WIP - Mixing  

Hello friends,

Another quick post here just to prove we're not dead yet. :D

All instrumental and vocal parts are finally complete and recorded for the three songs we have been working on this year. Recorded and peacefully resting in the '!Active' folder on my hard drive (not to mention countless backup drives and folders):

- awaiting to be mixed and released (hopefully) by late September.

The track list for this 3-song EP is as follows:

1. Feels Like Nothing

2. Deliver (working title: "Follow Me")

3. Brandy (working title: "It Never Ends", "2044")

 

In the meantime, we're stuck in the production of 4 other brand new tracks as I'm finishing lyrics and writing sketch vocals for the last two of them.

As of now - stay tuned, new music is coming your way!

 

Peace to ya'll.

Recording Drums - In-Studio Footage 

Hi everybody,

We've compiled a short video about our latest drums recording session in the studio. It features one of the newer tracks, which will be coming out this summer as a part of a 3-song batch. The track has been around since the year 2015 under "Follow Me" codename and has seen a couple of thorough revisions since then, effectively making it a different song. You'll be able to hear chunks of the pre-pro demo in the vid, but make no mistake - you won't be getting that mediocre-sounding tune in the end. I can tell it's going to be much more than that by just how excited I'm starting to feel about the song as we are getting closer to the completion of the work. Mixing that stuff is just around the corner, so I'm looking forward to sharing this awesome music with ya'll pretty soon!

P.S.: special thanks to Nik for making this video happen!

PrePro for drums is complete 

Hello everyone!

A quick update on what's going on with the band: we are at the closing stage of pre-production for the new tracks. The drum parts are complete and are being fine-tuned, and the studio time is already booked for the early February! Once the drums are recorded, we will jump right into tracking guitars & bass, followed closely by the vocals, which shouldn't take long since everything is pretty much ready. 

There's no decision YET (ahh, the indie band life!) regarding the release of those tracks: once they are mixed or after another pack of 3 or 4 comes out, but I will definitely be posting some insider-grade stuff here (read as: 'some awesome music!') as soon as the first portion is complete!

I'm still working on the video blog idea, which has been facing some difficulties as of lately. I might as well put the realization of this idea off because honestly, there are so many other things that need to be done first!

(Meet our new drummer - Nik!)

 

P.S.: Anyway, I plan to keep you updated on our progress. Stay tuned and have a happy start to the new working year!

WIP update + drum cover video! 

Hi everybody! So the latest news is: we are over with tracking drums and guitars for the upcoming release, now it's time for bass and vocals! In the meantime, here's a little something for you to enjoy from Nik, our drummer:

"Another drum cover here! This time it's a song that I've been a fan of since my teen years. Unfortunately, Wayne Static, the founder & frontman of Static-X, passed away on Nov 1st, 2014. This event practically caused the band to cease its existence (although some may argue that this happened even earlier). 

Anyways.

Wayne, thank you for your outstanding contribution to rock music in general, and for the astoundingly AWESOME record - the 'Shadow Zone' album."

Prepro status and video blog announcement 

Hey y'all,

So we are done with composing drums parts for the three new tracks, and we will soon enter a studio to track them. We are currently busy getting pre-production demos ready for the recording process while writing some even newer and fresher stuff at the same time. Here's an updated version of the chorus of the song that has popped up here recently:

Lets us know if you think that's the progress in a wrong direction, hah

In the meantime, I've just started to prepare a new video series for the blog, which I think will be quite interesting to all you techy audio people out there. Singers might find it entertaining to watch as well, so stay tuned for the updates.

P.S.: sorry for a very short update again. Gotta be heading out to track some choir parts (choir, really? YES).

Eli.

Pieces coming back together (and a sneak peek at what's cooking!) 

Hello everyone,

Eli here.

I've got a quick heads-up regarding Mazemile's music production schedule. We have recently teamed up with an awesome new drummer, and this dude is really freakin' FAST! This means that very soon (according to our plans) we will be entering the studio to track drums, guitars & vocals for the three tracks that are currently at the production stage. We should be done with recording drums by the end of the year 2017, getting ready to track other instruments and mix the projects throughout January '18. We have not yet decided if we should release those 3 songs at once or write 3 or 4 additional tracks and compile another 6-7 track EP. More info on this to come! Anyway, here's a small snippet of one of the tracks that we are currently working on.

Let us know what you think!
