Oooo, gritty. Sounds great, Alan, and wildly quirky too. The "chucka-chucka-chucka" made me smile. I'll definitely be checking it out. Do you have a release date yet? Jen

Jen, thanks for watching it. yes, we have always been quirky and a little wonky too, and we like that so we upped it a little on this one for sure. The album is actually concept, and the music is very emotional but we always try to put twists and turns into the music. We are holding off the graphics work for a few more days so folks have a chance to get their names printed in the CD, which has been a pretty popular option. I expect everything to be wrapped up this week and about 10 days or so to ship.

Thanks for the orders guys! We are getting a surprising number of pre-orders, and are very appreciative! I think the preview video was a good idea. Dale has had so many heavy musical projects lately we really wanted to go a different direction with his vocals. Since our last album Dale had a new Bride release, NOG, and Perpetual Paranoia. Those were all really heavy and we didn't want to crowd that space or style. We focused on emotion and dynamics to bring the heavy and are really happy about how it turned out. I think Dale has a very Bowie-ish vibe going on. He has a surprisingly good singing voice when he isn't screaming. I consider you guys the cream of the crop when it comes to Christian rock and metal, and value your thoughts more than you know. I check here often to see which way the wind is blowing. Feel free to tell me anything that is on your mind or ask any questions you might have.

While I like the newest Bride, most of the samples here sound like Bride probably should have after "Scarecrow Messiah". Dale and Troy should bring you on to help out with their next "calling it quits" album.

Alldat, that's a crazy compliment and I appreciate it. I can't say I could do anything to help a band like Bride, they are legends. That last album is crazy good, with world class musicians. I am more of a basement hacker. Something might be in the wind, however. Troy Thompson and I collab. on some stuff, and he plays the cool wah guitar on the new song "Rainbow's End" on this new album. So who knows. Rocker thanks for the listen. Fundy you can get the CD or download on our website now as a pre-order or in a few weeks or so from Amazon and all of those places. We sign all the CDs we sell from the website personally to you for free so if you think that would be cool you would want to get it from the website. It takes a few weeks after the CDs are printed to hit the market, but it should be available everywhere by Christmas. I have been wrong about this stuff before.

I'll have to get it from amazon, as other folks will be buying it for me. I'll keep a look out

Alan, I'm not sure it's appropriate to ask this question here, but I'm interested in your recording process. You guys produce remotely right? How do you make that work?

Don't forget Dabster Gentleman!
Dale just keeps confirming to me that he is one of the best voices out there period.

I don't think he has one of the greatest voices now, it's not aged well, but when he sings like this it's fine. Michael Sweet has maintained his voice much better.

I love Dabster Gentlemen and Haunted No More too! However they really do not compete in the same space as TWWB so I was more worried people (and their pocketbook) might be a little tired of an other super heavy album with Dale singing on it. With Dale's other heavy releases, we both thought it would work better if he did more singing. I agree that his voice sounds great this way, but he still screams plenty on "Nothing's as Real as It Seems" but more for emphasis and more selectively. Jen, I wish I had a good story about our remote recording but I do not. I really don't know a lot about the process and really am learning as I go. Dale and I begin by creating a theme or idea we want to pursue, then I start to write and record songs. I have a refurb mac mini, a cheap interface, and use Logic Pro X. In my room I have a lot of just OK guitars and start putting together the tones. On this album I used the stock Logic virtual drummer then we replaced them with our live studio drummer later in the process. I start emailing the songs to Dale and he starts to work on the lyrics and vocals. He has tons of lyrics because he is always writing. He edits and writes and so forth until has what he likes then he records his vocals at his house. We email the songs back and forth until we both like what we have. Tim Bushong has a killer studio and he recorded all the drums at his place. His son Aaron is a monster player and did all the drum parts. Tim then mixes and masters the songs and we start to tweak them until we are all happy. In the mean time Dale is painting for the cover. He has painted all of them. It sounds simple but it took us 2 years to get this album together. I don't want to even calculate our time. I imagine we will lose money but it is a ministry as well so whatever God wills is fine with us. We sell what we can just to try and recoup some of our expenses. I know Chris records in a home studio. Do others on here do as well? I am curious if the process is similar for you guys, too.

We record the Joshua's Creed project long distance. We're working on our 2nd album. This time around I've written the song and recorded the rhythm guitar, bass and programmed the drums. I upload a rough mix with a scratch vocal to Google Drive. Andrew records vocals and Joaquin does lead guitar. They upload their tracks to the drive and I put them into my DAW and mix. Once it's mixed I upload it again and Chris masters it.
I use Audacity for my DAW. For rhythm guitar have have a 2012 Les Paul Studio running into a POD XT Live which I plug straight into the Line In on my computer. For bass I have an Ibanez EX-Series running into a Marshall 25/50 Jubilee 3530. That runs into an ART Tube Preamp and then into the Line In on the computer. For drums I use Rhtyhm Rascal. I don't have the ability to record drums so programming it is.
I'm not sure what the other guys are recording with. I know Andrew uses a Scarlett interface.

All of my more recent recordings were done on a Korg D3200 32 track recorder. All the effects and editing tools are built into the machine. It works great, but it makes using remote guests difficult as you maually have to play their parts into the machine while you record them. I had to do that on the last Mission Of One project. That is why I chose to do all the guitar work myself despite not really being a lead player on my Big Chris projects. Plus, I wanted to be able to perform my solos live if I ever get the chance.
I hope to swap to computer based recording on any further projects.

There are so many ways to record music these days. I think it can be both good and bad. I love the fact that musicians now have an affordable way to make and release music. I hate the fact that there is so much indie music out there it seems impossible for it to find all the consumers that might enjoy it. It's like throwing your needle in a haystack and hoping someone finds it. That's the reason boards like this are so important. I am a consumer as well as a producer, so it really helps me to find music I can relate to. I hope one day that Dale and I can record while being in the same room. I think "Nothing's as Real as It Seems" is the best we can do without that interaction, even though we work together wonderfully. Thankful for the technology to do it at all in this day and age. We are sending this project off to be printed tomorrow, so pre-ordering will end soon. As long as they last, we are including a free vinyl decal of our logo with all pre-orders so if you like the songs, head over and order a copy. http://theworldwillburn.com/store
