EXUMER Studio Update - The Guitar Sessions

Here's an update on the recording sessions for the new EXUMER album, produced by Waldemar Sorychta (e.g. Sodom, Unleashed, Samael and The Very End). Drummer Matthias Kassner is again reporting from the frontline: 

The Guitar Sessions 

Day 6, 06/14/2011 
Started setting up and miking the guitar stuff. We tried different amps to see which sound is best for the record: 
Engl Invader 150 
Engl Ritchie Blackmore Signature 
Peavey Vypyr Tube 120 

Ended up with Ray's good old Marshall Jimi Hendrix: 28 year old amp from back in the days, which is still the best and that's why we use it for the record - as well as for Rising From The Sea and Possessed By Fire - SAME AMP!!!! 

We also use the matching 4x12" Marshall cabinet from that time, which has been half afloated, but is still working and doing great. Sounding better than the newer version we also gave a chance. Had the golden shot with the first miking-trial - so we used this setup, because the sound was a blast from the first second!! Some test-recordings and we finished the first song at the end of the day. 


Day 7, 06/15/2011 
Recorded 3 tracks. Sound is killer! Drum and guitar mix is really amazing so far, and so is the atmosphere in the studio. I joined the studio in the evening and we fixed some minor things in different parts to make it really special, precise and sounding perfect. Closed the studio doors at 1.30 at night... 


Day 8, 06/16/2011 
Another 3 tracks done without any special occurences. Just a short day because of several different schedules of everybody involved. Almost done, we are going to finish rhythm guitars tomorrow! 


Keep updated on the recording process and see 'The Recording Sessions Blog' at the official EXUMER Facebook page

HACKNEYED - New Track 'Maculate Conception' Available For Streaming

The brand new HACKNEYED track 'Maculate Conception' is available for streaming at this location. 'Maculate Conception' is taken from the band’s third album and Lifeforce Records debut 'Carnival Cadavre' to be released August 22nd in Europe and August 30th in North America! 

Commented HACKNEYED on their upcoming Lifeforce Records debut: 

“It’s hard to believe. After two years in-between rehearsal room, shows, being on tour and pre-production we finally managed to get our third album ready to launch. It’s named 'Carnival Cadavre' and will be tested in human experiment at the Summer Breeze Festival in Dinkelsbühl on August 19th 2011 for the first time. Once again we produced our album with Corni Bartels at the Weltraum Studios and Björn Goosses (Killustrations) again purified our disc with a stunning artwork. 

We added another fine portion of groove and brutality for you and showed once again what Hackneyed is made of. With our new label Lifeforce Records we found the matching partner and we’re really looking forward to our future cooperation. We’re curious where our journey with the 'Carnival Cadavre' will lead us within the next weeks and months. And perhaps soon it’s also close to you they say: The Circus’ Back in town!!!”

FINAL DEPRAVITY - Metalfest Germany 2011: Bilder und Bericht auf metal.de

FINAL DEPRAVITY @ 

Metalfest Germany 2011  

27.-29.05., Dessau 

Ein Auszug des Berichts 

von Sarah Fleischer 

für www.metal.de 

Final Depravity/ Dennis "Blaze" Baron

Während die Besucher des Metalfest Österreich mit Regen zu kämpfen haben, verbringen die Fans in Dessau eine trockene Nacht mit angenehmen Temperaturen. All denen, die ein wenig über den Durst getrunken haben, wird jedoch keine allzu lange Nachtruhe gewährt, um den Kater aus dem Körper zu vertreiben. Nicht nur, dass der große, gelbe Feuerball die Zelte innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu Brutkästen werden lässt, hindert am Aufholen des nötigen Schlafes. Um Punkt 10:00 Uhr morgens tritt der Spielmannszug Blau-Weiss Roßlau an, um die Metalheads zum Frühshoppen mit Pauken und Trompeten zusammenzutrommeln. Dem Krach nach zu urteilen, der stark an den Kölner Karneval erinnert, begibt sich der Musikverein einmal quer über den Campingplatz, um letztendlich im Zelt auf der 2nd Stage einzukehren. Den Geräuschen nach zu urteilen haben die Metalheads ihren Spaß und so lässt auch ein imposantes und irgendwie amüsantes "Wall Of Death"-Gebrüll nicht lange auf sich warten. 

Final Depravity/ Oliver Hey

So wach gerüttelt wird die erste Band des Tages FINAL DEPRAVITY von einer ganz netten Menschentraube vor der Main Stage begrüßt. Die jungen Thrash Metaller aus Gelsenkirchen haben allerdings auch einiges zu bieten. Gerade von der Tour mit ONSLAUGHT und SUIDAKRA zurückgekehrt, stecken die vier Jungspunde, von denen sich so mancher Altrocker eine Scheibe abschneiden kann, voller Tatendrang und Motivation. Nicht nur Sänger und Gitarrist Dennis "Blaze" Baron macht am Mikroständer eine gute Figur, obwohl er durch das gleichzeitige Zupfen an seiner Klampfe, was ihn mit einer enormen Leichtigkeit von den Fingern geht, nicht sonderlich viel Bewegungsfreiraum hat. Vor der Main Stage bangt und mosht das Publikum ganz ansehnlich. Darüber hinaus sind auch einige Fans mit von der Partie, die FINAL DEPRAVITY lautstark unterstützen. Viele die FINAL DEPRAVITY zuvor noch nicht kannten, werden sich mit Sicherheit den Namen dieser jungen, talentierten Band merken, die bestimmt nicht ihren letzten Festivalauftritt gespielt haben werden.
