HeavyHardMetalmania: MNEMIC - CHECK IN WITH 4th and 5th STUDIO BLOG

Finally we are done tracking all of our instruments, except for vocals, samples and keys. Since we all are into ProTools, we are all contributing more or less with ideas.

Guillaume started tracking vocals today, he is a bit rusty since he didn’t scream for the last couple of months, but I quite like it. His screaming vocals sound, and I am not sure if it’s a good idea to say it, but I will say it, like Michaels at some passages. That’s exactly the first thing that came out of Rune’s mouth when we heard the first tracked song. Kind of weird if I may add, but as long as it sounds good to us, it doesn’t really matter in the end.

The main point of this recording is basically “two brains are better than one” – it has been a more collaborative process, actually it’s been the most collaborative process we have ever undertaken. I guess that is how you learn over the years how to cooperate with your friends, you learn to respect other ideas and everyone takes the constructive criticism, if there is any – no hard feelings, we are all contributing for a greater cause, so to say.

I can’t wait for all of you to hear what’s coming out of this monster!

Song titles so far:

Orbiting

Climbing Towards Stars

Dreamjunkie

The Erasing

March Of The Tripods

Diesel Uterus

….and a lot more to come! Stay tuned!

MNEMIC IN MIXING/MASTERING & REVEALING MORE SONG TITLES

Danish metallers MNEMIC have begun mixing their fourth studio album “Sons Of The System”, for a January 18th release via Nuclear Blast Records. Guitarist Mircea Eftemie states; “We’ve currently nailed five songs out of 15 and we are continuing to nail one song per day, so on later this week the album will be completed – good times.

Some extra song titles for you gays’n'gals:

Elongated Sporadic Bursts

Hero(in)

Within

… and as you can see from the pictures we are having lots of fun here at the Antfarm Studios – we did also nail a bunch of alcohol with these songs.

What can I say, the material is really diverse, the most diverse we have ever made, and I know it sounds cliche to say that, but it really is. We have different inspiration sources nowadays, we are of course still a metal band, but we actually listen to a lot more than just metal. That aspect has contributed to the eclectic and diverse material of this new album.

One more thing that is totally cliche to say; its going to be the best album of 2010 and its going to be the best production Tue Madsen has ever made…. oh yeah!
