Volume 1 of the band's double-album project is written by the band with Kevin Churko, and it leans on high-profile guests: Judas Priest's Rob Halford on the No. 1 'Lift Me Up' and Maria Brink of In This Moment on 'Anywhere But Here.' The one cover is a version of LL Cool J's 'Mama Said Knock You Out' featuring rapper Tech N9ne, whose deep sample-based credits bring in funk and soul writers. Churko produced. It went Platinum.
