ARCH ENEMY – Khaos Legions studio report part 2


Swedish melodic death metal warriors ARCH ENEMY have issued a studio report for the bands new release entitled "Khaos Legions".
FROM ARCH ENEMY: We guess you’ve already seen the first part of ARCH ENEMY’s studio report. The one about Daniel Erlandsson tracking drums at Sweet Spot Studio in the south of Sweden. The band is currently there recording their self-produced new 2011 album “Khaos Legions” with the help of Rickard Bengtsson (who produced 2005's “Doomsday Machine” album). If not, hurry up and click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaCJidBQXIM

Part 2 of the studio report shows bass-player Sharlee D’Angelo scarifying his bleeding fingers for the sake of KHAOS:

“Ladies and gentlemen, the low end is firmly in place! After a long day of ploughing through an absolutely massive array of bass guitars, different amps and cabs, and various other electronic gadgets the choice finally fell on my white custom shop Ibanez Iceman run through an MXR Bass D.I.+ and an Aguilar Tonehammer into an Aguilar DB751 head and a DB810 cab, complimented by a Marshall VBC 412 cab, hidden behind a veritable forest of expensive microphones on serious looking mic stands. And the result? Fucking awesome, people! Our engineer Rickard Bengtsson is an audio nerd with a rock'n'roll backbone who does not give up until he finds what he's looking for - and thank fuck for that. Cause the songs on this album really need to be presented in the best way possible. Having laid down all the bass tracks now I just can't wait for everybody to hear the album, and to play all these songs live for you all! But we're not quite there yet, next up are blistering leads from the depths of hell...”
