Slacker
I moved into the studio last monday. Â Things are moving at a slow pace. Â It’s taking me about 2-3 days per song. Â I have one full song done and about 3 other songs at about 60% complete.Â
Â
As you read in Matt’s post, I had the pleasure of slacking this past weekend. Â It ended in rager fashion on Monday night in Buffalo. Â Thanks again to Drew “Crazy Town” Stafford for showing Matt and I a wonderful time.

Update
we have been working in shifts to get this record done. jim starts in the morning, rob and matt (when he’s not off at regional sporting events) track mid afternoon -early evening and then I have been coming in to do vocals around 8pm. we are about 40% done tracking right now. chris and i still have a lot of work left but we are confident we’ll finish it this year…haha hopefully by the middle of next month.
Â
Â
we got a new camera and are having a bit of difficulty logging some of the footage so be patient on the webisode front. todd “dead-eye” bell has returned to do some more filming so he should be able to help the problem.Â
Â
oh yeah, we have been filming for a dvd to come with the new record.Â
Â
time to battle the arctic wasteland that used to be cleveland and hit the studio, write more soon.

Dear Diary
Things are going well here at the ol’ studio. Today I finished working on the fifth of fourteen songs we’re recording, and Matt is working on number six right now. My opinion on how things are sounding is….”HUGE”. You really never fully understand how technically demanding a riff is until you try to lay it down for good. A lot of this stuff is hard man- but totally catchy at the same time. I think it was Mr. Eddie Van Halen who once said, “Man I wish we could tour first, and then record the record”! And thats because after you’ve been on the road month after month, playing the songs over and over again, you’re always much better at them individually, and as a band, then you are when you record them. But oh well… we’re trying our best here, and I think everyone is going to appreciate it come April.

Drums Are Done (Thank God)
Hey everyone,
I finished tracking drums for the new record last night, and am quite relieved to be done. It was done in three days, with the first day was being half set-up and getting drum tones, and then hammering out four tracks that night. The last two days I did five songs per day.
I always try to up the ante on each record, and I think there is definitely some cool new ear candy on this one. I can’t say that its as dramatic as the difference between Impossibility and Resurrection, where its the first time I attempted some blast beats on a record. The differences here are a bit more subtle. I look forward to the feedback on what everyone thinks.
Well I’m off to the Garden State to spend some extended time with my girlfriend, her cats, and the local gym. It’ll be nice to not have anything to fret about, until my impending booze and pill ravaged flight halfway across the world next spring.
Andols
