Final guitars (almost) and M.O.B on the move...!

All three of us have been quite busy these past few days with M.O.B stuff. Saturday saw the completion of the guitar solos, we have one more guitar "thingy" to record, we were planning on recording it in the same session as the guitar solos but another band then started to rehearse in that hellhole we´ve been staying in for the past month and when another band plays in that facility, the earth shakes in the room we are in, so we canceled those plans.

Such good news then that we spent all sunday moving, again! We are very confident and happy regarding our new "home". The place is perfect and the guys that we are sharing it with seems to be great guys the lot of them, we are looking forward to many hours of writing and reheasing in this place. First thing´s first though. The recording train will stop at the next station this upcoming weekend and its time for me to wail away, and im so looking forward to it! I´ll be in the studio a couple of evenings this week, warming up the voice and i also have to do a bit of troubleshooting with the recording gear tomorrow as we have encountered a bit of a problem with one of the songs, its some form of technical mumbo jumbo error with "The Beast In Me" but hopefully ill be able to straighten it out, positive vibes is the name of the game ! Catcha later ladies and germs, stay rockin! /Fredrik/Richard/Peter

Ready to do some lifting!

Cables, cables, everywhere,,

So long Årstaberg!

 Mista Rille!

 Yeah, move that stuff, ill take some pics instead!

 Peter wants to make a final check, have we forgotten
anything?

 Setting up the computer in the control room area, where everything 
a rock band needs is provided. Comfy couch, fridge, nice atmosphere, the works,

Soon Richards kit will be up, and the pa, and eventually our whole gear,
and hopefully a new bass player will emerge also, so we can get out there
and  play you some "Out From The Dark" songs this winter, yeeeehaw!!.

Aaaaaaaaaand, the guitar solos is a wrap!

Peter and me have spent the last two saturdays working on and recording guitar solos, and now, it´s DONE!

We sat back after todays session and listened to all solos and we were satisfied with all but one, which will not need any major rework, it will be done in 5-10 minutes next weekend i reckon. After that, it´s one or two small things left to record regarding guitars and whats next after the guitars?

Thats right, it´s time for yours truly to step up and do "ma thang"! Fredrik "the broken fire alarm" is up in the studio. Holy shit, am I ready for this? I dont know, but we will soon find out I guess. Im looking forward to record with Peter by my side though, we have a great push and pull, bouncing ideas and making sure that the best efforts will end up on the album. Im quite excited about this!

We might move again though and it might happen quick, so maybe i´ll record my vocals somewhere else, we´ll see! Cheers people!

 We wanted to buy some stuff here today, but we couldnt, because M.O.B
 is a rock band and not a restaurant, hmmmm...
  This technician is starting to look a bit grey I think, I´ll have to do something about that beard soon!

Guitar Solo Sunday!

Yours truly is finally back reporting from the "Out From The Dark" sessions once again!

The studio is now operational (Thanks to our very dear friend Björn Andersson, we saluuuuute you!) in its new environment and me and Peter spent our first session there today, and it was a loud, hard and quite long one.

Peter showed prime examples of his lead guitar skills as he recorded 3 solos today, one fast and furious, one quite groovy and one very melodic with some nice harmonies and a bit of "Thin Lizzy".vibes in there. Songs finished regarding solos today were "Legions Of The Antichrist", "When all Is Said And Done" and "Nowhere". I think he's got about 4 or so solos left to record after today. Tomorrow, im gonna spend a few hours here by my lonesome, working on my voice since im feeling a bit rusty again to say the least. 3-4 weeks without singing messes up the voice, straight away, grrrrrrrrrrr!! Ah well, ill get there, probably... Cheers and stay rockin!! /Fredrik

Peters choice of axes used today!

 Hard at work again, feels good!

The man, the myth, the guitar legend that is Peter.


Peter soloing away!
