Armageddon March External (Disc)!

There it is, the new album. And it will now be delivered to Swanö first thing tomorrow. That is my first portable hard drive. 80 gigs and made of solid metal (kind of). Vintage FTW.

It actually so happens that Swanö was the one helping me to buy it back in 2004, I think. It has always been insanely reliable and is nowadays used as a safety disc that I store away in the weapon locker in my and Mrs. K‘s flat. Now it was time to bring it out again. I have tons of “The lustrate process” files on there that I need to check. Demo versions of the tunes and whatnot. Ah, the memories. When you put something on this disc it’s bound to be a success.

Now it starts people. Now it starts…

Updates on the mixing process for album 7.

Over at our forums we have started this topic to keep you guys informed about the mixing process. As mentioned previously, Swanö is about to pick up the files at my place any day now. Everything is prepared for him to sink his teeth into and there will be some massive work ahead for Mr. D. After having listened to the raw files for quite some time I can’t even begin to explain how much I look forward to hear what he will cook up for us. Swanö will make everything shine and the details in the music will finally come thru as they should.

Just keep an eye on this topic for all the latest news and the progress of the mix of our 7th album.

Swanö ready to sink his teeth into this album…

A few choice words from Dan and his approach going into the mix of our 7th studio album:

” – I will slaughter a few innocent creatures and pour their blood into all my hardware, so the whole album reeks of death… …and as long as I mix the bass loud enough to make a small village deaf… I am sure he will be pleased.”

Everything will be delivered to Mr. D any day now and then it’s on. 

Wanna know J‘s feelings about the recording of this album? Here you go, straight from the horse’s mouth:

“- The recordings went smooth. You will love it. Thank you. Goodnight and God save the spleen!”

He sure’s got his way with words, haha…

Completion! Time to mix the coming masterpiece!

So, we are finally here. Or at least the big work is done, let’s put it that way. Now we will start mixing this coming monster of an album. Swanö‘s about to be handed everything and will now be putting every inch of his soul into getting us a sound that will absolutely crush. We will spend a few weeks mixing this bastardization and it will be a joyful experience doing so. After listening to the rough files for quite a few weeks it will be insane to hear what Mr. Swanö cooks up mixing wise. That guy sure knows what we are after and as always I will have to bitch about the bass sound until he gets it perfect, as he always does.

The recordings have gone almost according to plan. Ruby got sick when she only had 2 songs left to do which meant we surpassed our personal deadline with a day or 3. But fear not, everything is still going as we want them to. And as the heroine she is, Ruby pulled thru and did an amazing job. Here’s what she has to say about the recordings:

“- It’s a wrap, I fucken did it. After 2 weeks of being sick and with my voice all cloudy due to the weather changes I finally ended my part for this masterpiece! A handful of dark and mysterious songs made my job a bit harder than I thought, but with my head and eyes focused in the dark ( yes, I recorded the album in the dark… no lights), I nailed it and honestly, I did a hell of a job . The songs with me, Tobben, Jörgen, K and all the guests make us practically unbeatable in what we do together as a whole. Magic… Dark one! It’s been a long road, alot of hard work and alot of feelings invested, but in the end it’s more than worth it. To sit here writing to you guys while listening to the songs, makes my heart skip a beat, that’s how strong this album is. What can I say more? Well… just keep waiting because the wait will be more than worth it!

Obrigado !”

We will get back to you during this mixing process and let you know how everything is coming along. We will also reveal guests and whatnot as we move forwards. Still alot of work to be done to make this perfect. but now our part is completed. It’s all in the hands of me and Swanö to make it come out as we want it to. Well, mostly Swanö coz i will just bitch and nag about details until he feels like he wanna punch me in the face. But that’s the great thing with D, he’s excellent in all areas and got patience like a muthafucker. I guess his salary helps too, haha…

Anyways, stay tuned for more updates.

Another short update on the progress…

Ruby‘s been plagued by sore throat due to the flue or something along those lines so she’s off to the studio as soon as humanly possible. Here’s to speedy recovery, kid. Mike Wead just informed me that the solos are about to arrive any second now. Fantastic. After those are here, all that is left is those 2 tunes from Ruby, and then it’s time to mix this bastard.
