TIMELORD Mixing Debut Album
November 27, 2006Springfield, Virginia-based progressive/thrash metal band TIMELORD has begun mixing its debut album, "The Great Machine", with Kevin 131 (PROJECT: FAILING FLESH, RAVEN, DECEASED, DYSRHYTHMIA) at Assembly Line Studios in Vienna, Virginia. The mixes are being assisted by Ben McCall.
Commented Kevin: "The guys have delivered me all the tracking and I have got them all ready to start mixing. I have to admit, I am always a bit weary when a band tracks a record themselves, frequently the tracking is out of order, and a little messy. But these guys did a fantastic job producing and engineering. The drums are precise and immaculate, the guitars are technical and shred, and the vocals are clean and quite powerful. In short they did a fantastic job.
"When I first talked to Matt (Aub, guitars/vocals) I had not heard the band, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear of their upcoming deal with Shrapnel. I was even more surprised to hear that we are from the same area, so I had a particular interest in the project. I was blown away by the clips they had posted on MySpace — the nice melting of old-school IRON MAIDEN, METAL CHURCH, AGENT STEEL with the updated sound of some CHILDREN OF BODOM/SINERGY, HAMMERFALL, etc. Obvious references of course, simply because of the technical power metal genre. These guys are way cool — so the album should be a fun one to mix. I am just getting going . . but the mixes should be ready for mastering early December. After just working with RAVEN here, I am especially looking forward to their cover of 'Faster Then the Speed of Light', which John [Gallagher, RAVEN frontman] does a guest appearance on."
