Recording Guitars


Hi folks,
Today Mike and I arrived at the studio in the morning to record some serious heavy guitars. While I was picking up my 7 string red devil from the case and warming up I got absolutly amazed by the work Mike did on 'Mind Over Matter', 'News' and 'Nanoworld' during this week- what a killers!!!
That was a hell of a tonic for what's coming after:)
Great sounding riffs and I'm pretty pleased with myself today, we got great results and the finest crunch guitars we've ever heard in years. Our recording techniques are improving and so our fingers...
Work goes on Monday with the final part of 'Nanoworld' and for the 2 remaining tracks: 'Outside In' and 'Racing the Hours'.
Have a good weekend;)

24th April - a date to remember...

...the band did one of the most enthusiastic gigs on 24th April 2001, it was the release party of our debut album 'Fiction Edge'...7 years ago!
Here stands a review on the day after the show: http://www.dprp.net/concrev/forgottensuns.htm

Today we are on studio recording the 3rd album. Mike spent the last 2 days around his world of keyboards recording 'Mind Over Matter', 'News' and 'Outside In'.
I'll go in for my guitar parts on 'News' and 'Nanoworld' this afternoon. Nuno did 'Nano' on monday with great new approaches and extra bass solo:)

Everything is ok according to our schedule and the work will go on until 15th May...I'll add some pics on following posts.

Studio Update - one week

Dear friends,

we are deliverin' the goods at the studio in order to get the best of us. It's been intense in many ways...we're delighted with the performances and sounds! On this subject, Mike has been the recording tech of the moment and he's been very meticulous with EQ's and gate tightness, so I think that many of the credits for the recording quality are his exclusive;)
It's really a great feeling to sense that things are not yet mixed and already sound so good...

We've been in touch with Daniel Flores in Sweden so we're aiming middle May to send the material for mixing.

We have already recorded 6 tracks with full bass and drums, 4 tracks with all crunchy guitars and 4 tracks with all keyboards. We're close to finish the first half of the recording process.
Right now, while I wrote these lines Nuno is on studio recording some cool bass slaps.

There will be some news soon on our website so stay tuned for more info...
