Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape 2010, and brand new video!

Dudes and dudettes!

Since we were obviously somewhat delayed with this project I have really made sure that I didn't go out and promise you a release date that we wouldn't be able to deliver.

So here's a status report:
-We are in the mixing process!
The plan is that today we will have rough mixes for all tracks. We will then spend a couple of todays together reviewing and writing down comments to bring with us back to Erik. In the meantime Tommy is back in the studio doing some last minute overdubs and harmony parts.
Sometime during next week the album is likely to sound pretty much as it will in the end.
The last step is doing the mastering and deliver the actual master along with the finalized artwork to Lion Music.

When that has happened, i.e. that Lion has the stuff they need to enter the post-production phase, then I can provide you all with a release date.

SOonow you know pretty much as much as I do, and I PROMISE you that as soon as we know anything about the release date, it'll end up here.

Hopefully we'll be able to bring you some teasers too.... -we'll see!

One a final note, I can just say that it is indeed coming together and it will be great to hear the final product and actually be able to share it with all you fine folks out there who are always encouraging and supportive.

We'll soon cross the finish line!
 
one thing i've been wondering about the new album.
is there gunna be more melody parts in any of the songs?
IE: the start of break the silence and near the end of alley cat.
 
I am not sure I fully understand what you mean by melody parts, but given your example I take it you mean rather stripped down passages where Tommy sings over only piano or clean guitar, am I right?

Well, it is difficult to say if its more or less than before.... :-/
Hm, probably about the same. There are at least a couple such places on the album.
 
yep thats what i wanted to know mate. thanks :D
for some reason i, who does his best to never sing even alone, end up singing them out loud when i hear them. they're almost as adictive as a certain bassplayer ;)
 
Veery nice. I was little worried about how things are going. But it seems your not far from over :)
Teaser should be nice, at least to get us all fired up for whole package! :devil:

Is a music video, album title, songs and cover not enough?

Still, can't wait :wave:
 
More than half-way!

It gives me great pleasure to say that the mixing process is finished. Perhaps some final minor tweakings tomorrow, but over 99% is done (at least) and the album sounds the way it is gonna sound and we like it!

On Thursday we will master the album and at the same time Johan Larsson is wrapping up the artwork. This means that all deliverables will end up at Lion Music this upcoming weekend. Immediately following upon that an the official approval from the record company we will be able to give you guys the release date.
