Ok so we haven't posted anything in awhile, so I thought I'd just give a quick update. We've been recording/mixing over the last month @ New Fidelity Productions in Cincy, on Springrove. The whole experience has been fantastic. Since starting up around 2010, we've done a lot of home recording ourselves, but we're relatively new to the actual studio environment. Chris Madine, who's recording, mixing and engineering the album for us, has been very accomadating, helpful and friendly throughout. This has made our first real studio experience very positive, and we'd recommend the studio and his services to anyone.
We were originally going to have a release party for a self recorded EP, but after meeting w/ Rome and Far-I-Rome Productions, we decided to actually hit the studio and lay down an entire album. It really was a good choice, because we didn't realize how many songs we actually had. Over a 15 hr period we fully recorded all parts (overdubs, doubles, etc) of 14 songs in 15 hrs! We were originally hesitant to even agree to 10, but I don't think we truly assessed how much we have written over the last couple of years.
So as not to let the hard work we put into the recording of the original EP go to waste, we've released it for free download, entitled Decapitated in Space EP, at our bandcamp site (http://dinothunder.bandcamp.com/releases) so go pick it up! We re-recorded a few of the songs on it for the upcoming album, so this is somewhat of a sneak peak.
As for the comics we mentioned in the last post, we had to take a step back from that for a little while. Our hands have been pretty full w/ the album and Ep so little time remained for this (we have pathetic minion day jobs as well, folks!) However, we have the storyline written up for one segment and some rough storyboards started, so don't write it off! We'll probably have some draft of it ready by the end of the year, if not sooner.
Anyway, the album is sounding really good and we're really excited. The album release will be in June, but we're waiting to announce the particulars. But I will say that it's going to be @ one of our favorite venues w/at least a couple our favorite local bands....
That is all..(for now)
