Allen West, der Gitarrist von OBITUARY, muss, nach dem er schon bei Gigs der Band zusammen mit SADUS und SEPULTURA nicht vertreten war, ins Gefängnis:

„To my friends and fans, I have gotten into trouble that can only be resolved by my incarceration. I will do this with thoughts of all of you. Soon I will be free again and come back stronger and better. My release is scheduled for February 2008. I will not let this problem kill my spirit and will use it to sharpen my creativity. Hope to see all of you next year.“

John Tardy, der Sänger, dazu:

„This sucks and there is not much we can do about it but, we will continue to move on and do what OBITUARY does! We have a lot planned for this new album with Candlelight and look forward to the September release of our new CD!“
