We\u2019ll do everything ourselves!\u2019 The very first number we composed for the new record was \u2018We Take Back Control\u2019, which pointed the direction for the rest of the album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This direction reportedly manifests itself on other tracks such as \u2018Who Rules The World\u2019, which is, as she explained is \u201ca typical example of my style, a kind of retrospective of my entire musical life.\u201d \u2018Hallowed Ground\u2019 is dedicated to her idol Ronnie James Dio, meanwhile. \u201cI met Ronnie lots of times and had wonderful discussions with him. He knew that I first got into metal thanks to his music and that I owe him lots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>We Are The Chosen<\/em> was recorded at Hertz Studios in Bia\u0142ystok, Poland, with Leather Leone and Vinnie Tex in charge of songwriting and production.
