TERROR SYNDROME drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen (THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND) has issued the following update:

"So the other side band I play in called TEN WAYS FROM SUNDAY featuring Dave Young (guitars) and Mike Young (bass; ex- Devin Townsend Band, Terror Syndrome) with Eric Severinson on vocals, is now in mixing mode with one of Vancouver's top engineers/mixers Jay "JVP" Van Poederooyen at Van Howes Studios here in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We are four songs into mixing the album and it is sounding HUGE! JVP is the head engineer for famed producer Brian Howes and also happens to be my brother - not many people have a last name like that on this planet! LOL! Jay and Brian have worked with such artist's as HINDER (both albums), PUDDLE OF MUD, CHRIS CORNELL, CHRIS DAUGHTREY and many more famous artists. Needless to say we're in very good hands with JVP at the mixing helm.

There will be 12 songs on this debut release (with myself and Eric in the band, they have 3 previous releases with a different drummer and singer) which clocks in at just over an hour! The music itself is progressive hard rock with catchy vocals and versatile/technical musicianship. The influences of "Ten Ways" range from bands like KING CRIMSON to INCUBUS (earl stuff) to PORCUPINE TREE to MESHUGGAH. It's a versatile mix of music on this record which music fans and musicians can enjoy alike. We always make sure that the song comes first before the musicianship. The album should be finished mixing by September 1st, 2009. We will then move on to mastering. We still have to decide on who will master the album. Stay posted for that news.

Personally, this is probably one of the best, if not the best recording of my drumming to date, on a performance and sound point of view. You can expect tons of odd time signatures, displacement of beats, crazy fills, lots of versatile double kick and some good ole fashioned "4 on the floor" for the catchier songs. We did zero drum editing on this album, except for comping my drum takes. What you hear is exactly what I played. There is a ton of feel in my playing as a result. I'm extremely proud of my drumming on this record and can't wait for you RVP followers to hear it!

The official track listing has not been decided yet but here are the song titles for the album:

'25 Yo Life'

'Smile'

'Birthwork'

'Swan Dive'

'Comet'

'Nikita'

'Contraband'

'Enough'

'The Solution'

'Rehab'
