Black Sheep Noise

Hey look, I've actually been up to something for a change.

My buddies band BLACK SHEEP WALL recently have been recording their new album (which will be coming out soon on fucking SEASON OF MIST?!?!? YES!) and they graciously asked me to perform some Noise on it! Stoked, always glad to help bring some more noise to the metal world.

We did the recording session here at APOSEMATIC SOUND the other day, and it went great! I am not going to give away what I did sonically for the album, you'll have to buy it to check it out, but I will say that they invited me to appear on 3 songs, plus generously gave me my own track to work on as well.

Brandon (bass), documented the whole thing with some pictures and video, and recently posted them on the Black Sheep Wall Facebook page (link above). So I figured, what the hell, I'll post 'em here too.



Ever hear the term "Bedroom Noise"? Yeah well, I guess this is where it comes from. Literally sitting on my bed making noise. Yeah, I was too lazy to breakdown the Wire Werewolves Synth/Sampler/Drum Machine setup (not enough room for both), so I said "fuck it, I'll just setup my gear and play on my bed like a lazy piece of shit"



Here is the back of my head while doing some mixing. Exciting no? You are super jealous of my super awesome original XTRO poster though.



Then the fucker snapped a secret shot of my gear! Nah, just kidding, I'm not all secretive about my gear/setup. I don't think there's really anything up there that is terribly exciting anyways.

Unfortunately for this next part, I had my mixer levels too high when I was recording, and it came out clipped and overloaded. Whoops. So this material you hear here did not make the cut. In other words, these videos are the only decent sounding recordings of these jams. Unless I can successfully jack the Audio off of this video while it is still on Brandon's phone. I'm pretty sure I can get that to work, but will it sound as good? We'll see.




Thanks for looking, I'll let you all know when the album is out.
