State of the Studio #4: December '07

Christmas and New Years are near. December is the time of year when things really get busy for most people. And it's the same with the Studio this year.

A lot of the Studio activity this month will be in preparation for the recording of the new ORC album. Recording is scheduled to begin on January 1 and wrap up on February 29. The biggest hurdle at this point is rebuilding the Studio. But the plan has been drawn up and now I'm just waiting for an opportune time to rip everything out to start from scratch.

The first photo shoot for ORC took place a few nights ago. When post-production on those pictures is finished they will be made available, in some form, to the public. Also ORC related is the ORC blog. Until January 1 most ORC related news will still be posted on this Studio blog site. But when the recording starts, the ORC blog will be used to provide information as to the progress of the new album.

This blog will have a new feature added soon. . . a slide show that displays all the album covers that have been shown in the Album of the Week feature. Look for the slide show very soon.

There are two new websites in the Metal XOR Studio domain now, the Traveling Deengelburys and Albino Boy, but there are no plans for any new sites in the near future due to the upcoming ORC project taking up most of the Studio's time.

And look forward to at least one new Article feature which will document the employees at Metal XOR Studio.

See you in a month. . .
