News update
The mix has been cancelled and the release of "Time" is delayed even more. I´m sorry to disappoint everyone...again, but the album is not gonna be released this year. And unfortunately Nino has the Sonic Pump Studios booked full for this year, so we might have to think of something else.
Reason for this delay is that, I´ve set the bar really high on this album, but my equipment aren´t even close what I need to work faster. I have to push the gear what I have to the limits to get the best out of them and I have to do a LOT of workarounds which is very time consuming. Then all the thousand technical problems added into the mix isn´t helping. Basically every piece of gear has been broken at one time or another during the making of this album, feels like there´s a curse. Takes ages to solve the problems and send the stuff back and forth making the warranty changes. All this has made me very frustrated and un-inspired. Hasn´t helped with my stress about the deadlines either, slowing me even more. I work the best when I´m happy and lots of times I haven´t been. It´s been the most difficult record to make in my life. The album is very huge, I don´t know if it´s gonna fit even in the 74 minutes of a CD. The track count is very high, about 200 tracks per song. So it´s almost like two albums in one (or three Slayer albums). But I´m gonna finish this, no matter what.
Now some update of the album progress: All the drums, bass and all guitars (rhythms/melodys/solos and acoustics) has been recorded (probably some add ons will be recorded when the synths and vocals are done). Then I´ve pretty much finished with the intro, that I´ve decided to include on the album. Really atmospheric and huge with some magical Japanese influences. I´ve also started to compose and arrange the synths. I´m trying to avoid the basic (and boring) layering chord stuff and create something really cool to boost the magic of the songs into new dimensions. I haven´t been able to start singing yet, because my preamp and mike "died", but hopefully soon I can. There´s been a demand to know what is going on, so there we have it. Unfortunately the news ain´t always good.
I wish you all a great summer! (But sadly, it´s gonna be a Wintersunless summer).

I went to my local guitar shop once again yesterday, and they had actually gotten in an Ibanez JEM77bfp ! I tried it and actually enjoyed it quite alot, i like the general feel (very similar to my jem) but i actually liked the sound more, and since it has a maple fretboard it is pr0nz.
And i tried the Caparison horus through the same amps, and i can honestly say that i didn't like the sound at all, which is a shame, since it looks killer and has a great feel.

I prefer the look of the horus (the applehorn is awesome too), but i don't like the dellinger that much. Also, if i were to get one ever, i'd like to have a single coil in the neck!
This applehorn is awesome.

You probably wouldn't like the sound of the Horus because the stock pickups in Horus's pretty much suck ass. I haven't tried a Horus to back up this claim, but there's loads of Caparison users on the bmusic.com.au forum that use Horus's, and almost none of them keep the stockies in (Apparently they sound really weak). Though the PH-R in the Dellingers and TAT's sound really good (I'm really enjoying the PH-R so far in my TAT). I think you'd like the Horus even more if you got to try it with some nice pickups.

Yeah, that could be it. I actually noticed that there was a big difference in output from the JEM (who most likely has evo's) and the Horus. Still, if i'm buying a guitar for ~2000 i don't want to change the pickups.

That's Eklundh's guitar right? Looks very nice!
