All the drum tracks are now played and on the way to Karhula rock city´s SouthEastSounds studios hard-disk!
It was 4 days full of soundchecking, x-box soccer, pizzas and kebabs, conan schwartzenegger, some kind of monsters, winning, losing, yoga(=only jarmo), lager...and last and least some drumming too.
Sound Supreme studio and the lounge is really too nice place to be, so we hardly saw any Hämeenlinna fresh air on the outside during these days. Only the pizzahouse and the supermarket of the next block we´re interesting enough, but we decided that´s really enough about the sightseeing in Hämeenlinna for us. This was mainly due to the X-box and Pro Evolution Soccer 5. We, the old guys, maybe should buy some toys to our home so we wouldn´t be this addictive when some soccer games are in the same room with us. PES maybe saved the OG album and it gave us a nice change to shout it out loud and beat the sofa when the losing time came... :)
Harri also visited us on the studio, produced some drum fills to the wild-side and shot also some video documentary footage from the sessions, coming later. Our beloved pal Olli Lappalainen, the first singer of OG and the dude behind all the OG artworks ever, visited us also on the studio and we were having a nice time to relax and plan the artworx to this new album.
Jarmo had some red light fear on the studio. He played like "Remu" everytime when the recording was off, but had some psychic panic when the red light was on. We thought that we need that band psychiatrist from the "Some kind of Monster" Metallica documentary to help Jarmo here...
On the first day, when we were soundchecking the dude was on fire, we just "little bit experimented" the recording and already half of the album was done during this soundcheck. Next days when we were "really" recording, that red light panic mania occurred, but after a while it was solved with Jarmo´s Yoga activities and Karhu lager beer. Indeed almost all of the drum tracks used on the album have been recorded whether during the soundcheck or powered by large amounts of Karhu lager. But the stuff rocks, and of course it rocks then!
Tomorrow then is starting the search of the guitar sounds and bass sounds at Karhula...
Jarmo on the wildside.
