Tom: Kiss, Immortal, Wasp, In Flames, etc.

The reason for not putting them on the EP was becuz people have already heard them we wanted to record a brand new song for the EP and move forward. But they are on the setlist during live shows.

13. Who was the who who designed the EP artwork and why did you want to go with using yourselves as the main inspiration?
