My name is Adam, and I am the bass player/lead vocalist for the progressive metal band Suspension Of. My other bandmates consist of Darron (rhythm guitar), Trent (lead guitar/keyboards), and Ted (drums/percussion). More detailed member bios should be up within the coming week.
The main purpose of this blog is to cover the band’s efforts during the process of recording our first studio demo, Her Hair Sways To The Authentic Sounds Of Death. Other newsworthy items such as practice updates, show descriptions, and other general information will be included. Various opinions may be expressed, but for the most part this blog will NOT be used as a private journal and/or soapbox.
So, on to the first update.
The demo is being recorded at a house studio owned by another local metal band, The Fifth Sun. For the past few weeks, the other guys had been working the click tracks and last week they finally finished. For those unfamiliar, a click track is basically a computerized metronome beat that a drummer listens to while recording the drum beats. I unfortunately missed out on the process because I ended up having to work every night they went out to work on them.
Now this weekend, Ted is supposed to into the studio to spend a few days recording his drums so the rest of us can record our parts over them.
Also, last weekend we played a small show in a fellow band’s basement. I’ll post on that tomorrow.
