Discussed how to deal with the cease and desist order from the other “Iron Mantis.” Among other topics, spitballed possible lyrics for the song Dawn of the Rise of and Thorgrim’s War Hammer. Debated whether to add koozies from the merch order. Made tentative plans to contact Heather about mixing the EP The 8th Plague. Dropped acid and mentioned what our technical rider might contain when we open for Megadeth one day. The meeting ended with talking about how the female Praying Mantis will cannibalize her partner after mating.
