[James Murphy]

here it is... the Abigail Williams - "In The Shadow Of A Thousand Suns" E-card.

the "About" page has a cool write-up and the "Listen" page streams lengthy previews of each track on the album.

 

[Damian B]

I am really looking forward to this album! The keyboard player is amazing

EDIT:

Their drummer (Sammus I think?...) is really good as well. He used to play in Suspyre and Mutiny.

 

[KeithTidd]

I'm liking it. I dig the synth sound on acolytes, it reminds me of aryeon.

 

[jeffadies]

I know it doesn't affect the music, but on my MBP the writing on about is tiny.. not very good practice by candlelight if they want to reach all demographics.

Cool stuff though, should be a great album.

 

[F.E.T]

I´m buying as well! Killer songs and killer production!

 

[JoshSylosis]

Cant wait to get my hands on this

Congrats Ken and James

Wow, really great sounds. Great band and great production James.

Were rhythms the JSX exclusively? Speakers? Any boost?

Sounds like EMGs. Sorry for so many questions, I'm just REALLY diggin' this production and tone.

Caparison Horus with 85 in the bridge -> TS9 -> 6505+/Framus Cobra -> Mesa Oversized -> SM57 -> ADL600 from what Ken told me, for rhythms. Leads I believe were the same chain, just with a JSX instead of the 6505+ or Cobra.

 

[James Murphy]

i used the horus for my guest solo and ken used it for some melody overdubs...but the rhythms were all with my Angelus.. it also has an 85 in the bridge. DSS3 got the rest of it right.

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Cool, thanks dudes. Can't wait for this album!

-Joe

 

[JeffTD]

My bad on that Angelus/Horus mixup - I was imagining the Angelus in my head!

James, Ken mentioned that the orchestra sounds were EWQLSO Gold, the organ was from Logic, and that the piano was from a Yamaha S90, but what'd you guys use for the awesome synth lead-ish parts in the title track and The Departure?

 

[GeertSamuel]

Wow, sounds badass again. I still once in awhile return to your myspace to listen to the Daath you mixed!!


P.S. James, check your myspace inbox, your UM inbox was full so I send you a message there.

 

[James Murphy]

what'd you guys use for the awesome synth lead-ish parts in the title track and The Departure?

you'd have to ask Ashley (Ellyllon) about that.... she gave me that on disc with that sound .... since she actually played all her synth-lead and all her piano parts, rather than programming them, i had no midi to replace the sounds... but i didn't want to anyway, i liked them just as they were.

 

[LydonB]

Really awesome stuff.
