The Lightforce frontman Lee Hawke comments:

“I’ve finally had some time to catch a break if like to tell you all a little story. First off let’s give a big thanks to One Nation Management for helping out with some amazing artwork. And you know this project pushed me mentally and physically the amount of battles I had to face to make it to this point is unreal. During the time in which you all were going through »Father Time« EP with us I was already working on episode 2 and hit a nasty case of writers block what was done on that project was wrote from grief and anger but I knew within time would heal all wounds and my brotha Stevie G. and I are big comic fans and as you all know I am big X-men Avengers fan and that’s what I did I went back to what gave me my purpose to fight and live and let’s just say I reclaimed my power and passion for life again.

And a big thanks to all the bands we’ve befriended on this journey watching you all play live and at a high level I knew what I had to do. I want to say thank you to Stevie G. for being a damn good friend and a brotha and a resilient warrior on this journey he pushed through boundaries you wouldn’t believe and truly a once in a generational guy we had to two piece the joint and we served life the same shit sandwich it tried to serve me Richard Feudner. Big Heavy’s been with us for over a year now and vital to this team and one of the fastest learners you probably gonna ever see he’s cooking up some beefy tones for when we see you all again and definitely not least Elijah Luciano.

Say what you will but Elijah is a ray of sunshine even to the light itself im so glad to have a friend that good and that humble is a godsend and word from the man himself he’s your healer Noah helped us on »Father Time« and »HOTN« and man we came in knowing what had to be done Noah put his heart and soul into this and we both upgraded our rigs max level he was a mad scientist and he’s very open to working with more bands in the future if you took the time out to read all of this thank you all it’s an honor to be your commander lead this charge of doom embrace this lighting I hope you love it and this wouldn’t be possible.”
