A NEW YEAR! A NEW hIPNOSTIC CD in 2008! THE BIG NEWS! The band is currently in the studio recording their follow-up to "Dissolve Me" PROGRESS REPORT #2 - January 2008 The recording sessions at Live Oak Recording Studio yielded incredible live drum and bass tracks. The band then moved into Mess Tent studios to complete the rest of the recording process. First up was the task of importing all the drum and bass tracks and doing some clean-up editing. There was also two final bass tracks that still needed to be recorded, Chris specifically had a certain tone and vibe in mind and he achieved his vision. Now that the solid bedrock has been layed, it's time for Blake's wall of heavy hIPNOSTIC guitars. More soon.... PROGRESS REPORT #1 - July 2007 The sessions at Live Oak Recording Studio went fabulous! Jeremy's drum tracks sound amazing! Completing drum tracks was the initial goal. The idea was to capture that live interaction vibe so Chris rolled in his bass rig to lay down some scratch bass tracks and when we listened back...the results were too powerful to ignore. We not only had outstanding drum tracks, but the bass tracks were complete and full of magic! We can't express enough our gratitude to Jim Moreland at Live Oak for his ear, talent and support of our music and for making it sound ferocious! NAMM 2008 is around the corner! Blake, Chris and Jeremy will be there with BUDDA AMPS, ESP GUITARS, FORD DRUMS, ISTANBUL CYMBALS, DEAN MARKLEY and REGAL TIP.... Come by and say HEY!
