The mixing phase begins

Work on our soon to be released/unleashed 4 track EP continues apace. All the vocals are now tracked and sounding great - Ant's done a fantastic job, and his vocals have a menacing growl about them.

The next stage is to get the mixing of the songs underway.

Onwards and upwards.

Work in Progress...

I'm very happy to report that studio sessions with Nik Hodges are proving to be most productive. In fact, I'd go as far to say we're the most productive we have ever been. We're well on track to having a 4-track EP ready very soon.

More on the progress of our recording sessions very soon...

In The Studio

We have recently been in the studio with top bloke Nik Hodges putting some tracks together, and I'm happy to report that it will not be long before this work bears fruit.

Since my last post we have been busy getting some form of web-presence in place. We've also recently entered a track called "Outburst" in a Side-line.com competition and have also uploaded this to ReverbNation and Soundcloud. It is available via our Facebook band page, which can be accessed via the link above.

We're due to return to the studio very soon, and the mood is currently one of excitement that things are finally starting to happen.

Until next time...

Building the momentum

I've been working on reworking further tracks and have hit upon "the sound" we've been trying to acheive for so long. Planned listening session on Monday to check arrangements, then it's time to track the vocals, as those recorded so far are not up to scratch - exciting times ahead!

Until the next update...

Finally moving out of neutral....

Had a listening session yesterday to "sort the men from the boys". One overriding thing was the amount of bass - some tunes actually have three basslines at once interweaving - needless to say, it sounds immense.

The new drum sounds we're getting into the DAW - by layering several plug-ins and sampling the result. - are also impressive, and no longer have to be drenched in reverb to sound huge. Most excellent.

2011 - A new dawn

Things have been slow on the band front for a while, but are now starting to ramp up. Songs that were tracked last summer and left on the back burner are now coming into focus again following an upgrade of the studio software and plug-ins.

It is hoped that over the coming weeks, these tracks will see the light of day.

We will also endeavour to update the blog more regularly.

Until next time...
