"I had a little hiccup last year; I broke my leg. That delayed recording for almost a year," Lawless explained at Sweden Rock over the weekend. "There's one thing I learned when I was doing The Crimson Idol: if you make a record over too long a time you have to be careful, because the record you start out making is not the record you end up finishing. You've changed so much as a person over a three- or four-year period; you've got to be very careful to hold on to that vision."
