot of the usual ingredients, but with a bigger spectrum of sound with a bit of a classical element and more orchestrated sounds, which can be extremely heavy if used right.

Weve always tried to widen the audience of rock and metal and make it more credible to more people, and hopefully well achieve that goal with this project.
