you guys have seen all the slaughter of prevail t
shirts walking around and all that stuff, so people are
definitely excited to see him this one. I love this one.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I hate I hate out merch in general, but this
it's a cool one.
Speaker 1 (02:21):

No kidding, actually croucheted overnight. It's one of one. Okay,
So we got the new album that just came out, Grizzly,
tell me about that ship? Where are we? Where do
(02:45):

did you guys plan to drop it before you knew
about playing Incarceration or it just happened that way? Surround them,
just around. It's also the best opportunity ever. Yeah. Actually,
it's like you.
Speaker 4 (02:57):

Yeah, I love this album.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Actually, we put our souls and put so much effort
and time in this album because before that we always
been in rush. We've always been in rush, and we
have this fucking deadlines and all this Ship. But for
this album, we just sit and fucking do whatever we
want with the tracks and we just I don't know.
I'm just happy we did this ship and for the

gonna do with the music, but.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We have like deadlines every time, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And I think for Grizzly, it's less of an album
and it's more of a collection of songs that you
know from the start, it's from nineteen.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
To eighty four. This was obviously yeah, twenty twenty two,
when Alex moved to America.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's almost like the rest of the Pantic, you know,
this process of time but into the album, so you
could hear us go through melodic things stuff road Enough
about missing home and all this stuff. You know, Yeah,
ballots basically lip that ship about hitting the chip.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So it's like an album, you.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Know, it's collection of songs that each one represents pretty
moods of the timeline.

you know, albums that come out, so definitely no pressure,
get to do what you want. I love that. We
