In the year 2014

Hi there !
A couple of groundrules, before we start, since I have many bands I will use the following
”codes” if you will, in the header of the post to let you know what the hell I’m blabbering about:

SA = Sonata Arctica
SV = Silent Voices
KS = Klingenberg Syndrome
MCF = Mental Care Foundation
WB = Winterborn

…pretty self-explanatory stuff, right ?  The first posts will be about the mastering/videoshoot trip
with SA. I’ll try to give some background info about my other bands in separate posts for those of
you who don’t know these projects etc….

ok, roll the tape…

cheers,

Hank

  1. Wait, Winterborn? I thought you'd only guested on the first album, did Jukka leave?

  3. Hi there, thanks for the specific data and for taking your time to doing this, it is really appreciated. Btw, Happy New Year!! :D I didn't know anything about Mental Care Foundation or Winterborn, so it'll be great to give it a shot on them.

    Good luck and keep on it! (Y) Cheers!

    1. I long for the day you stop putting airquotes around singer, lol

      I'm not even exaggerating when I say you're one of my favorite singers and I have mad dreams of a full on duet between you and Tony.

    4. Hey hey HEY! Add me here, ok? Since I saw some videos on youtube of the acoustic set at the 2012 SA tour when you did second voices for Wanted Dead or Alive I too WANT you and Tony to duet. Really, the counterpoint of both your voices would be AMAZING to hear in a full song (or various songs, just saying ;-)). Think about it, I believe there's a lot more people willing to hear it!!!!

    5. Woah! Even though this post is some time back, hope you still see comments here... because I have to agree, a duet would just be KILLER!!
      And yeah, first comment on your blog, I just finished reading the album making of one, now starting with this one... you're keeping me from work, dammit! But thanks so much for doing this :)

  6. Wow, you're in Winterborn, that's fucking awesome!!
    I hope I can see you guys again on tour soon, I really dig the first album, and I would love to buy the second one, too :)

  7. You guys will do some "making of" videos, like you did for the Stones Grow Her Name album?

    1. I think Tony has a bunch of footage, don't know when he'll get around to edit it since our schedule is just brutal at the moment.
