“Evighetens dårar II” – Recording update!
I put down guitars for 2 tracks today becoz I didn’t have anything else to do this morning. This is the first time I hear Tobben’s work as well and ofcourse he’s completely golden as always when it comes to playing drums. I need to go thru the guitars some other day and see what needs correcting, if anything. 2 more tunes to do guitarwise and it’ll happen when it happens. Stay tuned to this site and our forums for regular updates on the process. Trust me when I say that this shit will be cool as fuck.

Studio report from Tobben!
As we mentioned recently, the drums for “Evighetens dårar II” are completed. This is what Grindmaster Fesh, aka Tobben, aka Tobias Gustafsson, aka Golden T, aka Golden Spider, aka Golden has to say about the session:
“- Well, there isn’t much to say other than I fuckn nailed all the songs last night. We had the studio reserved for tonight also, in case we’d face some serious fuck up – on the equipment or on yours truly. But obviously we didn’t need that and I’m very happy we did all the songs in one night. Since I had already put up the drumkit in the studio on Sunday night, Mats could do his shit with the mics etc during the day yesterday, so everything was all set and ready to blast when I arrived at the studio yesterday at 5 p.m. Well, not really. One of the local newspapers had sent sent a very pretty reporter and a photographer to the studio to do a thing on Big Balls Productions and their upcoming compilation CD, for the Friday issue. Apparently our ugly mugs will make the front page, haha… I’ll post a link to it here on Friday. So we got started at about 6 p.m. and were finished with everything around 10 p.m.
Mats (and his new companion Fredrik) did a great job in the studio. Very easy guys to work with, to say the least! It was the first time I used my Tama Superstar Hyper Drive drum kit, and we were all blown away by the sound! I’ve used them on a few live shows, and I knew they’d do just fine in the studio, but I didn’t expect them to sound that good! Holy fuck! But we’ll see how the TD mixing wizard, mr Swanö, will use the original sounds. Usually, he replaces the original sounds with samples (for good and for bad). That’s what the red trig mics on every drum is for.
Playingwise, I’m very happy with the result. Nothing really fancy, to be honest, but a very solid performance (if I might say it myself ) with a lot of balls – just like how we work in Torture Division. No song was any easier or harder than the others so everything worked very smooth.”
You can find some more pictures from the recording here.

Drums completed!
Tobben needed but one evening to complete the drums for the new demo and the compilation track that we are working on now. 4 tracks of insane death metal, bound to rip your skull to pieces, yadda yadda yadda… You know you can expect some fantastic music from the world’s best death metal band. Yadda yadda yadda and so forth. The files will be handed over to K this week and he will do the guitars as soon as possible. J is still finishing up the last lyrics, by the way. We’ll try to complete this demo as soon as possible but it’ll prolly take a while, just so you know. Hang in there (you don’t have much choice, but hey…) and remember to check our forums for information on the process as well.
Order a fucken shirt or the embroidered hat. Do it, we give you free music and you support us by buying merch. Understood?

Cover of “Double barrel remedy” available!
This band, Decadent Youngsters, did a cover of “Double barrel remedy”, and safe to say we are honoured. They did something “own” with it, which is something we appreciate.
Listen to it:
