On The Rocks

On Tuesday we headed towards "On The Rocks", legendary Helsinki-based Rock-bar to perform with another band called "Morian". Like usual, we arrived early so after carrying a massive load of equipments we went straight to "Picnic Cafe" to have something to eat. Gig itself was a success. We got new listeners and we also sold many albums and T-shirts.



Setlist:
Drifting Away
Dedication
Dead Sun
Fall From The Top
Half Life
Tears & Sorrow
Dialog With Pain
The Times Of Agony
Quicksand

Joke of the day:
"Poliisi laittoi Maijan vilkkumaan" - Jussi Kraft

PS... By the way, here´s picture from WC at our rehearsal place ;D

Guitars...

On Sunday I recorded few guitar tracks with our singer Mikko. These new songs are being called: "Mättöajo" and "Doomipeikko" ;D "Mättöajo" is quite fast song for us and it has more parts than any other song that we´ve composed. On the other hand "Doomipeikko" is slowest song we´ve ever made. It has very "doom-ish" kind of atmosphere...

Now Jarkko can play his drum parts among these guitar tracks.

Summer studio 2007

We have composed new tunes for our upcoming album and all I can say is that these new tracks sound FUCKIN´ HEAVY. Our intention is to record these new tracks at our rehearsing palace at Helsinki, Finland. Because of this we re-arranged our rehearsing room by first throwing all our instruments and other shit out and then bringing them back in ;D We needed some extra place for computers and other recording equipments.

This summer we will use:

- laptop computer
- mics for example SHURE, IBANEZ and CAROL ;D
- LaCie external hard drives
- lots of empty CDr´s
- Digidesign´s Mbox2 and Pro Tools LE
- Behringer´s mixer

These may not impress you but what the hell. Our intention is to make these demos for ourselves so this is pretty important part of making our next album.

Enough for today. I´ll report more later.

Maybe...
