Unfortunately not, I already said I could work on that day before I found out about the gig and there's noone else can cover it for me. Getting there would be a bit of a bitch aswell.

No worries my man. I'm sure we'll catch up soon. Take it easy!

I haven't yet had the privilege of seeing Biomechanical live, so I was wondering who does the solos ... Do Webb and Hunt "take turns" or do they have strict roles?

Get your asses to Denmark, by the way!

Hi,

Chris and Jamie have their own designated solos on the album and the same goes when they play live,

On Eight Moons they play:

Chris- The Awakening, Do you know me, Distorted and Hunted.
Jamie- In the Core of Darkness, Eight Moons, Save Me and Point of no Return.

The new tracks also have specific solos they both play in designated tracks.

Hopefully Biomechanical will be giging your way some time next year!

Hi there, Just to add to Existenzs' comments, the thing with the solos is that both Jamie and Chris were taking turns while learning the songs. On the album I wanted the guys to play a song each but it didn't work as the first three tracks were played by Chris and then 1 by Jamie and then two from Chris and so on. With the Empires of the Worlds there should be a more smooth distribution.

As far as live is concerned -as Existenz said-Chris and Jamie stick to their solos as played on the album

WOAH! So when it says "All music - John K." it really is all of it ...!? You have my deepest respect, dude - even more than before! Rock on!

Thanx dude

The guys write their solos. I give them guidelines, then they take the track away, write the solo and then we are having discussions on the studio (putting down finishing touches etc.)
The decision of who's going to play what solo on what track is taken after we have a talk.

I kind of take a look on the album as a whole to make sure it flows well sound wise and that there is a good distribution of styles.

Both Jamie and Chris are great collaborators and have their own styles, something that makes it easier to create a difference between solos.

Looking forward to the mixing of the new album. Both the guys are really shredding on the this one.
I am sure I speak for all the guys when I say that this one is gonna turn your hair white and drastically lower your sperm count......

Don't you mean it will turn our hair white drastically and lower my sperm count??

PS. Can't wait fot the mix either

[Existenz]

Can't say anything yet (not completely confirmed and I don't want to jinx it).
But some really exciting news about the production will hopefully be coming up soon!

I can just feel the man love on this board...well not 'feel' but....erm....okay.

I have a question. *ahem* What was the inspiration for Biomechanical? It's obvious that there is a concept of 'fusion' going on here but second to pulling every interview on the net I was wondering what it is exactly that you guys want to portray in your music.
