Finland's PAIN CONFESSOR have issued the following update:

"Like we said, we really are still here and oh boy in what way! Here are the two new songs we happened to record at our own little homemade studio, 'X9' and 'Reality Of Now'.

What makes this even more awesome for us is that we got Janne Saksa/Studio Sound Supreme to join our venture and he really made this work by mixing the whole thing and adding his own unique and special touch that we really have missed.

Enjoy! We do.

Let us stand united against all storms!"

A message in regards to the demo sessions reads: "The recording sessions of this demo of sorts was a cool new experience for us. We had never recorded and professionally mixed anything at our own rehearsal space so it was exciting to do it.

Make was probably the most eager of us to record the songs at this stage and he got us all riled up to the point where we just went for it. We borrowed a friend's digital recorder and started to bang in the drum tracks. It brought back lots of memories from our past, each of us having been part of a band that had recorded stuff before the digital revolution. You know, the 4- and 8-tracks, analog recording in studios as well.

So everything had to be a one good take and even more so with these songs having very few breaks to punch in from. It was damn fun, the feeling was like playing live and it should sound in there too. Bass, Keyboard and Guitar parts we also did at our rehearsal space. Stacking Wesleyer's Fireball, Mesa/Boogie cabinet and just plugged in with his Kramer.

In all honesty, the sound was awesome to begin with, better than we had dared to even hope for. Easy sound to play with, we just cranked it up and let the guitars wail. The bass of course worked nicely with Mikko's Mesa Big Block. And everything of course with one good take. All guitar leads luckily went in on the first take and to save the feeling and spontaneity I didn't even want to start honing them at all. Pasi finished the Studio Moldy Tangerine sessions with nailing his keyboard arrangements with the trusty old Korg.

For vocals we had a real treat. Reunited with our friend and producer/recording engineer Janne Saksa, we recorded all vocals during June 25. at our home away from home, Sound Supreme. Make was on fire, everything just fell into place and just being back at Sound Supreme really lifted our spirits to the highest levels.

Once the vocals were all done we left the last rites into Janne's hands. Good thing too, he mixed the whole damn thing in a few hours and mailed the results to us. I uploaded the songs to MySpace for You all to check out and on we ride!"
