Another great day at the studio!
We re-wrote the 'News' track and shaped it to what we believe is the best structure; this song is an enciclopedia of all bass techniques: tapping, slap, scales, etc etc; Nuno is actually doing a great job!
Linx has already a big part of his vocal lines aligned to work a lyric on it; the 1st verses section has a Chris Cornell(Soundgarden era) approach and we go a little more towards Russel Allen (Symphony X) on the chorus. Depeche Mode and Dream Theater are also big influences on the vocals for this one.
We worked a big section of the instrumental that originally was created by Mike and we're using it on the song. We spent all afternoon creating the best moods; I like a lot the 'Belewish'approach on guitars just before the 4/4 section.
At the end of the day Mike, Linx and I spent some time discussing new concepts for other tracks and suddendly something very curious happened...suddendly, one of the riffs I use in all our soudchecks to test my guitar sound on the monitors made 100% sense with a part of a lyric for a new song.
Immediately I showed it to Linx who started to write a lyric for it on the spot; we had our brains and imagination working very fast and in a question of minutes we had a new structure and a new song. Sam and Nuno will love it for sure.Here I can listen to Ramstein, Metallica, Linkin Park and Jo Satriani influences. In my opinion this is the single for the new album!! It totally rocks and it's called "Doppleganger"!
