Primordial - Update From The Studio
"Part 5: From the day I left off till now...
3 days left of mixing
You would think the amount of time I spend skiving off in the studio that I would find the time to continue the diary I started back when we came in. What can I say, I'm like a kid with a shiny toy. quickly bored of it all and waiting for the next brightly coloured impulse purchase to attract my attention.
Well what can I say again, everything's done, we are mixing right now. or rather Billy is flinging himself headlong into the mix and we attempt to go home early and skive off to varying degrees.
It sounds massive, really heavy, dark and so tragic that I cant think of anything to compare it to. we trusted in the songs and right now I am pleased to say we are slowly being rewarded.
Well hey, that's just me
Perhaps its our cold lake, right ?.
So the cover and the pictures for it are starting to take shape and master Paul mccarroll from unhinged art and scald is going to be executing these ideas pretty soon. keeping it in the family bro'...
The DVD looms nearer and nearer and we have ten hours of footage shot to sift through as well.
joy.
Slowly but surely the wheels are turning and the gathering wilderness is complete.
more soon"

Crimson Moonlight - Info On New Album
In an statement made in their website the band talks about the new album:
"Hails and greetings metal heads….
We hope that you all are doing well and that you're hungry for some NEWS from us in Crimson Mooonlight. 040811 we entered the studio "Big barabom" outside Skara here in Sweden to record our new fullength album. We all had a great time there and we are very glad for the great opportunity to work with Thomas Johansson again and this time, also in a professional studio. The recording session turned out very well and we even had one day more off before we began to mix the songs. So all long traveling and hard work in the rehearsal place had made result. 040823 we started the mixing session and in the end of the same week Thomas mastered the new songs. And then all the music for the new CD were completed. We would like to say thanks a lot to all of you who have supported us in prayers and other kind of ways, we are really happy for it and we have felt that God has blessed us during the work with this songs.
The new album - "Veil of Remembrance" will contain 9 songs of uncompromising, furious blast attack - extremly fast and grinding blackmetal mixed with the heaviest elements of death and thrashmetal. Apart from the brutal speed the new CD are more guitar/riff-based and also more technical compared to our prevoius release. We have keeped the atmosphere of scancinavian melodies but skipped all the keyboards, since we realized that the production turned in to a more raw and hard sound without the keys. The vocals on this new album are more aggressive and a lot more intensive than before. Lyrically "Veil of Remembrance" is a very dark story: a lot about grief, pain and reflections of life, but also through all this chaos about a light that never fades away. All things that are written in the lyrics is "real-life experiences" in poetic form. Prepare for a pure brutal blackmetal holocaust…. This is the sound track of the great Armargeddon entitled:
"Veil of Remembrance"
Crimson Moonlight would also like to take the opportunity to thank Hubertus och Erik for their time in the band. Erik moved recently back to his home in southern Sweden and Hubertus wants to take more time for his own musical career and for his planed studies abroad. Both of them have brought a lot of good ideas, riffs and inspiration to the band. May the Lord bless you both.
"Veil of Remembrance" will hopefully be released in January 2005, but at last in March 2005. We´re sorry about the long delay with the release but it all depends on some abroad distribution contract. More info about the release date will appear on our homepage: http://www.crimsonmoonlight.com or our record company´s homepage: http://www.rivelrecords.com as soon as we know more about it !!"

Richard Barbieri - Solo album on the way
Richard recently completed the recording of his solo album at Bryn Derwen studios in Wales. Guesting on fretless bass is Percy Jones (Eno, Brand X ), and on acoustic / electronic drums Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, The Bays). It's expected that the album will be available online before Christmas, and in stores early next year. More details soon.
In the meantime "Cosmic Prophets" is an audio sample CD recorded by Richard Barbieri and Japan based musician Jan Linton. It was originally released for the Japanese market a few years ago, but the PT Store has acquired a limited quantity. Please note this is not a conventional album, but a sample CD of sounds, textures, loops and FX that can be sampled and used in a musical (or non musical) context. It features vintage synthesisers such as the Prophet 5 and Roland System 700.
Finally, Richard will be guesting with The Bays for a late night improvised session at The Jazz Cafe in London on October 22nd.
