Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but at least we’re back with some great news! The Paradise Lost concert which was scheduled for April 17th—and had to be postponed—was surely our biggest gig. Luckily, SAM Promotions have managed to make this happen on 29th June—not only that—but Cannibal Corpse will be playing on the previous night of what has become a 2 day event.

Apart from giving us more time to prepare for the gig, this delay has also given us plenty more time to write new music.The new songs are taking somewhat a different shape than those on Medusa and we have also changed the tuning for a new heavier sound, but still keeping a very melodic and catchy feel as in all of our previous tracks.

So another thing we are looking forward to, is performing live the new tracks later on this summer. Now, we are putting all our energy and effort on the upcoming gig with Paradise Lost. And we are almost as excited for the Cannibal Corpse gig as much as for the Paradise Lost. It’s by far one of the biggest events for any metal fan to have the chance to see 2 legendary and world known metal acts in Malta! So if you’re reading this, make sure you don’t miss this opportunity!  For updates regarding the event follow Mediterranean Metal Gathering – Paradise Lost & Cannibal Corpse on facebook. Tickets can also be purchased online from maltaticket.com

The first 3 days of the past week, Dimitris has been recording the drums for all the tracks. We can say that we’re very satisfied with the way it all sounds. This puts us a step forward in the recording phase and we can’t wait till the whole thing is ready. On Monday Daniel will be starting the bass, and by the end of the week we should have all the music recorded, when Clint will start recording the vocals the following week. Below are some pics from the studio, just before Dimitris started recording the tracks.

As promised…here is the flyer for the Pre-Valentine Massacre V.

Saturday was the day we finally entered Temple Studios for the first time after one and a half years. It’s been a long time, longer than we had originally planned. With all the line up changes that we had to go through, you can’t expect any faster right? In fact yesterday we walked into the studio with two new members… James and Dimitris.

This is how it happened. Just after we launched The Dream Is Dead back in August 2006 we had to go through a drummer replacement, which unfortunately didn’t last for too long. It was only six months until we were again looking for a replacement. That’s when Dimitris joined in July 2007. In February this year we had another line up change, and James joined the band to replace our previous guitarist, who had been in the band since the very first day that Knockturn Alley started. Well, enough history for now and back to the recording.

We spent a few hours at the studio going through our songs, and recording the guide tracks with guitars and bass. Around Christmas time we should add vocals to these tracks so then we will have the complete guide tracks ready to be used by Dimitris to record the drums in January. Check out the clip below from last Saturday; a new song which will be included on our album.
