Producer Tue Madsen (HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MOONSPELL) has issued the following update from his Antfarm Studios in Denmark:

"Its' been a looong time since I last updated this site, I am sorry but take it as a good sign of me being busy making music for you all.

I just finished the mixes for the new MNEMIC (pictured) album. I am really really excited about this one.

It will show you a more mature band with better songwriting skills than ever. Heavy moody songs all over.

The response to the songs so far from label and the few press people who have heard it so far have been overwhelming.

Be afraid, Muhahaha...

At the same time I am also sort of working on the new DARK TRANQUILLITY album. Sort of because I helped with the set up and they are presently recording the album in Sweden without me. Now I started the mix of the album, and so far the songs I have heard sound very very cool. Don't forget the live DVD from Milan which is just about to hit the shops now... which I mixed... Great show!

This summer was spent around Europe. First I was in Italy tracking drums, bass and guitars for FIGURE OF 6 at Fear studio. I am going to do the mix later this year when they have finished doing the synthstuff and vocals.

Right after that I was in Spain to re-record the first album of Spanish band SOZIEDAD ALKOHOLIKA in Music Lan studio a little north of Barcelona. That was the nicest album to work on. Great rooms, great equipment, great people, great food, swimmingpool, sunshine... and good music of course ;-). I also mixed a few live songs for a DVD release by this band. I am looking forward to repeating the experince next year when it's time for the real new album.

MANTRIC have inked a deal with Prosthetic records. It makes me very happy to see. You all have to go out and get this album! For those who don't know, this is what rose from the ashes after Extol split up and it is quite simply greatness! go out and get it! That is an order, dude!!

SUPERCHARGER is a Danish band playing r n'r have released their debut album produced by me. It's a great party record for sure!

VADER and WINDS OF PLAGUE put out new albums recently both mixed and mastered by yours truly.

Next month I will go to Copenhagen to record the new SICK OF ITALL album. The demos already sound good. That is going to be great."
