“Consumed“

The following piece was originally posted today in Tom Gabriel Warrior‘s “Delineation II” blog, entitled “Consumed“.

“Even the stars in the night sky appear faint, a year after my demise.”

“We transferred to V. Santura’s Woodshed Studio near Landshut in southern Germany, a few days ago. It was a protracted and sometimes challenging drive through yet another freezing night obscured by often impenetrable fog, begun in Zurich after midnight and ending at Woodshed at 5:30 in the morning. A journey still rendered immensely pleasant due to the fact that it was Ascension’s Ar who drove, and the two of us shared both serious moments and inane humour during this nocturnal excursion.”

“We are far into the tracking of guitars for Melana Chasmata by now, and one can sense the music for the album as it increasingly begins to breathe. Ar’s assistance in this production is indispensable, not least due to his expertise, intellect, and understanding.”

“All that, and my Ibanez Tom Gabriel Warrior custom Iceman guitar has been retrieved from the claws of hell.”
