Awright, the recording sessions are over. The tracks are done. The art has been restored. The Dinosaur Metal Manifesto awaits to let to be heard all over the world. May our path be lightened with millions of blessings and prayers. May our path be victorious and filled with glory and praise!!
With this disturbingly religious-sounding opening, I give you the latest info from the camp of the fearless Dino Warriors. So now, back to the planet earth;
The mixing sessions are to be held in next week and the songs should be ready for pressing in the turn of December. Needless to say, once again, we are very pleased with the results. Our live energy has been managed to capture in tape, the way we haven’t managed to do yet.
After the basic tracks had been recorded, we took a two week break to rehearse the vocal parts. That practising paid off, because this time we had the easiest time recording the vocals. All the vocal tracks are second or third takes, whereas they might’ve been seventh or eight takes in the previous albums. Some songs have the most challenging vocal stuff that LS has ever done. With that in mind, we were quite surprised, how easily everything went. The recording of the vocals in total took only 3-5 hours to complete. And of course, with the shirts off.
The three song EP will not knock your budget down, since the price for it will be set around 3e’s.
So everyone - That goes for YOU too!!
Remember the album launch gig at Ravintola Lepakkomies in 12.12.08.
The stage will be shared with D.E.P. (That stands for Dead End Project). A cool band from Helsinki that blends elements of punk and metal in their music. Plus their singer is one handsome hunk with his drive thru headset on. Check them out. Ticket prices are somewhere between 2-3 euros.
For the last, Lost Species salutes Tsibu from LP, who’s turning 30 this week. Good job bro!
I always thought that you wouldn’t turn even 21. We’ll be playing you some Aikuinen Nainen for your b-day.
First of all, sorry that you had to see my naked chest. But it just is too tricky for me to play with the shirt on. Anyways, the recordings except the vocals are done(vocals will be done next week). And once again I am forced to say that the shit sounds hot. I think the engineer and co-producer Tommi managed somehow capture the energy that comes across in our live performances. The recordings went on pretty nicely, the first two songs are second takes. The third song was trickier. I somehow just froze, and couldn't do it. After some serious self motivation (read: drinking) I did the song in next day as a take two. By the way, here's some update with the lyrics: Remember the song that said: Whatsykaah wanaa nounaah??? Well, now the lyrics goes like this: What you got, is all I know yeeeh. All you got is what I know yeeh yeeeaah?? You decide which ones better.
I promised you the gigs, well here you are. The album release gig is held in 12.12.08 at ravintola Lepakkomies, Helsinki.
See you there,
Misha
Markus putting down final bass solos on the songs:
HELLYEAH! "Strap it up Boy" and "Bass Solo" are done, except the vocals! (by the way songtitles are not final). Today we are going to record the last song for the cd("Fuck you and fuckin die"). We tried it yesterday, but it is a tricky song, so today we are going to wet our balls in it!
WELCOME - TERSE! LOST SPECIES started to record their next release!
Today was the first day at the studio. This time we are recording at DETUNES studio, which is owned by Mishas friends in Helsinki. Tommi & Arto are the dudes behind the wheel, thanks guys in advance! Today was pretty hectic, after the basic rouding-rouding-rouding - we started checking the sounds and after a couple of hours later we had three songs recorded(drums, bass, guitars). I don't think those takes are the final takes, but still the vibe was good. Overall everything went down pretty smoothly, looking forward what tomorrow brings. Hopefully these songs will kick the living shit out of everybody - music wise + sound wise!
