Thank you brother, I really appreciate that. Some of my notes that I made while listening to this album the first time were solid from beginning to end, no skip over tracks and throwback to when albums were a complete work of art. If you were aiming for good, then you far exceeded that my friend because this album is beyond just being good. If this is going to be the last album that we’re going to make, that is always a possibility, then let’s make a whole piece of music. You know, not just make a good single to see how high we can climb on the charts it wasn’t about that at all. Once the diagnosis, it did give us a whole new sense of direction and we wanted to make a good album as a whole. I think you may have tapped into that because this new album sounds like a new band with new purpose and direction. Dude, I’m a firm believer in inspiration can be found in times of hardship. I heard you mention that in your interview with Jose Mangin on SiriusXM Octane and I was shocked. So, that’s where we’ve been brother, we’ve been getting better. We had to take another hiatus from touring and stuff until I got better. We finally got back into the studio and started tracking new material again and we got about two songs into it and I was diagnosed with throat cancer. Our creative juices just weren’t kicking in and it was a really tough time. We took a bit of a hiatus because when we came off the road in 2011, we were tired and just done in. I do have to ask, where the hell have you been? Man, I have to tell you that it’s damn good to see you guys back. Well, I do believe that we’re done with those kinds of days for a while. I don’t like sweating, I don’t like walking and getting all sweaty and needing a bath before I get to the car (laughs). Me too man, I’m about over this summer shit I don’t like hot. It’s cold and rainy here in Virginia, but I kind of like days like this at times too. Nathan: Not too bad brother, it’s a beautiful day here in Missouri. Hey Nate, man it’s great to see you guys back. I had the chance to sit down with lead singer Nathan Hunt recently and we talked about everything from those health issues to the WWE and even Michael Jackson. One listen to their newest album Smokin’ Hearts and Broken Guns, their first since 2009’s Shine, and you can hear that hunger resonating from each and every song. Well, don’t worry true believers because the guys are back with a new-found direction and a determination that’s burning brighter than ever. The band has gone through personnel changes, major health issues and much more that would make many bands pack their bags and call it a day. The path that Shaman’s Harvest has been on since they began back in 1996 has been full of lots of twists and turns.
