DAY 1. 28.10.08

Epic hail from the dark corridors of Finnvox!!

Things got started last night with intense last minute shopping in the music stores of Helsinki (special thanks to Levytukku), after which we headed to 5 by 5 Studios (former Minor Music) in Pitäjänmäki, a place owned by Matias (Kupiainen) and Perttu (Vänskä) and a few other nice guys, to get the drum set tuned for METAL!

After a good night's sleep we arrived to legendary Finnvox Studios with Perttu and Matias around 11 am, already having had an encounter with some berserk metal workers, who questioned our right to park our chariots of fire. In spite of all the reckless mouthbashing the infidels ran for cover after meeting the true spirit of the samurai. At Finnvox, waiting for us was the wicked skinbasher of Tracedawn, Perttu Kurttila, who gave a helping hand to get the drum sound as close to perfect as possible. Thanks Kurttu, you're the man!!!

After getting all the microphones (quite a few of them, actually!!!!) and stuff in place we started with a song called 1000 Swords, and found out the drum sound was so fat it seemed like a sumo wrestler had given a visit. NICE! After 1000 Swords we went for Of Honor, which came together surprisingly smooth. Then it was already time to call it a day.
Looking nice this far, although there are a few quite difficult pieces in line... :|

Just remember... HOMO TULEE!
