April 20, 2008, 16 years ago
As previously reported, BATTLELORE are currently in the studio working on their new album, tentatively titled The Last Alliance. Keyboardist Maria has issued the following update:
April 17th:
"Today we finished all the keyboards and flutes for the songs. After getting all the things done I feel satisfied with everything I’ve done, somewhat overwhelmed, completely exhausted and yet happy. Right this minute I can’t remember a thing I’ve played on tape and wonder whether I’ve actually done everything Or at least something. I guess I’ll realize I’ve finished my part after a few days of normal life again, hehehe, and the memories of hard work will return. (Only those, no memories of the hanging out in the evenings, having pinball tournaments with Jyri - which he always won, of course, drinking a few beers and just enjoying the relaxed and goofy atmosphere that always follows us to the studio…)Anyways, something about the new songs - they’ll be bigger and better than ever before. We have put a lot of thought into giving the songs what they actually need and what serves the greater good, 'the master idea', behind the songs, not just adding things for the fun of adding things. So it’ll definitely be something to look forward to! We all have a lot of faith in the producer Janne, he has proven his effectiveness and genius mind when it comes to making the songs better. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with him and I hope we’ll be able to do this all over again some day!
Now it’s time for me to have some relaxation beers after the hard working week of musical madness. Next week it’ll be time for Kaisa and Tomi to show what they’ve got. It’ll be good, I promise!!"
Maria, with a beer again
