spoke about the band's split with Arin in a November 2015 interview with the "Talk Is Jericho" podcast. He said: "It just became increasingly difficult to be on the same page, not only touring, but with writing and just where we want to take things." Shadows continued, "We said, 'Listen, we can ride this thing out the way it is right now and we'll be fine or we can shake the nest a little bit and we want to fire on all cylinders again. We want to be the baddest band on the planet. We want to just dominate onstage.' And I came up with the idea that I really want to talk to Brooks and see if there's any chance and see where he's at in his life right now
