Will Darr // I came into the scene a little later than Living Sacrifice, and was not there when Living Sacrifice formed. I first got into the scene when The Hammering Process was released, or just a little before, so around 7 years ago, or thereabout. I was 12 then. To name some bands that I really looked up to or that really influenced me is easy. Encomium was pretty influential on me, I came into the scene when they were already somewhat established, before they released their first EP. They started out very metal, but as they lost some members and changed lineups, they became more experimental hardcore, and were still really good. The first time I saw Encomium was at the Frontline, it was a church in Southwest Little Rock, in the old University Quartet theatre. They would put on shows and they started out being $2, but went up to $5 after the frst few. It was the first show there, and it was Encomium, The Last Farewell, Catharsis, and Enlow (the only non-AR band on the bill, they were from OK). That was when I was 14 or so, and that was when I first started making close friends ...

That was when I was 14 or so, and that was when I first started making close friends in the scene, and a lot of my best friends are still people I met at the Frontline, which closed about 3 or 4 years ago, now. For me, personally, that was the high point in the local scene as far as harcore goes while I've been here. Every weekend a local show and there were more than two local bands that could be considered hardcore and were any good. After the Frontline shut down and a lot of those guys moved away for college, the scene sort of collapsed, and it is still recovering, or at least, it seems that way to me. It may just be that the part of the scene I knew collapsed, but it certainly seemed like the entire hardcore scene was fluxuating, and when I would go to concerts, I would see an entire new set of faces for a while. This has stopped being so much the case, and I even am seeing some of my friends from the Frontline at shows again, but I still think the hardcore scene (or at least what I knew of it) is still recovering from the blow.

Arkansas Times // The rather lengthy album title quotes some of the last reported words of Confederate Civil War Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.

The guys in the band say, "It has a very spiritual meaning and was said by a man who remained very focused and honorable in a terrible and trying time."

The CD contains six original tracks and was recorded in five days last August at Blue Chair Studio in Cabot. Mexico, Mexico from Russellville, Horizontal Orange from Kentucky and Tyler Read from Shreveport will also appear starting at 8:30 p.m.
