Praying Mantis Q&A with Chris TroyAugust 2009

- Thank you so much. The response has been fantastic and so much above our wildest expectations. Really hope the momentum continues.

- I think one of the major reasons that Sanctuary is good is that it sounds so fresh. We have taken a step back over these years in order to cleanse our minds and introduce this rejuvenated style. I know it is 6 years and in truth it is hard to believe it has been that long. Hopefully it won’t be another 6 years.
