Day 14 – Last Day in Heaven aka Raining is Evil
All good things must come to an end. And so the album sessions near the end too. For the last day we have just vocals for two songs, backing vox for a few and some intensive listening to decide if the songs need yet something. So here’s how it went down; I had stayed away [...]
Days 12/13 – Incarnated Solvent Abuse
Of course in every session you have to have these days, when people are coming to the studio at the wrong time or at all and everything gets a bit more or less confusing. It was the FME (Finnish Metal Expo) weekend so lots of chaotic organizing as Tommi had 2 gigs he had to [...]
Day 11 – 24 Hour Party People
Tommi was back in action and blurted out 2 more songs this day, as he is just so damn professional. He didn’t even sweat a bit. Then a thing we all were waiting for happened. A listening party! When the guests arrived it was like these guys were from outer space or something. Jonas was [...]

Tommi called and he could barely speak because the vocal tracking frenzy earlier this week. He was in real pain and [...]
Day 09 – Beginning of the End

Wilska & co also did some epic dusseldorf thrash choirs on the backing vocal [...]
Day 08 – Vi Är Killar Gubbar Som Dubbar … Another Manic Monday
After taking a short breather (suojakännit ja unta iltapäivään) on Sunday from the toils and troubles of the studio, I skipped to the studio around noon (well a bit later after missing the ferry) to kick in the last bass tracks before Mr. Rotten begins his work. It’s easy when you know it. We tracked [...]
Days 06/07 – Was Ist Das Lederhosen
Wilska, Jani and I have been busy bees doing bass and guitar tracking for the past two days and it has been insane. When I mean insane I mean totally crazy shit. The tracking pace is ludicrous and Jonas wants perfection. So sometimes he puts on his lederhosen and leather baseball cap and becomes an [...]
