Another 411 + Asylum

r&m — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:28:43 +0000

A little update while we’re nearing the end of the project :).

We’re in the ‘wrapping up’ phase of both Merge As One, Captain and Jupiter so that’s all good. We’ve been in contact with a venue we’d love to be the host of ‘We Are The Troops’ release party and hopefully we’ll have some more info on that soon! Also, we’ve been finishing up the instrumentals for both cover songs of which one will be included on the split cd; both are going to kick ass :).

That said, we have an update regarding a band participating. Burn Brighter has called it quits quite a while ago, and while that’s a bummer, out of it’s ashes came Asylum which will take Burn Brighter’s place in this project. They play a very melodic kind of metal which will be a great addition to this project, they will be hitting the studio near the end of August.

More soon!

Captain, your ship is sinking, a post-hardcore/screamo quintet from Hengelo will be laying down 4 songs in April which will be nut-bustin’ :).

Solace Within..

r&m — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:37:44 +0000

Hey all, last weekend Solace Within from Hengelo (o) entered the studio and they came prepared :). They play a creative mix of hardcore/metalcore/deathcore/piratecore/j-pop . We’ve tracked 4 songs which sound retardedly awesome already. There’s still some vocal tracking to be done (if this also means gang vocals is still debatable.. XD) on half of the tracks, but maaaaan it’s going to be tasty!

We’ll keep y’all posted!

Never Say Never

r&m — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 08:58:45 +0000

Sweet. Beejeezus.

We had the pleasure of working with these guys (and gal) last weekend and it went super smooth. The songs have an old-school hardcore feel with a metal touch to them topped off by clear, aggressive female vocals. This 4-song EP will be blasting like crazy :).

Happy holidays for now!

Phoenix’ Ashes..

r&m — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 10:46:45 +0000

..Are done! The final mixes sounds absolutely retardedly awesome and will be send to the mastering engineer to be mastered in 3 weeks! Keep an eye out for these guys for sure!

Up next is Never Say Never. We’ll def keep you posted on their status as well!

Rise a Thousand..

r&m — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:00:47 +0000

.. is B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

We just tracked 3 songs this weekend with this incredibly talented band. We’ll be finishing the vocal parts this Wednesday. We’ll keep y’all posted!

Screw Houston, Start Screaming!

r&m — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:38:13 +0000

So yesterday we met up during their rehearsal and got to know them, their songs and their overall sound a bit better. It’s going to be fun recording these guys; we will be recording 2 songs.

Oh and, they’re actually the first band that we’ll record in our own (-brand new- ;)) studio for this project so that should be fun as well. We’ll be sure to keep y’all posted!

Burn Brighter..

r&m — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:56:13 +0000

So last week it was Burn Brighter’s turn to lay down them tracks for their upcoming EP (as well as the split CD ofcourse).

We all agreed that it’s safe to say this EP will do justice to Phil Spector’s term ‘wall of sound’. Keep your ears out for this EP, it’s going to be pretty ridiculous!
