Teloitus... and how it all came together
Welcome to our studio blog! It certainly has taken us a long time to get this far, but yes sir, we're finally recording our second album. First songs were written two years ago and the last one came together only this June. For the past year song-writing has been our main priority and as a result we've spent countless hours at rehearsal room working on this material as a band. It's been a long and hard road, but it was definitely worth it. We can't wait to let you guys hear what we've got to offer!
—Mynni Luukkainen, Kosti Orbinski, Pete Lapio, Tomi Otsala, Timo Häkkinen.

Spank my ass and call me Charles Manson
This will be quick, I promise. We've now recorded all the guitar leads (and they are out of this world!) and Mynni also nailed his last song. We're now going to grab something to eat and then go back to the studio to unleash our special guest vocalist (whose name shall remain a secret for a while longer).
Kuulostaa epävireiseltä länkytykseltä —Hannu ain't a big fan of guitar solos
More rambling, photos and videos tomorrow. The album will be finished tonight, wohoo!

Today we have been mostly drinking and...
Making shitloads of progress here! Kosti tracked the last two songs in the morning and then he and Pete did some additional guitar parts for a couple of songs. We had another nice coffee session at Mika's place, thanks again! All the guitar parts except for the solos have now been tracked and everything sounds pretty damn good. Hannu will still work on the guitar sound at some point and more than likely he will cast a few spells and make everything sound even more crushing. What a hero!
Taitaa olla sellainen harmonia, että on keskivertokuulijalle hieman liian jyrkkä. —Pete went crazy with "Kidutus"
Today we also learned that our album is only around 15 GB is size... Rather pathetic. Also, we had around 27 tracks on the songs before starting to record vocals, whereas Waltari has had 327 tracks on their songs. We really need to do something about this pathetic state our album currently rots in, roit? Don't worry, we will. We will spend the remaining week recording guitar solos and aim for about 666 tracks of solos for each song. How's that?
After some chinese lunch it was time to unleash hell... I mean, Mynni. The aim was to record vocals for a few songs and then move onto the guitar solos, but after Mynni got started, there was no stopping. He did seven songs in one evening! I hear you screaming What a champ, but you gotta remember that he had a magic secret: Jaloviina.
Ei säkeistö voi kestää 12 sekuntia. —Hannu thinks there's something rotten in the state of "Arkku vailla vainajaa"
In matter of days the rough tracks, consisting of drums and bass, have turned into an almost finished album and we're pretty damn thrilled!
Tomorrow it's time for yet another long day. We aim to record all guitar solos and finish Mynni's vocals. Tomorrow is also the day for our special guest vocalist to come and do some amazing vocals for us! Can't wait! Great success!
