FOZZY frontman and WWE wrestling superstar Chris Jericho is featured in a new interview with Jason Price at Icon Vs. Icon. An excerpt is available below:

Q: You have referred to Sin and Bones as your most important record to date. What are your thoughts on the album now that you have had over a year to live with it and tour on it?

Jericho: "It was big for us. Like I said, we had a lot of momentum from Chasing The Grail and we had made a lot of strides to be taken seriously as a band and having a legitimate reputation as a live band and as songwriters. That is what led us to Century Media Records. With that move, we knew we would be under the microscope now more than ever. We knew that it was a great opportunity and if we were going to take that next step, this was the way to do it; on the back of Century Media. In order to do that, we had to put out the best record we have ever done. We really focused in on making Sin And Bones the best thing we had ever done. We really wanted to focus in on what we do best as a band, which is very heavy riffs with very melodic choruses, a lot of vocal harmonies and the best lineup we have ever had with Paul Di Leo. There were a lot of factors of us going over the cliff and getting some real speed behind us. All those factors built up to show us that. We wanted to release a very cohesive collection of songs and take the listeners on a journey from song one to song ten. We wanted every song, although diverse, have a certain tone to play into the complete package and storyline. The diversity on Sin And Bones is very similar to METALLICA's Black album; there is a lot of diversity on the record but all of the songs have a certain feel and vibe to it. That is really what we wanted with Sin And Bones and we got it!"
