Manegarm Checks In From The Studio

Manegarm has checked in with the following update from the studio about recording a new album:

"All bass parts are now done, both for the acoustic and for the 'metal' songs. Our good friend John has already done some rough mixes of the acoustic songs and it sure sounds great already.

"Next up for the acoustic songs is violin recordings where we will get some great help from Martin Björklund who helped us out on our previous album 'Legions of the North.' The violin has been a very special and important 'ingredient' in Manegarms music for many years and it's always a great pleasure to record the violins and hear our songs come to life in a 'Manegarm way.'

"On Sunday we will start rigging the guitar amps once again because now it's time to record some smoking guitar melodies. A lot of things are in progress as you can see but that's the way we do it! This will be amazing friends!! Take care & have a rawking weekend!"

A previously released video report from the studio for this same album track process can also be found at this location.

They certainly don’t get mentioned in the same breath as Celtic Frost and Mercyful Fate too often by entry level self-proclaimed experts very much. It also marks the first time Sunday Old School has looked at an Italian band, and who better to represent the beautiful country than one of the heaviest bands of their time, Bulldozer? More...
