Studio Chapter 1: [unnamed - early]

The earliest days of Metal XOR Studio can be traced back to Jason and Harry singing their ad-libbed lyrics to instrumental music on the radio (1985-87). Although they recorded their songs at various houses, when they recorded in Jason's room it was with nothing more than with a microphone plugged into his stereo.

It was also during this time that Jason was recording his own songs from the small keyboard he received as a birthday present in the fall of 1986. And again, the recording was nothing more than a microphone placed by the keyboard's speaker and plugged into the stereo and recorded. In fact, in some songs you can even hear the clicking sound of the keys being played.

There was no fancy equipment, there wasn't even a name for this recording location, yet it served as the basis of what would eventually become Metal XOR Studio.
