Immolith

Immolith began recording their new full-length yesterday. They came by Friday to load in and do scratch guitars to a click so Saturday, we were able to get drum sounds and go.

I can’t begin to express how happy it makes me when bands record to a click. The whole process is faster, smoother, and the end result is tighter.

This is my first session with the new preamp. It’s cool but I ended up using sending snare top through the Pre 73 and that fourth API channel sort of ended up not mattering. That isn’t to say that the bottom snare (which went through the VP26) doesn’t matter but I don’t think the world would have ended if it had gone through the board. Oh well. An extra channel can’t hurt.

We’re finishing up guitars right now. I’m amazed at what the Carnhill transformer did to the Pre 73. I never quite understood how people used a single 57 for distorted guitar until now, though the R-121 still adds quite a bit of body to the sound and I wouldn’t give it up for the world.

Something exciting happened yesterday: I found a potential new apartment and studio space not far from where I live now. I don’t really want to say much about it beyond that but it is very promising!

That’s it for now. Back to unholy black metal with Immolith!
