News : Leicohtica: Album Update #1

Here is the first in what will be a string of updates from the band while recording their brand new full length album.

“I am happy to announce that the tracking of all drums has been completed towards the upcoming Leicohtica record.

Damian was able to work through with engineer and producer Sean Daniels to secure the completion of the drums in only a matter of days. The first day taken to tune the skins correctly and ensure the best possible sound from each drum, and picking and choosing microphones to achieve a sound that suited Leicohtica and Seans concept of where to take this album. Sean and Damian decided on using “ Nevermore’s – This Godless Endevour” as a reference point for the kit sound and tuning with a more “Believe in Nothing” styled snare sound.

The following days Damian layed down the 9 drum tracks required for the release. Damian actually requested that no other instruments were present whilst he recorded and played purely from memory to a click track. A true testament to his ability as a drummer and backbone of the group. There is only a single way to describe his playing, the man is a machine.

We now have a final minute count on the release and we can announce the disc will be 78:57, nine full band tracks, and two short instrumentals.

given the length the band is now toying with the idea of including a second disc of bonus material for Australian friends and fans.

In three weeks we hit the studio to record Bass, and in six weeks we will be recording the guitars with Lead vocal, choirs, orchestration and keys to follow soon after.

We will keep you posted.
