Drummer Comments:

The way things turned out, I have worked extensively on the pre-production beforehand, because I knew that we wouldn’t have enough time to rehearse together before recording. So, in the studio, I had to play some things differently. That can make you break quite a sweat. But despite some changes and a lot of experimentation, we managed to record twenty tracks in six days, fourteen of which made it on the album in the end. I actually think this album by far tops the last one, it contains so much enthusiasm, diversity and power, it’s awesome! A good pre-production is important. The more prepared it is, the better you can experiment without losing trail. You can be creative, even in a studio.
