Dan Yemin of Paint It Black has posted another update on the band’s recording process. The band is working at The Magpie Cage with producer J. Robbins on their next record. He commented:
Started doing vocals last night and blew my voice out pretty quick (after 3 songs), but it was really fun and exciting to hear the songs start to come together on tape after all these months in the basement hammering out these songs. I think we practiced more in the past 4 weeks than we did during the entire writing process for “Paradise”. It’s not that we were over-thinking/over-analyzing everything, but we wanted to be really sure all the arrangements were interesting (not rehashing things we’ve already done, and not sticking to the same old transitions and structures, like verse, chorus, verse, chorus, breakdown) and the tempos were on point. We wanted to make sure that the fast stuff is blazing, and the slow stuff sounds demented and brutal. Also, the writing process was a lot more collaborative, involving much more input from everyone, especially when it came to structure and speed.
The new record will follow up 2005’s Paradise.
