Finnish dark metal band Evemaster have posted the latest news about the recording's of their 3rd album.

"Wow! Long time, no updates. Seems that time passes very quickly when you're having fun. September went and at the end we realized that Jarno had recorded all his vocals. So, I made a promise to the guys that I will have the guitars ready by the end of October (or November at least). Well, I was wrong. Seems that the life got the best of me and I wasn't able to start recording. So, finally I did some prioritization and started The Work.

I have used my winered Gibson Les Paul on all the Evemaster releases so far but this time around I decided to go with my ESP LTDs (VB-400 for downtuned stuff and EC-1000 for the rest) and maybe Tokai's Telecaster for the cleans. I haven't added any acoustic guitars yet and I don't know if I will but I have 2 laying around so I'll use those if needed (Ibanez for steel strings and Landola for nailon). All the electric guitars are recorded through my Presonus FP10 as DI tracks. Those will be re-amped later when all is done and accepted by The Producers.

We have sported the old-school way of recording with the album. As the drums are pretty much one take with no quantizing or corrections, I decided to use the same method with the guitars. So, when you listen to the album you'll probably be able to spot some "errors" here and there. I think that just makes it a bit more "alive". I have used quadtracking for the rhythm guitars, melodies are only 1-2 guitars.

Ville (of Moonsorrow fame, part of The Producers) will record the bass early February and I know that Eve (of MyGrain, Draugnim) has started working on the synths. Also Markus (of Omnium Gatherum, Manitou) will provide a few guitar solos. So it seems that finally the things are moving into the right direction and the recording of the album will be finished soon. Then it's off to mr. Dan Swanö for mixing and mastering. Yes, you read it right. Mr. Metal Legend Swanö will handle the mixing and mastering part of the album. And maybe something additional things but more on that later...

I will prepare part 2 for the studio report about the vocal recordings and part 3 for guitars (and possibly bass). Be tuned!

Cheers,

Finland's dark metal band Evemaster will start the drum recordings on 2nd of June in Drop Hammer studios. The drums will be played by Enrico Annus (of Khert-Neter) as Jaska is not available due to his haste with CoB at the moment.
The album will be co-produced by Tomi Mykkänen and Ville Sorvali (of Moonsorrow). "Expect some epic yet complicated and elegant landscapes!", commented Mr. Mykkänen.

News from Finnish dark metallers Evemaster:

"We've been working on the demos for the next album and the songs are now just about ready.
The working title of the new album is 'III: Newtopia'. It is a concept album revolving around a dystopian dream or a fall of this one pitiful man...
Musically this album is the third part of the trilogy. Next album will be musically different going deeper in the emotions and darker side of human mind.

The working titles of the songs are:
1. Enter Newtopia
2. New Age Dawns
3. Humanimals
4. Losing Ground
5. The Great Unrest
6. The Sweet Poison
7. Harvester of Souls
8. Fevered Dreams
9. Absolution

At the moment we are discussing the recording and mixing of the album and it seems that I will have extremely exciting news to give you if everything goes as planned. Huh!
We are going to start looking for a new label to release the album probably after the recordings have started so that we'll have something concrete to back our queries. Hopefully I'll be able to give you some good info sooner than later.
So far, so good, so slowly.

Yours truly,
- Tomi & EVEMASTER -"
