Last days in the studio!!

So.. we're finally done recording! ..actually we finished it already on June 2, but after that we had to hurrt down to Sweden Rock Festival so that's the excuse for being late :-)

It has been some bisy days -and nights- in the studio. But also this week we had some nice visitors; Adde from Hardcore Superstar came by to secure that Nicki hadn't stop practicing the drums even though she is done recording! He seemed to be pleased!

I have had some lonely nights in the studio with myself and the guitar, to finish everything on time. It has been an interesting experience. Most of the time me and my guitar went along well...

...and here am I with Jockes Gibson Baryton guitar, taking pictures of myself.. because it's a cool guitar and I don't know when I will see her again!! :-) And here are the other beauties that you'll hear sing on the album..
..hope no one gets a chock to see the acoustic guitar in the middle. But she was so happy to finally get the chance to participate on a CB recording so I just had to put her there.. And she IS makin noise on the album so you better prepare to hear some different tunes as well ...

It started out well, just changing strings..

But of course that damn white little shitty thing broke.. But it ended out well, Klara ran to a musicstore and got some new ones for me.
After all the guitars were recorded it was finally time for the vocals. It went all good and was really fun, couldn't get a better coach than Mats Levén .. !! I'm a bit sad there aren't any good pix at all from the vocal session but I guess I scarred everyone away from the studio room with my angry screams so no one dared to go in there. Nicki did some good tries at least, she's a brave girl!!

We're honoured to have Mats MAXX LAXX on backing vox ..and who knows what more..!!??

..And on the last day, we requested some guests in the studio, guitartech Våfflan and live sound engineer Mattias-Tobias was called in to add some final backing vox and listen to some new tunes that they're gonna hear 'til their ears are bleeding in the future to come..

..and Mats brought a cake to us the last day!! SWEET!
..well.. it's not really done yet.. Jocke and Mats have just began the hard work putting all the noise together tryin to make music out of it! The mixing will be finished in about 2 weeks, then it's time to start rehearse again for the live gigs hell YEAH!!!

End of the studio diary, next report will be from the best rock'n'roll party in the world; Sweden Rock Festival!!!!
