ADRIFT - "Possessed By A Mad Drumming Frenzy"
June 4, 2007, 17 years ago
Kevin Astl, drummer of Tampa Florida's ADRIFT (featuring Jack Owen of DECIDE, ex-CANNIBAL CORPSE) has posted a studio update via their myspace page.
"Hello, faithful friends!, It's your good buddy Kevin writing you from the environs of backwater North Carolina. Jack and I are entrenched in CB Production Studios tracking the new Adrift album, tentatively titled Absolution. Well, I had allotted five days total to track 14 songs, hoping to take it easy and record at a leisurely pace. It turns out I was possessed by a mad drumming frenzy, and I have jammed out all 14 in about a day and a half (and I tracked today with a pretty nasty hangover, thanks Absolut and Thunderbird!). True, we did spend a full day on getting tones, microphone placement, and pre-amp selections, so it's actually two and a half days, but principal tracking was only a day and a half. And yes, I used a click track for the songs...and I was pretty damn on with it. Been excited about this record for some time, and it's great getting away for a bit in seclusion and focusing on making a great record. We hope you all will like it. Thanks to David Burrill, owner of CB, and his wife Heather, for graciously allowing us to invade their studio, home, and lives for the next 18 days. We appreciate it! I will periodically check in and post updates, as well as some pics and videos of me and Jack in the studio"A partial track listing for Absolution is as follows: 'Absolution', 'Betrayed', 'Left Behind', 'Departure', 'Broken Mirror', 'Back to Square One', 'Held Down', 'Pushed Aside', 'You Don’t Know Me', 'Reasons', 'Wither Away', 'S.I.C.C.', 'Gluttony', 'Come Around'.
