We’re doing an album this summer (july to be exact) with Sean Genockey (Reuben, Engerica) at Rockfield studio in sunny Wales (love that place) :]

We’ll be tracking it live which is really exciting, and totally different to how we’ve done things in the past.

Also, Sean has a fantastic mustache which I’m fairly sure is the secret behind his records sounding so ace.

They were all recorded at home. :]

2009 (Demos for CTAFB)

Ocean :

This was the last song we wrote before heading into the studio to record CTAFB. I wasn’t really happy with my lyrics or some of my vocal line cause I rushed it a bit. Still a great song though! Just that my bit’s are a bit shit.
I love the hook in the chorus and the middle 8 is ace.

Against the Wall :

We started writing this song before recording YEWB. Consequently it was one of the first songs to be lined up for Curious Tales..
I think we wanted this to go on the record right up until the month before we recorded. But other songs got written and replaced this. Still a great tune.

Poised with Envy :

This song made it as far as pre-production but didn’t make the record (as did Ocean).

2009 (Demos for YEWB)

Fake It :

I still love this song!! Gutted it didn’t make it onto YEWB but hinesight is a wonderful thing. We’ve played it acoustic a few times. A clip of one of those times is on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMTpiuZVsJY

Shivers and Silence :

Old Song! Written right at the start of the sessions for YEWB. We played it live a few times. We dumped it before pre-production for the record.

If you listened to any or all of them, hope you enjoyed.
If anyone wants to hire me to engineer or produce their record let me know. ;-)

Corey Taylor came in and threw down on our new record. It was fucking sick.

Check out some footage of his work in the studio below.
