Album No.4 ... starting soon!
15th December 2006.
"Getting started... now!
...after extinguishing some Vodka and white whine yesterday evening today we started off early at 12 a.m. in a freshest mood....
Today was a nice melange of seventies rock, heavy metal stuff and disco. Interesting mix, to which I now will add some Whiskey in the studio-own cinema. Tomorrow I will just go on with today´s programme... rocking like hell! Beware... "(Gerit)

"finished...
...all songs are recorded now and i put my Drumsticks away for the Time being. Again, a fine mixture of doublebassattacks, burning drums and a really sweet ballad. Meanwhile my bandmates have found their way to the studio and together we´re going to hang around have some drinks and prepare for the days to come.
See you tomorrow!" (Gerit)

Hello and good evening, some things should not remain unsaid.
First things first: Today Lisa impressed and pleased the whole band wih her unbeatable cooking skills. Secondly, Gerit recorded his drumparts in such a short time, that we should be afraid, the music-police might show up because of speeding. But Mr. Lamm accepted no compromise and nailed the songs down to the point (maybe because he used his own drumset in the studio for the first time, which seems to beat any other studio-drumset by far). Now we have to think hard, how we are going to continue tomorrow. We planned to record some drums, but, ... well... thanks Gerit.
Best wishes, philip

Back home again ...
After having finished the Drumtakes already yesterday with originally more time included for the drum recordings, we had the spontaneous idea of adding some percussions to the songs today. What - as it should turn out finally - was a very good idea. With the feeling of having created good basics for the album we all went back home again into the well-deserved Christmas break. In early 2007 we will continue with the string section. So pop by then again! A merry Christmas for all of you and a happy 2007. It's going to be a good year!!!! (Gerit)

So, the Christmas season is over and again there's news from the studio. Today at noon I went to the Principal Studio - together with Marco and Philip, who is suffering a bad cold - to record the bass parts for our new album. Great surprise: Early in the evening Gerit and Lisa popped by, just in time to witness the final takes. So, for the time being, I say goodbye and hand this report over to my guitar mates. (Nils)

Hello this is Philip,
bringing to you live the beginning of the guitar-recordings:
The basic sound is set, demo takes are recorded... lts have some coffee;-), Marco is jamming around on some DeepPurple Riffs and has to answer some nasty questions from engineer Joerg... Can you be too young to play DeepPurple? And now (15h20), the moment you´ve been waiting for: The first official guitar takes are rolling into the machine to join Nils´ an Gerits perfect work. Nils, that nasty bast***, managed to finish his recordings within 8 hours, yesterday. That means: Pressure´s on for us! We don´t wanna embarrass ourselves!
BUT NOW: Marco makes a damn quick start, can he keep up the speed???
To be continued...

Soooo... now Philip is sitting on the chair... I finished the first song within 1 hour... if I wanted to compete with Nils, I would have to fuel the fire a bit more . But naaaaaaaaaa... we will make people believe we´re doing a punkrock album if we go on like that. After Gerit finishing his drums within 2 days and Nils fulfilling his low pulse duties in one day, Philip and me will surely take some more time here in the beautiful Principal Studios, and if it would be only for the reason of enjoing the big cinema screen some more nights
Best wishes go out to you all, Marco

Good morning everybody!
For ...´s sake... I just realized we didn´t write anything in the last two days! But doing the guitar recordings, time just flies... we are doing some fine little gimmicks, are having a nice guitar sound right from hell, an just fun with it! The rhythm guitars and some solos and leads are finished, right now Philip is striking an old acoustic guitar - anybody who wants to light us a campfire? We didn´t tell much about the studio here (go for www.principal-studios.de), so I will describe our surrounding: It is an old farmhouse, changed into a modern recording studio, and the atmosphere is just great. It is a remote place, but if we wanna party a bit after finishing the job of the day, it is already a nice place here or in Münster, which is the next bigger town. Best wishes to you all!
Marco
