The "Mannaz" EP thread

[MFJ]

Okay, so I'm not making a bunch of threads about this album from now until it is released, I'm making THIS the official thread concerning all things about the EP. All of my work is done, I just need to convert it to a digital format from my tapes and then send it off to Mr. Erik. I will allow Erik and Ellis literally as much time as they need to finish their parts, but hopefully this thing will be seeing the light of day soon!

Current information: the first press (maybe even the only one), is going to be funded by my self and will consist of 150 hand-numbered pro CD-R copies. There will be enough for everyone that is affiliated with Royal Carnage (and I owe many of you free copies. If it forget about that, just remind me!)

This all-RC (and ex-RC) cast is so awesome! This is the kind of thing I want to happen if I ever record music!

 

[MFJ]

this whole thing was supposed to just be me and a good friend of mine who is an awesome drummer, but i literally do not have the resources to do that! i'm so lucky to have talented people from this forum who are willing to help...

 

[Demilich]

This is gonna be something worth remembering for the rest of your life, Max. I can't wait to hear even a little bit of it.

 

[lurch70]

good luck with getting this completed! can't wait to hear the finished pieces

 

[Caelum Adustum]

I'm eager to hear this. :Smokin:

 

[unknown]

[Conspicuously Absent]

Can't wait, I'm glad to hear progress is coming along!

awesome, maximilian, hope all goes well.

 

[Furious B]

is Erik writing the lyrics for this one or are you doing all the text yourself?

i offered to let him do it, but he insisted that he use my lyrics. i want him to at least do some of the vocal arrangements... i want him to be a part of this, not just some session member.

 

[Furious B]

that's cool. i'm really excited and would like a copy too.

the album art is killer.

 

[Evil?]

This is gonna be rad.

 

[skeptik]

can't wait til it leaks

 

[Dark One]

Very, very cool. You have my support.

 

[JayKeeley]

I'll take some Molten sil vous plait

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Awesome! Hey Max, I revisited the songs on the Noltem myspace (unfortuntely I didn't grab the cd before it sold out), and I don't think I'd have any trouble learning those bass lines, so if those Swedes can't make it for the RC party (if it happens), I'm game!

 

[MFJ]

sounds good. if i can find local folks to fill the guitar/bass roster, i might do that. it'd just be easier for everyone, seeing as how we all live in different states. thanks for checking the songs out though, the bass riffs certainly aren't anything incredible.
