Austin Winkler revealed that the album is reflecting of “a really, really dark drug binge.” He added, “I think you can definitely hear the turmoil in my voice. As soon as we got the record done I went into treatment to get help, and it’s interesting to go back and listen to it now. Coming back, I have a whole new look on all of them and they mean something completely different to me now, too, so it’s pretty cool. That’s the beauty of music.” The album was produced by Hinder drummer Cody Hanson and Faktion's Marshall Dutton and mixed by James Michael of Sixx:A.M. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Welcome to the Freakshow (Hinder album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
