After weeks of downtime we're back at D-Studio, continuing the recordings. Well, with downtime I meant most of the time has been downtime, but Tonmi and Jassi (from D-Studio) have been mixing and editing what we got so far.

Half of us went to Germany to rock out Wacken Open Air, which was again one of the most brilliant high points of the year. Excellent bands this year - we actually had to watch like ten gigs and couldn't just party endlessly - how dare they! I must mention at least Type O Negative, Moonspell, Samael, Dimmu Borgir, Therion and Lacuna Coil - all of which threw excellent gigs!

So we entered the artistic battlefield on the 13th of august with a schedule where in the mornings Jasse and Lilli would mix and in the evening we'd record more stuff. We started with acoustic guitars and had them done on wednesday. Next, on thursday, we'll start recording guitar solos and next monday we'll start with my vocals.

I almost finished all lyrics, and at this point the song titles are as follow: Scion, Zenith, Untold, Ouija, Scarlet, Slither, Whisper, Tantrum and Spellbroken. And the bonus track will be a cover song.

Great being back on the horse!
