CYBERMETALLLLLLLLLLL
bass is done. the album as slid into second base, leading off and ready to take off for third starting next week. the big mountain........vocals.
not going to lie, im nervous. after our 7 month break, i didnt do vocals til around march or april of this year, and because of chug missing most practices prior to the recording of this album, i would guess that i have only practiced my vocals the same amount of times we've played shows since returning. 4, 5?
i dont even have all the lyrics down, but thats nothing really new to me. i write and rewrite and rewrite until my arms fall off...and until the moment im doing the words into the mic to be recorded. its always a bit up in the air and a taaad bit freestyled, but nothing outrageous.
but while doing bass we noticed a couple misses: we forgot a couple guitar parts and upon major scrutiny (i have listened to a bounce down of the album probably 20 times in the last week), we have decided a few riffs need to be rerecorded, and like i said, add a last couple touches on guitar.
along side that, vocals should begin next week and we should be facing the home stretch (mixing and mastering) very very soon. i am blown away by the quality of this album. i wouldnt ever say open fire is a great band or original or better than so many bands, but i will proudly say this, i dont think anyone will see this coming. from start to finish we are just doing a lot of things i didnt think wed ever do, nor do i think anyone will see coming. im so fucking proud of it, its unreal.
thats not to say its a perfect album. i mean, this is open fire right? we have plenty of flaws, some reflected on this very album. i wont get into the specifics of each one until we get the final mix (trust me, ill gladly critique my own album for you), but there are moments im disappointed. but the scope of the album absolutely washes over those missteps. im happy, and i would be more than honored if you are too once you hear it. cant wait.

So close...
So last night, I finished all of my guitar tracks. It was tough but I feel so accomplished and it sounds so good! Big shout out to David from The Cancer Bros, for letting me use his Orange. Chug/Steve only have a few more songs to finish and then we move to bass. John is telling us he will finish the whole record in 20 minutes. Wish him luck cuz the record is 58 minutes long. Thats right. 12 songs, 58 minutes. What's up?
