'Cause they heard us on the radio, and they're, like, 'Wow, that's not bad.' They come to a show, but then they're exposed to the songs they like and some heavier, heavier songs as well." And now, because of us, they started to listen. We have fans who wouldn't necessarily listen to another heavy metal band, but somehow we grabbed them. But it's not because necessarily more metal fans are there it's because we're blurring the edges of the genre.
