THE 11TH HOUR's ED WARBY Issues Studio Update

December 29, 2008

THE 11TH HOUR, the doom metal collaboration between Ed Warby (drums, guitar, bass, vocals, programming; GOREFEST, DEMIURG, HAIL OF BULLETS) and Rogga Johansson (vocals, additional guitar; RIBSPREADER, PAGANIZER, DEMIURG),has begun recording its debut album for a fall 2009 release via Napalm Records.

Commented Warby: "This week I've started recording guitars for the album. After several false starts plagued by tuning problems I decided to outfit all of my guitars with really thick strings (059-013),which seems to work well. I laid down all four rhythm tracks to one song so far, and although I'm working with temp Pod sound, it sounds pretty massive already. I'm also recording DI signal for re-amping purposes, so Ronnie [producer/guitarist Ronnie Björnström] should have good material to work with for the mix. The drum tracks have already been recorded and edited, so as soon as the rhythm tracks are done, I'll start doing miscellaneous stuff and leads, and then it's time to add some four-string bottom end!"

THE 11TH HOUR recently uploaded two tracks from its promotional recording, "The Origins Of Mourning", to MySpace. Check out the songs "One Last Smoke" and "Weep For Me" at this location.

According to the band's official bio, THE 11TH HOUR is "the wretched spawn of two kindred spirits' love for good old fashioned doom metal. In 2007 Ed and Rogga met on the Global Domination forums and made plans to do a doom project together. These plans were sidetracked when Ed joined Rogga's DEMIURG instead, but the seed was planted and every once in a while a nasty doomriff would find its way to Ed's fingers during one of his nocturnal writing and recording sessions. Slowly but surely these riffs were sculpted into six slabs of unbearable heaviness, as bleak and terrifying as the night that inspired them yet suffused with sadness and melancholy beauty. If all goes as planned these six entities will surface in the shape of a full-length album before the year is through."
