“I met Travis [Neal] while he was singing for DIVINE HERESY,” recalls THE BLOODLINE guitarist Shaun Glass. “DIRGE WITHIN parted ways with its singer, and I reached out. We did a week of shows in the Midwest. However, as soon as we started writing new material together, it hit us. This is a new entity. I’d never experienced chemistry that powerful.”

Regarding the musical direction of “We Are One”, Glass said: “It’s very groove-heavy with huge melodies and epic hooks. The listener can nod their heads and really lock in.”

He continued: “This has been a long growing process. Everything fell into place. Nothing was forced.

“I hope people get addicted to the album. I want them to crave it. They can be a part of this with us forever.”

Speaking about the decision to put their former band, DIRGE WITHIN, to rest, THE BLOODLINE members previously said: “Once we began writing the new music, it truly took on a new life of its own, [and] all of us felt it was best to admit this is not DIRGE WITHIN in many ways. [In addition] the four of us do not want to limit ourselves in any form as musicians.”

Shaun Glass – Guitar
Frankie Harchut – Drums
