Fozzy lead vocalist Chris Jericho stated the following regarding Blood Divisions: “Blood Divisions is an all star collection of some of the most talented musicians to ever come from the legendary southern Florida metal scene. Being a huge fan of all of these musicians and their legendary bands, especially Nasty Savage, when David Austin himself asked me to lay down the vocals, I responded immediately, ‘Yes! What songs do you want me to sing and how many studded leather gauntlets can I wear?’ I’m so honored and proud to be a part of the project and very excited with the results. Trust me, it’s going to tear all of your fuckin’ heads off, in the best possible way!”
