Merry Christmas!

Yep, we're back home now. The next thing is Janne recording keyboards for the rest of the songs at his studio. The album is finally getting ready and it sounds just the way it should be.

Making this album has taken a much longer time compared to what it usually takes for us. I mean we wrote 7 out of 9 songs on AVAAW in just a couple of months! This time, the writing process took about 13 or 14 months but it was worth it. The album is definitely the most versatile album we've ever made.

Now, it's time for the Christmas holiday we've really deserved. Be nice during Christmas & New Year! :)

Last photos from the recording sessions:

Another Short Break...

Time for another short break from the studio before recording the rest of the vocals. Keyboards will be recorded after the Christmas, and the mixing & mastering sessions will take place in February.

The secrets concering this album will be released early next year, probably in January or February. And by 'secrets' I mean the album title, the song titles etc etc. So, stay tuned, wontcha? :)

Meanwhile, some photos from this December session:
