What is "The Room" ?

[Firefest9]

On the lost to apathy EP, the credits say "guitar, bass and vocals were recorded at the room" Is this a new studio? Only the drums were recorded at Studio Fredman.

Maybe thats why Mikael's voice is deeper on this album and the guitars seem more thrashy, since they were not recorded at Studio Fredman.

What is The Room?

What is ..'the room'?
I knew the question would surface some day...

now..
are you sure you're prepared to know that, son?

the key to unlock the secrets of the room lies deep within your soul...

I read a Poem called 'the room' t'other day. It was pretty crappy.

that's because you didn't activate your second sight so that your third eye could lead you to the fourth dimension, my friend.

I think it's the rehearsal room...

 

[Taliesin]

Im not sure what Mag has been taking lately but he surely has passed on some to rahvin

well I think its the rehersal room or some kind of their perosnal homestudio
but I looked again inside the LTA_booklet(sadly there are no lyrics) and the remixes by martin b. ared one at rogue music.Whats that?martins studio?

 

[Caotico]

"The room" is basically what previously was known as "Phlat planet", i.e. Anders Fridén's studio that's located in the same building as Studio Fredman.

"Rogue music" is Martin Brändström's studio.

Dont you have to be made crippled by a Lannister, dream 'green dream's' and have a spiritual conection with a dire-wolf to be able to do that?
The poem was kind of childish. It seemed like it was trying to hide meaning instead of be artful (hard to say what I mean... too much ambiguity for my tatse)

So why choose different places to record different parts? Is Friden better with Guitar sounds? Isnt it more expensive to work in seperate studios? Too Many Questions?

 

[Firefest9]

Thanks for the clarification Caotico. I am familar with Phlat Planet. I didn't know Anders renamed it.

 

[Firefest9]

Ya know, now that i think of it, I find it funny that Anders doesnt even use his own studio to record his bands albums. Look at the production quality of Character to say, Soundtrack to Your Escape. Its obvious that Anders gets a good sound there. Why doesn't he use that studio for In Flames? Maybe that would improve their shitty albums that they have put out the last few years.
