Deceiver sent forwards

Just got the guitars recorded for "deceiver". Quite some garage going, which feels fitting for the song ...

Now there will be a necessary break as I'm on a holiday trip. Timo might be recording bass and vocals in the meanwhile already, we'll see what happens. I originally thought this "z-files" package would be fast thing to be done, but as the bonus covers idea took fire, it will take at least July. Perhaps late July release is possible, it depends on time and inspiration. More news about progressing as things happen.

Enjoy the summer!

More noise

Programmed the drums for Napalm Death's "deceiver" already late last week. Haven't had time to record the guitars for it yet, but I suppose I'll get them recorded in coming days (hopefully). Then it's summer holiday time, one longer trip ahead, and as holiday passes on, this little project fun goes forwards, too. Not decided yet how many "bonus covers" we'll be doing overall. There's one idea how it might be done, then the overall amount of bonuses could be as much as 7. But as it's grind covers, ... the more the merrier?

Grind evening

Next bonus coversong got started and my parts (drum programming + guitars + solo) recorded tonight. Very promising, chaotic cover base. I was thinking some early Napalm Death tune would had been the next choice, but Repulsion mood jumped in and that's it. Perhaps ND is the next one. I have a feeling that these bonus covers we are making for the Z-files package, will be more or less chaotic grind stuff, to counterbalance the actual Z-files material, which is somewhat grindy only occasionally. Well, that explains the name of Z-files, too, don't you think? Far from even B-sides!

PS: Few days ago I uploaded one covertune (which will appear on "Z-files") to youtube.

"Z-files"

I'm working on a collection of songs that haven't been properly released previously. Most of the songs are coversongs. Oldest one dating back to 2003. Currently it looks like the amount of these "rarities" will be 8 songs - but we are also making some coversongs as bonus material to the package. Autopsy and early Napalm Death are certain choices already and well, today I already recorded one essential Autopsy coversong. I created the coverart for the "Z-files" already yesterday as I found a fitting picture I took back in 2002. The package will also contain lyrics and information when the songs were recorded, with what lineup, and why, etc.

Timo is currently busy with other soundworks and stuff (for example Torture Pulse and Tuhkaus) so he will be able to record the bassguitars and vocals in July at earliest. It looks like this release could be out there in let's say August or so. If things happen to go exceedingly well, it might happen in July already.
