Philip Anselmo and his backing band the Illegals have just embarked on the 2014 winter leg of their Technicians of Distortion Tour in support of the 2013 album 'Walk Through Exits Only.' Prior to the trek, Anselmo and his Illegals drummer Jose Manuel 'Blue' Gonzales took some time to chat with Loudwire about the album.
