Hey dudes. My sludge band recorded our album to tape, and a couple people requested that I post it here when it was done...so here it is. ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
We recorded the drums, distorted guitars (doubled with an Engl Powerball and Orange Thunderverb 200 through an Emperor 6x12), and bass to tape, and got good song takes (not sections
), and then transferred everything over to Reaper because we were all out of tracks
. From there, I quad tracked the guitars with the Powerball through a different cab for a little variety, and vocals were recorded in Reaper as well. The guitars range from close mic to room mic depending on the song, so there's some variance on guitar tone on the album, but I think it sounds pretty cohesive. So I realize it's not *fully* analog...but we had to keep it within budget
D), and we only had 24 tracks to work with.
I realize it's a lot different from what usually gets posted in here, but I'm extremely proud of the recording and I think that Adam Tucker and Steve Henningsgard (from the band Iron Thrones) did a fucking hell of a job recording us. If any of you get the chance to record at their studio, Signaturetone Recording in Minneapolis, you should DEFINITELY do so.
Hope you guys dig it.

Oh yeah. If you guys like some moderately sloppy shred skip to the second song.
