::Sure I could.

Any updates (good, bad or otherwise) on a ''[[Year Zero]]'' mini-series?
::Let's start on a down note! This is currently in a holding state. We didn't find the right match with a writer, and really have been avoiding doing what we should have done from the beginning: write it ourselves. We = [[Rob Sheridan|Rob]] and myself. This project means a lot to me and will see the light of day in one form or another.

Hey Trent. I've really enjoyed your [[An Omen EP|new EP]] and I had a question about ‘[[Ice Age]]’ (Great track btw). How did this come to be? On the surface, it sounds poppy and maybe a little bit hopeful, but the lyrics and the underlying effects suggest something a bit darker. Should we expect the full album to sound more like this or will it be something entirely different?
::Thank you. We were experimenting around with the juxtaposition of something familiar and almost folky sounding sitting in a very cold and sterile environment. Mariqueen had this melody that would have been happy living in a Fleetwood Mac record, and we created this plucky accompaniment that sounded acoustic but was anything but. Then we put all that in the freezer. The [[Welcome Oblivion (album)|full record ]] expands the boundaries of the EP a bit more.

Aside from destroy angel's new EP, what's next for you?
::A number of things. Tweaking some things for the HTDA [[Welcome Oblivion (album)|full LP]] (coming in Spring), helping Josh out on a new [[Queens Of The Stone Age|QOTSA]] track, working with Roy, starting rehearsals for two bands.

You are probably one of my biggest influences and inspirations, and I hope one day to be on your level. Creepy shit aside, I saw a video a few years ago about how much you love Mainstage. Do you still use it, and will you/have you used it with How To Destroy Angels? I'm taking my band on the road early next year, would you still recommend it for live use? Thanks for doing this AMA :)
