Blaze BayleyGUEST
Nobody was interested in Blaze Bayley at all.
Blaze BayleyGUEST
in the music industry or especially in the uk so i had enough money made and made sure i was okay i had enough money to make my own album and then I got in touch with Andy Sneap and asked him if he'd like to have a go at producing the album.
Blaze BayleyGUEST
I had some strong ideas and we talked together and he did.
Blaze BayleyGUEST
He said, yeah, I can see where you're going.
Matt HeafyGUEST
And who was it? We started talking to Roger Darsy.

Roger Darsy built Andy Sneap Studios, and basically Andy Sneap is the reason why we went to Andy Sneap for Ascendancy.
Matt HeafyGUEST
He's one of our favorite mixers of all time.

A legend, dude.
John VernoHOST
They dig into The Banner, a song with something to say about Prong's place in heavy music, and whether the band gets the recognition Tommy feels it deserves.
John VernoHOST
Revisiting Cleansing also had him thinking about how he wanted this new record to sound, what happened when Andy Sneap got hold of the recordings and started pulling things out.
John VernoHOST
There's an unexpected turn into Bananarama territory.

How does Cruel Summer end up on a Prong record anyways? Walt asks the questions behind all those albums and miles on the road.

Tommy VictorGUEST
Uh, no, like, you know, you make a record, it, it's, you like to think that a lot of people are gonna hear it or it's, it's gonna break through or something's gonna happen.
Tommy VictorGUEST
It's just like, yeah, yeah, it, it's, I, I keep that, I keep things in perspective within the lyric too.
Tommy VictorGUEST
[laughs] It's like, that may not happen, but let's hope so, you know? So, uh, but I think that the record sounds great, which is something that i- is impressive where, uh, you know, we have Andy Sneap mixing and mastering it.
Tommy VictorGUEST
Like you're talking about Judas Priest, you have a, you know, Screaming for Vengeance shirt in the back, you know, and he plays those songs like a master with Priest these days, like he is a master.
JimmyHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Roland ScriverGUEST
Yeah, so we, you know, we wandered up and we recorded in a studio that was owned by Andy Sneap.
JimmyHOST
Oh,
Roland ScriverGUEST
wow.
Metal WaltHOST
Going back to the overall sound of the album, because I love State of Emergency too, but to me this one's a little bit more direct.
Metal WaltHOST
It's kind of crisp, and I don't know if that's the Andy Sneap factor.

There's a lot of thrash influence on this.
