Recording has resumed in the Studio. Songs for a few different projects have been worked on in the last couple of months. We have seen the return of Mune Mud, NueroMud, and Trashman and the Blood Baker to the Studio. No albums are in sight at the moment, but as more recordings are made from the above projects, we get closer to a possible release later this year.
Will has also had a couple of new recording sessions. The Studio plans on releasing his first albun either this fall or winter.
A new video has been released. It is the first video for the project NueroMud. Other videos are planned to be released later this year.
So as the heat turns up outside, it's the perfect time to turn to the air condition inside and work on music. That's the plan for the next few months in the Studio. Check back for more details in two months...

State of the Studio #19: May '09
Although 2009 started off quiet in the Studio, there have been stirrings of activity in the last couple of months.
More recording sessions of Will singing have taken place. Recording will continue for a while until there is enough material to release his first CD. The same thing was done for Paige which led to the release of My First Album in August of 2007.
ORC has also been active. A few new demos have been recorded, a couple of them are even almost complete songs. In addition, a new ORC website has been set up featuring their debut album Purging the Great Abyss from 1999. Also on the site you can hear their newest demos.
This is the 10th anniversary of ORC's Purging the Great Abyss. There have been talks of a special edition CD but nothing has been finalized yet. Any future news regarding that will be posted here.
A software upgrade is on the horizon for the Studio. So there will soon be many new sounds available for upcoming projects.
As summer looms, things are looking positive for the Studio. Another update will be posted in two months on how things are going at Metal XOR!

State of the Studio #18: March '09
The observant fans may have noticed the absence of a State of the Studio post last month. The decision was made in January to change the feature to bi-monthly in an effort to cut costs in these economic troubled times. But that was not enough.
In order to keep the Studio operating, a more significant action was needed. Therefore it is with great displeasure that I must tell of the recent changes at the Studio. For the first time in the Studio's long history, job positions have been eliminated and projects put on hold.
Last month 71% of the staff was released, salaries of the remaining employees were decreased by 20%, and the workload of the remaining employees has tripled. All albums that were in progress have been placed on hold, allowing the Studio to save money on the power bill. And funding for the unannounced RING Project (Recording In No Gravity) has been cut, therefore Mune Mud's proposed recording sessions in earth's orbit have been postponed.
But with all of these recent changes, we do still hope to pull through this and return to providing the quality music that our fans have come to know. There will still be activity at the Studio throughout the summer months (someone will be here to mow the grass and set mousetraps). Please bear with us and we'll see you on the other side of all of this.
Have a joyful spring!!!

State of the Studio #17: January '09
Happy New Year!
Last year was a record year for the Studio. It was the first time three albums were released in one year: Mune Mud's Precursory 33, Isthmus' Parabolic Dish Festival 10th Anniversary Edition, and ORC's Thru the Vent.
And there are at least three albums scheduled to be released this year. You'll have to keep checking back here to find out what projects they are.
As far as recent Studio activity, recording is still going strong for the newest project to the Studio. The project has changed drastically from what it was a couple of months ago and I'm sure it will change some more before it's finished.
Recordings for Will's first album continue. Hopefully that will be finished later this year.
And yet another project has been considered. But it's still in the early planning stages and I'm not sure if anything will materialize from it.
Although nothing specific to report at the moment, there's still a lot going on. Be sure to check back in a month to see what happened in January...
