TORNADO Check In From The Studio; New Album To Feature LOUDNESS Cover
January 6, 2014, 10 years ago
Finnish/American sleazy thrashers TORNADO are currently in the studio working on a new album, entitled Black President. Following is an update from frontman/founder Joey Severance via Metal Shock Finland:
During the course of the day, Jani and Tuomas managed to record six songs with the other five being left for tomorrow. Of the ten originals on this album (musically speaking), six were written by me, three by former original guitarist Michiel 'Big Maaaaaan' Rutten, and one by current guitarist Timo Ponni with the last song being a cover of the LOUDNESS track 'Dark Desire'.
As per usual with Tornado recordings, there are no triggers and no click tracks being used. The studio itself (especially from the outside) reminds me a lot of Abyss Studio in Sweden where we recorded the debut Tornado album. Both are remotely located which makes for excellent working conditions from the perspective that there are no distractions and both have very relaxed working atmospheres. As the day progressed, we were later joined by Henri (bass) and Timo (guitar) which was cool having all of us here at the same time.
The songs on this album are quite diverse but very much in the vein of what Tornado does best, which is write catchy as fuck Thrash Metal. Tomorrow we will finish off the remaining songs."
