A new track from the effort entitled “Someone Else’s Nightmare” can be streamed online through the bands Myspace. Meanwhile, band vocalist/guitarist Mike Conte offered the following on the album:

“There’s a lot of angst and urgency that comes out in this record, musically, vocally, lyrically, and creatively. It’s a very raw, honest record which I think sadly has become extremely rare within heavy metal. It means something, it stands for something. I don’t like making records just for the sake of making records. For me, the songs have to come from somewhere real artistically and that is very much the case with Death Potion.”
