He then shared, “Thanks to you my childhood dream came true. The right five guys came together at the perfect time and made history. I have the sincerest gratitude towards the guys for their amazing creativity, their absolute dedication and hard work and their commitment to the band. I love you guys so much!”

It changed so many things in my life. I remember my 24-year-old self so nervous that I had opened my heart for the world to feel the pain I was going through at that time.”
The singer continued, “It’s so incredible. It helped so many with there journey through the darkness we all know so well. Ross Robinson, thank you for capturing every emotional breath I took the sound of my teeth grinding from the tension in my body.”
