New Daylight Dies track

Good stuff, once again. Sounds more and more like new era Katatonia (not a bad thing though). Cool use of a the wah for the solo, don't hear that too much in this kind of metal.
 
So I thought I would revive this thread since the record hits Europe today and the States tomorrow.
I have temporarily posted a higher res MP3 here in case you are interested.
As with last time, I recorded everything and Jens Bogren mixed. Let me know if you guys are interested in any specifics about the recording.
Thanks!

That's some good shit man, I remember hearing another album from you guys a while back from a friend of mine. Awesome production and songwriting.

Man, sounds killer Egan - to be perfectly honest, though, I think I prefer the guitar tone on "Dismantling...," it has more presence in the upper mids that I prefer, which I feel these are a bit lacking (probably due to the Mesa oversized cab, if that's what you did indeed use); it's probably just something I'll get used to, though, and it still rocks! The snare sounds fantastic; a great "pop" - how'd you mic it, if you don't mind me asking?
 
Which amps did you use on this for the guitars, 5150 and Triple XXX again? Sounds huge man.

Yep, same amps-- a 5150 II and a XXX but with a meas oversized instead of the old ultra cab that we've used in the past. On DD it was mic'd with a 57 and a 609silver but this time around I used a 57 and an i5.

I'm surprised you are hearing more upper mids on dismantling since I there is such a clarity difference in the cabs (in the favor of the mesa)....but perhaps I (and then Jens) spent more time trying to get some clarity out of the ultra-cab which resulted in something nice. My secondary mic for DD was more mid-focused than the secondary I used this time which probably made a difference as well.

The snare was mic'd w/ a single i5 on top but much (if not all) of what you are hearing is from the Jens Bogren sample vault so I am afraid I can't take much credit there.
 
I want my fucking album.

And the shirt.

But they're not here.

Fortunately, I did my laundry recently, but still... you can never have too many shirts.

Oh well.

Hey Jeff,
I can actually tell you that your shit is on the way as I packed it myself and scrawled "thanks Jeff" on it with a sharpie.
Actually I think everything has shipped out at this point.
 
Awesome, thanks.

I should have enough clean shirts to last until it comes in... the waiting game is never fun...

So, annoying question of the year - when's the next tour coming through S.A.?
