The band announced their hiatus at the end of 2017 but that hasn’t stopped them from playing a few shows and teasing a metal version of their classic “Meant to Live”.

If that title looks a little familiar it’s because it’s a sequel to the 2014 movie Unbroken about US Olympian and army officer Louie Zamperini.… Continued →
