Snimanje albuma održano je u studiju Ork u Jevnici, za kojeg kažu, da su se bez sumnje odlučili. “Odmah, kad smo prvi put došli da razgledamo nas je uvjerio – ne samo zbog vintage opreme ili biste Josipa Broza – Tita u prostoru za gitare, ali i zbog dobre atmosfere i umirujuće prirode koja ga okružuje.” svoj izbor objašnjavaju Mist. “Obavezna oprema uz glazbenu u studiju uvijek je dobra hrana i jaka kava, za koje se stalno trudio marljivi vlasnik studija, Sašo Kisovec.” rekli su još. Za produkciju i miks je ponovno bio odgovoran Benjamin Kic, dok je mastering ovaj put obavio Patrick W. Engel (Candlemass, Pentagram, Darkthrone, Exodus) iz studija Temple Of Disharmony.

Ovaj put bend je uzeo puno više vremena za pisanje materijala nego za prethodna dva izdanja. “Stoga smo više naglaska dali na pripreme za snimanje i traženje željenog zvuka, za svaki instrument pojedinačno kao i za cjelinu. Može se reći, da smo ponosni što smo ovaj put doista dobili onaj pravi Mist zvuk, kojeg smo izgubili na EP-ju Inan’.” zadovoljni su konačnim rezultatom višemjesečnog rada. Basistkinja Neža još dodaje: “Ja sam osobno također ponosna i na predanost, koju smo pokazali tijekom samih priprema za snimanje i izdržljivost u studiju. Doista smo dali sve od sebe i nismo se prestali truditi, kad smo znali da u određenom trenutku neku stvar možemo odsvirati i bolje.”

“Pjesme na albumu nastajale su pojedinačno, što nam je ostavilo slobodne ruke u stvaranju, ali to ne znači da nisu povezane, jer ih vežu teme, koje su bile kod nas uvijek vrlo prisutne – smrt, uroci, život poslije smrti, priroda… Svaki je tekst proizvod trenutne inspiracije umjesto planiranog slijeda tema ili događaja.” kažu o nastanku pjesama i moguće veze između njih. Pa i sam omot konceptualno odražava naslovnu pjesmu albuma. Ili kako još kažu Mist: “Valovi krvi i emocija su more, gdje se osoba diže u dubine preostatka svoga života i pozdravlje se od sunca. U mraku onda prihvaća mjesec, koji mu pruža novu nadu u posmrtnom postojanju.”

(record review)THE ELECTRIC DEAD-“The Electric Dead”

Canadian trio The Electric Dead finally released their long awaited debut album.

a1325929766_16

The Electric Dead play a mixture of horrorpunk, doom metal with some rock and blues influences and their music sounds pretty dirty and greasy. The album contains 9 epic songs with horror lyrics and when I listened to this album it sounded like walking through a dark swamp, dampy and scary with some creature following me persistently from darkness.

There are some interesting solutions in song structures and even some keyboard background like “Lucifers Blues”. Some songs reminded me of Danzig like the slower one “Devil in a Dress”. Incredible, but the song “The Mark I Bear” vocally reminded me on James Hetfield. Maybe its just me. My personal favourite on the record is “Me And The Devil”. The songs are mainly uptempo with that sweaty guitar energy holding the reins on you from the beginning until the very end of the album. This is great stuff if you love your horror greasy and doomy.

(record review)TERRIBLE OLD MAN-“Fungi From Yuggoth”(MDD Records)

As many of the readers who roam through the pages of this zine know, my all time favorite horror writer is H.P.Lovecraft. I always admired metal bands who were inspired by his works and worlds, and I always tried to find that ultimate band who would put Lovecraft words into melody and blend it in one great whole. Now I found it.

Terrible Old Man hail from Germany and this is their second full length album and what could I expect from a band who named themselves after one of Lovecraft stories? Frankly, I expected much and I got much. Imagine a band whose every lyric and song evolves and is directly derived from your favorite writer and his work. Well this album contains 10 songs of pure horror packed in melodic up tempo mix of heavy and doom metal but the band is not afraid to venture in some blast beat and faster waters. The vocals are cleanly sung and the singer does a great job. Oh yeah, to add more greatness, I checked the line up of the band and every member of the band is also named after one of the characters from Lovecraftian universe. This is an album that has it all, great music, great lyrics and I am happy I discovered this band.
