From WD's Twitter feed: "Very long Sanctuary rehearsal today. Our producer Zeuss arrives Tuesday for preproduction then we enter the studio Sunday!!" He also said in another tweet that he will be doing a solo tour in South America this April doing a career retrospective set of NM/Sanctuary/Solo songs.
Hello friends, this is my very first post at this forum. The flyer above is from Curitiba's gig on upcomings Warrel Dane South American Solo tour. There will be around 8 dates, which 4 are already confirmed as follow April, 10 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil April, 13 - Curitiba, Brazil April, 19 - Limeira, Brazil April, 20 - Sao Paulo, Brazil More dates to follow. He will be joining a local band for this Solo tour, which I have no idea yet who they are and how that's gonna work, since they probably won't have much time to rehersal together. I will be attending 3 of those 4 gigs so far, and hope to bring you news about it here, and hope to have a chance to meet Warrel in that opportunity. It will be a 1000km ride so far for me to attend Curitiba, Limeira and Sao Paulo. On twitter, Warrel told me he might change the setlist from one gig to another, so we will see about that! He is supposed to play songs from Nevermore, Sanctuary and also his solo album. Hope to bring more news as soon as I have them!
Didn't they kind of fail to deliver with the production budget initially for EoR? Also, what's up with that site rehashing info that's been around for over two years as though it's recent? Pretty sure Warrel knows it's 2014. Regardless, can't fucking wait.
A few more updates: -Drums are set up and Dave is currently tracking the song "Arise and Purify" -WD also mentioned that during the end of preproduction, they finished a song called "Exitium" saying "it has a strange Led Zeppelin vibe to it, like if Zep hung out with crack hoes".
Thak sfor the news buzzy I hate zep but like savatage a lot - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_of_Thorns maybe the will do it right.
Some more updates to keep us salivating... "Dave is kicking ass right now on the Doors cover? It has been metalized!" "Last day of drum tracking. Dave has done us all proud! Now onto geeeeeee-tars!" "About to start vocals for I Am Low...nothing can stand in my way! I may have to get naked in the vocal room. Enter the dragon...." "3:19am. Just finished tracking vocals for 3 songs tonight. The Dying Age, Frozen and the Doors cover Waiting for the Sun...perfect night" "The record no one thought would come to fruition will be released this year. Exact date I don't know yet that is up to CM" "Jimbo is kicking ass on the bass tonight! Later I'm starting vocals on the epic title track. TYTSD is coming together...." "Brad Hull laid down some sweet shredding solos, Jim knocked out bass on the title track and then I did vox. The train keeps rolling...." "Fuck this record is going to kill!" "Great session with Z master tonight, back to the city and out of the mountains. And now sleep, the daily end of life...."
How about some lyrics Warrel has been posting: "Exitium brings us peace within the ruin...grant us this release...our tongues are falling away....” "As the beautiful snow falls in silence, the puzzle falls into place. For this short time upon this rock, I shall walk in silent grace." "In the end no flesh remains only bitter words"
Recording is now done!!!! http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/sanctuary-completes-work-on-the-year-the-sun-died/ Looking forward to at least a few samples in advance of the 9/30 release date.
HAH Kafka! I was hoping to brighten your day, not ruin it!!!! Time for WD to get in here and give us some details....songtitles, tour plans, etc.
