After discussions with Tim about inviting Dave into the band,  we decided to see if it could happen. Dave was very receptive to the idea so it was decided! We were a few months into 2007 by this time. We decided to continue work on the second album with Tim on drums because he had already recorded most of the tracks. We made plans to start rehearsing with Dave and get used to the new configuration. We were all enthusiastic about the change. We knew Dave would bring a strong thrash element to the band and that was our desired direction.
