Hey guys !
Another week of pure fuckin metal mayhem has begun ! : ))
Anyway. I finsihed all the guitar parts I had left for the first 8 songs, and it all went so much smoother than I ever could have imagined .
I have to explain this for you first, when we write songs for an album, we do just that, we do not rehearse them before we record them , so everyone is pretty much just rehearsing by themselves . We are sending files back and forth and of course there are LOTS of discussions. I don’t know why we have chosen this way of getting it done but it has it’s pros and cons.
For instance, it is hell to sit and try to pick put what the hell you’re playing but at the same time writing like that makes it all much more fresh and spontanious. The real problems come whenever we will start to rehearse the songs for tours when NOONE have played them together with anyone ….. Maybe we’re stupid …. We have been working like this since “in search of truth” Too lazy to jam it out , hehe..
Today Henrik’s doing guitars for a song called “Fear” and probably continuing with drums on a new song called “Numb”. On Monday we will start writing again for 10 -15 days, to finish the last couple of ideas for songs we have. It’s pretty cool since we haven’t listened to those ideas at all since before we started the recording. That really should bring some objectivity.
We will try to post a new video clip tomorrow or Friday.
So you know where and what to check ..
Later….

Tom - Mayhem????
Mr. Tom,I should shake your hand again if you come back to Istanbul… I should… Pure Fucking Metal Mayhem… I think Evergrey is the order in the mayhem… More ambigious, mostly grey rather than black and white. That’s why my soul’s attached to this band.
And can you please send a video if you jam together??? (I think Henrik would have lots of beard on the video)

Very interesting insight into your work process, and based on the results we have seen on the albums since you started this process, I would say you guys aren’t stupid, you are geniuses!!!!
And you are great as an Evergrey salesman with all these little snippets you’ve got us fans bursting with anxiety to hear the new songs…
And finally, you indicated somehow that you are working like this is your last album, I hope that is not something the record company has threatened you with, ’cause then we are going to have to kill them!!!
Enjoy the work and know there are thousands of fans dying to hear what you guys are doing.
Respect!!

“Numb” and “Fear”….sounds like The Sickness by Disturbed….not that that is a bad thing in my book as I love that album. Can’t wait to hear the new Evergrey.
