Yet again it’s time to make a small update from the studio in the form of a new video. We have now completed almost all of the instrument tracks, only a couple of guitar tracks needs to be recorded. Currently we are working on the vocal tracks, and everything sounds really good. Check the video and see what we have been up to!

It’s been three weeks since our last update. Initially we had planned to make more frequent updates but we’ve been really busy with our studio sessions. So far everything is going good. Currently we have finished recording all drums, rhythm guitars and bass guitars. Furthermore, we have laid down some additional guitars, lead guitars and synths. We have also started recording vocals on a few tracks. Piece by piece the songs start taking their final form and we are really pleased by how everything sounds so far!

We now present you a video update from the studio including recording of the rhythm and bass guitars. Hope you enjoy it! Keep visiting our site for further updates!

Last week we entered Sonic Pump Studios and started the recordings of the upcoming album. The drums for all ten songs were recorded in three days, and Juffi had a really nice groove the whole time. Our next step is to start working on the guitars. Keep checking our site for further updates.
