Producer ANDY SNEAP Issues Update On EXODUS, MEGADETH, SABBAT

July 23, 2007

Acclaimed British producer and SABBAT guitarist Andy "Undie" Sneap has issued the following update:

"So I'm trying to meet deadlines once again. This EXODUS album has been pretty brutal as far as hours and time. I flew out to San Francisco on June 10th, got off the plane at 5.30pm and was in the studio by 8pm, not one day off in 20 days, 14 hrs a day. That hurt, especially as two weeks of that was tracking overdubs in their rehearsal room/makeshift studio with no air con for the first week.... in Oakland....yay! But it was fun, we always have a blast. I always say it's like being in cartoon world working with Gary Holt.

"MEGADETH has been going great, good chart positions all round, and I'm currently mixing/compiling a box set for EMI for an October release. I'm not saying anything more about it as I don't think details have been released on it.

"Some albums worth mentioning that I've done of late, DESPISED ICON and JOB FOR A COWBOY. I became educated in different forms of blast beats which I didn't know existed. Reeee reeee to the Canadians!

"As usual Monte [Conner] at Roadrunner destroyed any chance of me enjoying the DEVILDRIVER mix by driving me insane with his constant emails, second guessing, ted jensen worship and .3db vocal pushes ;o) I've aged 10 years in 6 months. But the end result was worth it.

"SABBAT gigs have been fun also. We played Ireland a couple of weeks ago and it was by far the tightest we've played since we've been back together. Upcoming shows are Wacken Germany Aug 3rd, Bloodstock UK Aug 18th, Up From The Ground Germany Aug 24th and Hole In The Sky Norway Aug 25th. No, we are not writing a new album, but a DVD is in the pipeline.

"Last couple of this, Peavey are running some pretty cool ads with me in and I've got an interview with Bruce Dickinson for the Friday Rock show in the next couple of weeks. Not sure on the broadcast date at the mo.

"So I'm off, EXODUS to finish, six songs into the mix."
