Since its rhythms school are so all over the place and chaotic at times, finding a record label that really suited the band's music was something the group had to seriously consider before inking a deal they could soon As regret metal labels like Earache (home of artists like Carcass and Godflesh) expressed much interest and even talked to the guys when they were still playing basement and backyard gigs in New Jersey, it was ultimately Relapse Records that was into the music as opposed to the marketability of the group. "The thing that first attracted us to the hardcore world was the fact that the people who were in charge of the music were the people who made the music. At the time it just seemed like all the metal labels cared about was what was going to sell," Weinman said. "It's not like we were of other popular bands or anything like that. That's why we chose Relapse because we had the president of the label coming to all our shows and expressing int erest in this kind of music."

"We've done a couple of shows with Meshuggah in the past and there have been talks of doing something in the near future," Weinman said about an idea or two the band has been tossing around. "Our biggest problem is being able to afford to play these shows all over the place. It's really an honor to have made it this far, so we'll keep working into the summer and beyond and maybe some more shows of such a high caliber will roll around as the word gets out." long-tim- audience just absolutely loved him.
