<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Saturday - Jan. 10<sup>th</sup> through Saturday - Jan. 17<sup>th</sup> &nbsp;&ldquo;Tracking Down Matt&rdquo;</strong><br /> <br /> With drums finished and well into the editing process, it was Matt&rsquo;s turn to lay down his main rhythm tracks. He will be doing all the leads for the CD after all the rest of the music is finished. <br /> <br /> After making it into &ldquo;Solo Studios&rdquo; on Saturday the 10th, the band started setting up and soundproofing the guitar room. After everything was done, and the camera was set up, Matt was anxious to get started on his tracks. He decided to start with &ldquo;The Shallows&rdquo;. He got that one done in two takes and decided to start tracking &ldquo;Exit the Excoriated ****&rdquo;. He finished that one in similar fashion. By time he was done it was exactly time to stop for the night. We took a breather on Sunday so Matt could keep editing drums and so we all could just chill for a day before we got into the weeklong grind of recording everyday. <br /> <br /> Coming back into &ldquo;Solo Studios&rdquo; on Monday, Matt said &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to finish three songs today&rdquo; and did just that. He was able to finish &ldquo;A Word for Pain &amp; Suffering&rdquo;, &ldquo;My Only Obsession&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Flagrant Disregard&rdquo;. Yes, that&rsquo;s five songs in two days. <br /> <br /> We came back the next day and Matt finished &ldquo;Another Day in Paradox&rdquo;. The next day he came in and finished &ldquo;Helpless Evidence&rdquo;. Thursday came around and Matt realized that he had caught up with the amount of songs he had been able to completely edit on the drums. So he had to record to the raw drum tracks for the next three songs. Luckily Matt had them put together so we were able to record the songs with no worries. He got &ldquo;Successfully Buried in Bison&rdquo; done that day. Friday he finished &ldquo;Red Puddles&rdquo;.<br /> <br /> Saturday came along and Matt was already 90% done his rhythm tracks. Just one song to go, &ldquo;Through a Maggots Eye&rdquo;. Matt finished his rhythm tracks on Saturday the 17th. Luke is next and he will be starting his bass tracks on Monday at &ldquo;Studio D&rdquo;. Matt will be writing the next blog about Luke&rsquo;s week of recording. Thanks for checking out what&rsquo;s been going on with us. We will continue to keep you posted on everything.<br /> <br /> Also our website is finally going to be functional again within the next few days. We&rsquo;ve been waiting on all the info we needed and the pics we needed to actually be able to re-build the site. Now that we finally have that stuff, Jessicat, our webmistress is on the job making it happen for us. Thank you so much Jess, sorry it took so long to get it all together. Check out the site, once it&rsquo;s up, for more updates as we get them. Thanks, soul eXistence.</p>
