CATARACT recording new album

[Gaunerin]

Blowout sale
First off, we are clearing out our old merchandise. We’re more or less giving it away, but not for free haha! We will add pictures of the old items to the shop, including the prices – so make a hit as long as stocks last. If you order new stuff we will add a little something (i.e. a shirt) for free if you spend more than 30 EUR and a big something (i.e. a sweater) if your order exceeds 60 EUR. Please do not forget to mention the desired size if its not already given through your order and please note that we do NOT have ALL sizes for the blowout items in stock.

New release in the making!
We are currently working hard on our next and fourth full length. We went to eversound studios last weekend and recorded a demo version of ten finished tracks - and it turned out just great. If you liked “With Triumph Comes Loss”, you will like the new stuff! We’ll add some final touches to those songs and we’ll also finish the remaining tracks and then we’re off to the studio at the end of January. Again, we’ll join forces with Tue Madsen who also produced our last album. We’ll keep him busy for the whole month of February and we’re sure this will be a killer recording again! We’ll be writing more about the studio session in the next newsletter, as we’ll send it our by mid February when we’re done recording the basic tracks. We’ll also try to update our webpage during the studio, however, the session is a little bit more important. We also hope we can confirm a release date by then. As for the cd, we’ve got the layout almost done by now. We also did some photos on the roofs of Zurich and in the pits of the Kon-Tiki pub to go with it, plus a new design for the webpage is in the making and will be released with the cd. We’re thinking about adding a guestbook – keep checking back so you see what’s going on.

studio update

“A sunny but freezing hello from Denmark to all metalheads worldwide!!! This is the fourth day of sweating, hitting, crunching, tuning, cracking, thrashing and swearing care of cataracts latest mission - recording the follow up to "with triumph comes loss" in Tue Madsen's Antfarm Studios. We're progressing amazingly well so far, all drum tracks have been pounded into bits during the first three days of this session. today we gave those tracks the final check to set everything on GO for guitars, bass and vocals;

and let us tell you, the drum sound will be huge! We also used time to work on the guitar sound, recorded some bits here and there to see what it sounds like. Working with Tue - once again - is fantastic and very productive, even though he's giving us a hard time and loads of "you can do this better" during the process. we were kinda surprised about how much he has incorporated into our demo recordings, giving us loads of ideas and alternative views on what we will do during the recordings. we can be sure that he, as much as we do, wants this album to be the best and most brutal cataract album ever. and we can tell you, we're on the right road to that.

We'll get back to ya - we want to watch some metallica dvd's now!”
