DOZER - "Beyond Colossal" - Post-recording bla bla

Dear diary,

I know I promised more photos, but those will just have to wait a few more days as I'm fresh back from the emergency room as I'm writing this, so yeah, I'm quite exhausted. To make a long story short, it seems my body doesn't like me. At all.

Anyway.. on wednesday we were joined in the studio by Jocke (I can't remember his last name) who laid down Hammond on one track (the one without drums & bass). It's the same guy that played on the Revolution Rock & Agents Of Ahriman albums by GREENLEAF. The track is quite dark and a bit melancholy, so don't expect 70's heavy rock organ masturbation all over the place. It sounded phenomenal to say the least and I'm extremely happy with the sound we got. The leslie cabinet sounded so good it's not even funny. All I can say is goosebumps, maaajor goosebumps.

Johan also rejoined us on wednesday to redo the bass for a few sections that were slightly out of tune (as I wrote earlier, it's pretty much impossible to detect when it's just drums & bass).

Thursday (last day of recording) was spent recording the last of the vocals and the last of the guitars, then we listened through the material to see if we felt anything more should be added (and of course we added some more stuff. more is more).

So now I'm back in Stockholm and as soon I feel a bit better I will start mixing this thing.


Stay tuned, rock on, stay in school... aaaand so forth.

DOZER - "Beyond Colossal" - Day 20-22

Dear diary,

Sorry for not posting the last few days, but the cold I thought had gone away came back - with a vengeance. So it's been long sweat covered nights with my whole body just aching like hell sprinkled with massive headaches. Good times (no, not really)!

But onto the news. The recording process is DONE! I'll post pictures and more in-depth news tomorrow cause right now I'm just too tired and have to start packing everything up for the trip back to Stockholm early tomorrow morning.

DOZER - "Beyond Colossal" - Day 19

Dear diary,

Aaaaand we're back! These 3 days off definetely did everyone good. Even though I'm still down with fever & headaches, spirits were up and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that today we got twice the amount of work done that we did in the last few days before the break. Everybody was just mentally exhausted and what's supposed to be fun had almost started to become a chore.
So, today: guitars & vocals! B-I-G surprise, I know. I think Fredrik only has 3 songs left to do vocals on and guitar-wise we're starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel too.
Tomorrow there's actually going to be something else recorded except vocals & guitar, but I'm keeping it a secret for now, so expect pictures and all around fun stuff tomorrow. Yaaaay!
