Hey Dudes!
Thanks for joining SONIC SYNDICATE IN THE STUDIO! We are now on day two, but don't worry we've had the cameras rolling non-stop since we arrived and I'm going to give you an update on what happened yesterday!
DAY 1 - "MAKING A MONSTER!"
We loaded up our bus with gear until it was bursting and made our way to Bohus Sound Studios in Kungälv, Sweden early Monday morning (famed for recording music giants Europe, Abba amonsgst others).
When got to the studio we went to work straight away as John, our drum technician and the legendary US producer Toby Wright (Kiss, Korn, Motley Crue, Slayer, Stone Sour) started creating the ultimate drum sound to make this record really pop right out of the speakers!
So that means the rest of us just sat around with our hands down our pants, right? WRONG! With the anticipation of the new album growing we decided to constantly film footage for Sonic TV, Robin did an interview with GT/Expressen, and we're approving artwork for the new album. Its all GO, GO, GO!
"Phew! That was tough stuff, but i'm glad we took the time to do it... my kit sounds amazing already! Let's celebrate with pizza!"
- John, Sonic Syndicate
DAY 2 - "RUDE AWAKENING!"
*RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE, CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!, BANG BANG! BANG!*
"What the fuck is happening?!" I shouted as when I woke up this morning! The whole room was shaking, I was in such a deep sleep I forgot where the hell I was! It was a brutal way to be woken up but I have got to say that the drums are sounding furious! He's already 4 songs tracked and we're ahead of schedule! Good job, John!
(John finishes for the day and gives the horns of triumph!)
(Toby at the console doing what he does best.)
"I've been a fan of Toby's work for years. I grew up listening to Korn, Sevendust, Slayer and Taproot, and now I am sat next to this dude and he is doing our new album! This is the shit dreams are made of!"
- Nathan, Sonic Syndicate
