I wanted to start this text this way, because it is exactly like these things are happening in our studio, where we\u2019re recording our new album. <\/p>\n
I was remembering our first day here in the countryside, the one we were stuck for good before even reach the place where we would try to compose. If we weren\u2019t sure about what we were doing, we wouldn\u2019t probably have gone forward. <\/p>\n
When I say \u201ctry\u201d, it is because nobody had the faintest idea of our musical future. Now, the songs are composed, recorded, with lyrics and finished. I must say I believe this album has much more mature songs, superior to everything we did so far. If in TROYC we could do something like \u201cCall me in the Name of Death\u201d, with this new album we could stretch our own bounds, with more dramatic and extremely musical songs. Melody and lyrics are also superior to those of TROYC, and this time there wasn\u2019t one which was not exhaustingly passed by the Memory Test, which consists in creating a melody and not recording it. Should we be unable to remember it in the next day, it was not good enough. Ah, a very good thing was that Fabio and Martinez also helped with the lyrics\u2026 And that was a huge relief, since writing our lyrics without pressure is a good thing\u2026 On the other hand, having to compose because the leading vocal doesn\u2019t have anything to record anymore is a terrible thing\u2026 There were days I kept writing for five hours and then threw everything away\u2026<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t have any free time, since we worked 14 hours per day, always trying to achieve our best performance. Sometimes, we did this at any expense (including our sanity), but we always put the music above us all\u2026 The result should be, at least, the best\u2026 <\/p>\n
We\u2019re currently in the \u201cautists\u201d house, and we had to learn how to deal with our little quirks. We can now deal with everything! Or almost everything\u2026My charms are always with me: a picture of Dean Castronovo (which I have since 1995) and a tiny action figure given to me by Juliana (my daughter). She presented me with it in order to give me luck in every presentation, saying the figure had a hand as big as mine\u2026 I take this figure with me whenever I need things to be right\u2026 <\/p>\n
We started composing in February, and since then, I wasn\u2019t working on that for only two weeks, when I went to Erechim to record with Holiness\u2026 Stephanie, Holiness\u2019s leading vocal, was in Sao Paulo to record her part in our album\u2026 We also have another two \u201crecording guests\u201d, but I\u2019ll leave you curious\u2026 <\/p>\n
Now we had to the next stage, audio mixing and mastering. I can\u2019t wait to see Tommy Newton working\u2026 Before mixing in Celle-Germany, I\u2019ll go to Italy for some Workshops\u2026<\/p>\n
Before ending, I must say I saw my old friends (Martinez, Mello and Fabio) outstanding themselves, and I\u2019m more than amazed by our new fellow, Humberto. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll all think that way when you hear our album\u2026 The main question will be: how many lead singers are there in this band?<\/p>\n
Another crucial role was played by Mr. Adair Daufembach\u2026 I\u2019m sure he will never be the same\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
