that have supported us and made it happen. It was awesome.”

The band is coming off hitting the Vans Warped Tour, where they shared the
stage with Andy Black and Attila.
Torres also discussed what motivated one the EP’s single, Purgatorium.
“It came to me. I was in a dark place. I was using psychiatric
medicine. Depression, anxiety and all these things I don’t do that any
more. I told my doctors to use other routes. I read books like The
Secret. I wanted to tell a story from a character with the perspective
of his experiences. I wanted to make it relatable with those who deal
with anxiety.”
