I have not posted in a while and I should have. So much has been going on.
Tombstoner got a little side lined do to our 4 track going out on us. We set out to find a replacement only to find out that nothing of any quality could be found for a decent price. We ended up getting an old
Peavey MC
Mak II series mixer. Oh man that thing is the bomb. I don't know how old it is but it's old. It looks like a piece of
furniture but it sounds awesome!!! Zak's drums now come through the mix crystal clear and booming on the bottom end like never before. My guitar sounds much fuller more dynamic. And just think
that's just going into a regular old Hi-
Fi cassette deck. Imagine how good it would sound running into a reel to reel. We have also been experimenting with the Glyn Johns Drum Micing Method, and let me tell you that if you have a good drummer that knows how to play and tune his kit this Method will bring out every nuance of his playing. This mic setup has captured Zak's playing exactly as it sounds live. I've been in a lot of studios and it amazes me that up until now no producer has ever tried this with us.
Well we
defiantly got the stuff now to make a good old fashioned
DIY basement Demo. It's quite hard to do that in this day and age with out spending a lot of money and I can tell you this, we spent less than 100 bucks on everything. We also have some great songs to record to. We have been working on this new one called "Scratch A Match" it is super heavy like Saint Vitus Meets War Pigs kind of heavy. There are no lyrics yet but it's going to be about the Failure of Higher Learning institutions. One
community college in particular and how the brainwashed teachers and faculty educate generation after generation of mindless zombies. I do have some lyrical ideas but nothing concrete yet. But it's based a lot on my reaction to Death Metal and Black Metal bands that have burned Churches. I say why burn a church when schools have done far more damage to you and society than any single church ever could. I don't condone violence of any kind especially arson so don't think
that's what
I'm getting at. I'm just saying that what they did was not only
hate full but down right ignorant of the facts.
More to come stay tuned....
