Main riffs , main themes . We will be building around these ideas , so about one-third of the album is underway . " The band was slated to play the 2013 Mayhem Festival , alongside Amon Amarth , Rob Zombie , Mastodon , Children of Bodom and others , but cancelled due to drummer Inferno taking ill and needing appendix surgery
