The new acoustic ep is here.

Since we finished up all of our studio tracking we’ve been hard at work doing overdubs in our home studio. The record is starting to come together. Although we don’t have titles for most of the songs yet we do have a list of songs that we’re working on:

Short New (no title yet) – a short, in your face, hard rocker

Mark of Vishnu (tentative title) – a mid-tempo epic

Cobra Strike – a super fast Math-Metal song

Fast New (no title yet) – Ironically the oldest of the new songs. There are videos of us playing this one on youtube

Sludge (no title yet) – A steady melodic one that is sounding very cool so far

Sludge Intro (no title yet) – as of right now this sounds maybe too much like the Inferno intro from the first record. We’ll see if we can make it work.

Genosha – A driving 12/8 song with a jam section in the middle

Genosha Outro (no title yet) we came up with an outro for Genosha in the studio that was so awesome that it will get its own track on the record. It’s kind of mellow and loopy.

Klagenstuck – Another fast in your face rocker with a ton of different sections

Funk Jam (no title yet) – One of the few long songs that we’re working on that is not in a minor key. This has a crazy jam in the middle. Too crazy? We’ll see…

Death March (Tentative Title) – A super slow epic

Mellow Cell0 (no title yet) – We’re cutting up one of our jams from the last day of recording and adding a bunch of strings. It’s going to be less dark than our normal stuff but it will be very cool.

Jams – There were at least one or two more jams that we did that came out sounding so dope that they might make the record. We’ll see.

On top of that we’re almost finished with an Acoustic EP. It might come out this month! Here is the track list (in order) for the acoustic EP:

1. Barrage
2. Coda in E Major
3. Noae Kadae
4. Interlude in G Minor
5. Air Raid
6. Mark of Vishnu

So yes. We have alot of work to do.

The new album is coming along. We finished tracking drums at Nu-Tone and took a week off for the holidays and now we’re going to get back into it. One of the biggest tasks we have ahead of us in the next couple of weeks is sorting through all of the jams that we recorded. There are over 3 hours worth of jams and a bunch of them are really sweet so we’ll definitely be finding places for some of it on the record. Here’s a video of Riki doing a dub mix of one jam (this one won’t be on the record):

We’re making good progress in the studio. We have drums totally tracked for 5 songs now and some cello done as well. We’ve also been recording some sweet jams all together. Maybe some of them will make it on the record as too. Overall I think it’s going pretty well.

Since I moved to San Francisco in September Judgement Day has been hard at work writing songs for our next record. It has been an interesting process. Every song has been very different. We have some songs that we wrote over a year ago, some that we wrote together in our practice space this fall, some that we wrote out on a computer and one song that we actually wrote by jamming live at shows. The different approaches have lead to a pretty wide variety of material. This weekend we started tracking drums at Nu-Tone Studio in Pittsburg, CA with our friend Riki Feldmann. It went really well. We have drums tracked for three songs and they sound totally huge and epic. I’m excited.

The music from this video is from a jam that we did at our practice space.
