Lead singer Chris Jericho commented on the album “It’s the typical cliché, but Sin and Bones really is the best thing we’ve ever done. We’ve taken the heavy yet ultra-melodic style that has become Fozzy’s trademark to the next level and I guarantee these songs will blow all of you away!” At the pre-show to the Metal Hammer awards on June 11, Fozzy performed a new song set to be on the album called “Sandpaper”. During an interview at the 2012 Download festival Jericho also stated that the band wanted to make Sin and Bones their Black Album in reference to Metallica’s critically acclaimed self-titled album that sent them into the mainstream.
