BIOMECHANICAL - "It's Hard To Comprehend The Enormity Of Work Chris Tsangarides Has Done In The Past"
July 2, 2007, 17 years ago
UK metal heavyweights BIOMECHANICAL have released some exclusive information about their current session in The Ecology Rooms studio with producer Chris Tsangarides (JUDAS PRIEST, THIN LIZZY) and reveal their confidence in the sound of the forthcoming release of Cannibalised. Biomechanical vocalist John K has spoken out about Tsangarides and his legendary status, giving the following insight into working with him:
"It's hard to comprehend the enormity of the volume of work Chris Tsangarides has done in the past. I have been co-producing our new album Cannibalised at his studio and in between recordings and preparation sessions Chris tells me stories that make me feel in awe. Best examples were the stories of the Painkiller album but even more crazy the fact that he was responsible for Vivian Campbell joining IO. After that Vivian recorded one of my most favorite metal albums Holy Diver, I mean, WTF? And stories like that come in thick and fast.My experience here has been awesome. Started with sorting out the drum sound with Matt C and then Chris Webb arrived in Dover on the 21st of July with a Framus stack. We ended up using the Framus amps plus a head manufactured by Chris Tsangarides plus a new amp called WKZ- little devil which sounded insane! There only five of those made so far so we were very lucky to use it.
The sound of the album is shaping very well. Chris gave me two choices. Huge sound a or Huge sound b! I am confident as hell that he will do a very good job. All I can tell you guys so far is that we are working really hard on this album so we hope you will like the final thing."
