Recording starts October 25th!

[Symphony]

Yeah...finally we hit the studio for the album!!!!!

Francesco will be first up to get some drums recorded. There are 11 songs being recorded.....one of which I'm hoping will be a cool suprise!

 

[Rory]

Excellent!

Allow me to set the rumour mill into full flow in relation to this "big surprise"

My guess is either a 10 minute + epic, or else a guest appearance by somebody!

 

[dragonwarrior]

Two days before my birthday!! Do I get to come watch? Or are you still getting me an AX-7 mate?

 

[Symphony]

AX-7.....damn....I just couldn't find one around mate! lol!

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

11 eh? Hmm I thought there was 10 on the tracklisting so I'm guessing the 11th is a japanese bonus track?

 

[Ayeka]

Great news, glad to hear it!

 

[1928]

Finally! I hope this rivals Neverworld. That was a fucking brilliant album.

 

[looseunit]

All the drums have been finished and next in studio is Andrea with Guitars

Checco says the drums (unmixed) sound is the biggest ever !!!!

POWER QUEST - "The Recording Of The New Album Is Going Well"

Posted on Saturday, November 03, 2007 at 07:35:57 EST


UK melodic power metallers POWER QUEST have issued the following update:

"The recording of the new album is going well. Francesco (Tresca) has completed his drum tracks for all the songs and Andrea (Martongelli) has already started the guitars and is making awesome progress. Steve Scott will fly to Italy this week to put down his bass parts and then Steve Williams (keyboards) and Richard West (THRESHOLD) will fly out on November 12th to record vocals and keyboards, with Richard handling production duties on vocals and keyboards.

Meanwhile Steve Williams has just returned from Poland after taking part in the rock opera She which was written by Clive Nolan and performed by Caamora. You can check out the website here.

The live DVD of the Caamora performance will be released on January 28th, 2008 by Metal Mind Productions."

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

Welcome home Steve! Now get the keytar out!

 

[Symphony]

Thanks buddy...off with the Caamora hat and on with the PQ hat!

 

[Symphony]

Kiwi flies out to Italy today to lay down some bass parts for the album!

 

[Symphony]

Bass and guitars are now completed, along with drums.....so things are all ready for some vocals and keyboards next week!

 

[cavegirl]

how exciting! if we're really nice do we get a sneak peek??

...can't blame a girl for trying aye...?

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

Seconded!!! With jaig flavoured ice cream as a bribe

 

[looseunit]

hi guys all the bass is now complete the new stuff sounds great so much heavier than before, im so impressed and happy, we have played our guts out , the music is more complex more technical and we are playing better as musicians, this album will rock your socks off, we have D tuned and i even went down to C in some places, its very bombastic riffy metal anthems, i cant wait to hear what steve williams and allessio will add to whats already been recorded this week. Nick and richard will do wonders to the mix and sound.
this album will be the catchiest most uplifting record we have done, think of a mix of all 3 albums plus big giant balls heavy power metal and then you have some idea of what its gonna be
i havent even mentioned the solos yet either ... im speechless

 

[TemplarOfSteel]

Sounds unbelievable! Can't wait to hear it.

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

*fangasm*

Haha That does all sound super epic Steve, I can't imagine what a 'heavier' PQ might sound like but catchy, uplifting, big giant balls heavy power metal sounds like a new genre of it's own!!

 

[Ayeka]

jaig flavoured ice cream

Hmmm...sounds like an idea worth forwarding to my coursemates ^_^

I'm liking the sound of this new album...gonna have to rescue my PQ albums from my parents' house (space issues, bah ) and psych myself up proper, oh yeah!

 

[1928]

Sounds pretty epic.
