Lostalone have been enjoying some astounding and arguably deserved fortune and Batelle was more than happy to chat about their experience of supporting My Chemical Romance and 30 Seconds to Mars, as well as his love of all things pop, his respect for Freddie Mercury, his desire to collaborate with Marina and the Diamonds and how their new album and their current tour have been feeding their optimism. He even briefly speaks on their next album. Enjoy…

It is 2012 now, six years on from their formation, and only now are they releasing their long-awaited debut album. In the interceding time the likes of TesseracT and Periphery have come along and become stars of the ground that The Safety Fire also tread; a region of progressive metal that alternates brutality and melody with startling ease and precision.
