When asked about the timeline of his new studio album "I just finished up the last guitar solo yesterday. I'm sending it to the guy that is mixing it and then he can put it on and start mixing all the rest of the songs. Then he will send it to me and I ok it. It will probably be released in three months. Probably done in a few weeks but it takes time to do the other stuff. It would have been done a long time ago if the Covid hadn't hit it has just been postponed. It will be self released, it will be easier to sell on Bandcamp and at my shows. " When asked about the songs "All the songs on there are about what I have done in my life experiences and stuff like that. In regards to the songs there is one ballad called 'In God's Hands' and the rest of the stuff is heavier."
