Some nerdy info for my fellow gear nerds:
We recorded this over the last couple years due to our busy work-lives with tonnes of technical issues and problems along the way, but we made it through and although the album is far from perfect, we are very proud of it and are excited to develop our band with the new material and new skills acquired from this first time recording project.

Drums/guitars tracked to Apple Logic 9 with many interfaces over the years including 2 x Steinberg MR816 CSX, RME Babyface, 2 x RME Fireface 800. Steinberg MR816 CSX is our favourite and we still own one.

Drums used were YAMAHA Custom Maple.
Symbals were all Sabian; mostly the Paragon series.
Mics for drums were cheap Apex tom-mic kit, a few Shure SM57's, two cheap pencil condensers for the overheads, and an AKG D112 for the kick which was replaced with a Superior 2.0 sample. The tom/snare drum hits were then mapped out and samples were very subtly layered about 25% in with Superior 2.0.


Guitars/Bass were recorded entirely with the Fractal Audio AXE-FX Ultra and a little bit of the AXE-FX II using OwnHammer IR's exclusively.
Guitars used on the album were PRS Custom 24 Artist w/BKP Nailbomb Pickups, PRS SE Mike Mushok Baritone w/BKP Painkiller Pickups, G&L L-2000 Tribute, Seagull Performer Mini Jumbo Acoustic
