In the chat Chris Impellitteri explained their decision to name one of their new songs WRATHCHILD.


"This is not Rob's (Rock) fault this is actually my fault because I gave him that lyric. So actually  where you say Wrathchild and it's funny the way you pronounce it is almost actually originally what it was going to be. Originally it was about Rothchild. What I thought of in a capitalistic society we're really driven unfortunately by greed, we want more more more more more. And I think we have this misconception if you have a ton of money then you have power and with power you have influence and to a lesser degree that's true. So I had this vision when I was writing it believe it or not about this child obsessed as he evolved in life with acquiring wealth, fortune and power, so he could rule the world. But then inevitably finding out that it's a shallow grave you're digging. There's going to be no self-fulfillment at the end, it ends badly for you. And at that point something magical happens and all of a sudden this child is able to put the wrath upon those forces. Greed, power, manipulation whatever... And I thought oh that's cool it's the wrath of this child back on those forces of capitalism.  So I said oh that'd be great but I was like also you can't call it Wrathchild it's a Maiden song right? So I knew that but I remember telling Rob (Rock) maybe we should change to Rothchild right because like you know the the Vanderbilts, Carnegies Rothchild whatever... I thought that'd be cool but then I thought you know screw that, let's call it WRATHCHILD because also I'm a huge fan of Maiden and I think in a some way in a weird way  it's an ultimate kind of like homage or tribute cause we love Maiden."
