To Damaris

Actually Damaris, I met them at Ichthus as well and saw their concert and that's not what their music aims for. Each mask stands for a different thing. The pigman mask stands for the pig that was inside of him and during everyone at all times, especially in him during his addiction. That's why their drummer always signs 'Kill The Pig' with his autograph. The faceless woman represents every woman and person that he and anyone can ignore or hurt at any time if they let the pig show itself. Then, his son also plays the 'Leech' during some songs, which represents how people can want and want for themselves, but never give anything. He always signs 'Give and Give' with his autograph. I would think that if you saw their show, he would have said something, but then again this was explained by Veronica at their merch table at Ichthus 2009. Their music also somewhat tells a story through how T.D. Benton, the 'leader' i guess of the band struggled with a serious pornography addiction, and his wife, the bassist, struggled with belemia (spelling?) in trying to make herself better for him. The masks are shown to him through dreams is what he said, and he brought it to life in order to help others find God and with other related addictions and problems.
