Studioreport from Tarek "MS" Maghary:

HAIL!!! I would like to keep you up to date here about  the production of our new album , because it is very important for us that you all participate on the magic of the Development of our Songs, because  we make this album for you! After we had been occupied in the last months with the Preproduction  which was done in the STEELPRIDE studios, the time had come to start the production. On 9th of June Michael and I drove to the ROXX studio to begin with the drumrecordings.We deceided to record there, because Stefan Kaufmann  knows, how a loud and wild Heavy Metal album has to sound. Listen to the last releases of U.D.O., and you know what I mean. After we had unloaded our equipment in the studio,  Stefan and we drove to the village, where our hotel was, which is about 3 KM away from the studio. There we visited a little pup, in order to enjoy  a few  Beers.

We  then were able to use the entire next day for  setting up the drums and the microphones and I already can tell you, that the sound will blow you away because it is loud, pounding and clear.  That proves once again, that as a band  you should always take your time to set up your drumkit and the drum microphones.

 In the next days Michael hammered  in the new Songs. I have to tell you, it surprises me each time, with which Presision and thundering force Michael plays. Each tone is exactly where it belongs and that makes a pounding sound, when it comes to the finalmix. So thatīs it for the first time. I will keep you up to date about the further process of the production.

Next thing to come will be the the recording of the bass and the guitars and Iīm really looking forward to the beginning of august, when our fanclub members (All Hail MAJESTIC METALHEADS) will sing in the backing shouts.

Keep It True

Tarek "MS" Maghary
