Studio News: New ORC Project

Plans for a new ORC album were officially announced yesterday.

Metal XOR Studio (Jason) and Attic Works Studio (Jimmy) will soon be working together on a new ORC album. This will be the first release since ORC's 1999 debut album Purging the Great Abyss. The current plans are for each studio to start songs independent of the other one, then exchange each song for the other studio to change (add/remove parts, write lyrics, etc). The music will bounce back and forth between studios until each song is finished. The recording is set to begin January 1, 2008, and end on February 29, 2008. There may be additional post-production in March, but the album should be out by the end of March.

The next two months will be spent getting equipment set up and updated at each studio. Test tracks will be recorded to ensure the compatibility of the two studios. At least one test song has been recorded at Attic Works Studio and three test songs have been recorded at Metal XOR. In addition, lyrics have already been written for a song titled "Clunky the Fisherman". So as the ORC machine slowly gets up to full speed, keep checking this blog for further updates.
