Jonathan Schang, DISTRICT 97 drummer and founder. says "It has been a thrill to excavate 20 years of District 97 history, from the very first piece we composed in 2006 (To Catch a Predator), to collaborations with our heroes John Wetton and Mike Portnoy, to two brand new songs that point the way toward the new decade to come (Wrecked & The Assumbly Line). Many of these songs represent absolutely crucial moments in our development and career highlight performances. and it feels incredibly satisfying to finally assemble them into a cohesive whole. The Abyss Stares Back, and in doing so communicates the alternate history of 20 years in the life of District 97."
