I just thought it would be funny to force an acronym for \u2018what\u2019s that?\u2019 and I came up with \u2018We Have Alottta Thrash Songs That Have Abbreviate Titles\u2019. From there we came up with the concept of an EP with a bunch of forced acronym titles. The EP itself was written somewhat conceptually with the individual songs being very short thrash songs that come together to make one longer progressive thrash track, which harkens back to the title since we don\u2019t even know what it is! We have a ton of new material in the works as well, people can expect new stuff sooner rather than later!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The five track assault is the\u00a0follow up to the band&#8217;s 2014 debut LP &#8220;<strong>M.E.C.H.
