UPDATE Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster - new album available!

Shark_Eyes · August 2015

Not my normal cup of tea, but enjoying it so far, about half way through.

Reminds me of a more metal "If these trees could talk" or a little bit like "Russian Circles" might sound after a good meal on a long holiday.

Really pleased to see this come to fruition, it sounds really professional, to my cloth ears at least. Good job.

Sounds great - will buy it on digipack soon

Nice work DrewDog. Only halfway through Oko on my Apple device you'll be pleased to know. Sounds great to me.

One of my friends randomly posted this today on Facebook.

"As i'm totally bored of generic copycat same ol, same ol "Modern Metal" i've been looking forward to this release for a while, often compared to Tool but bloody good in their own right, I'm working my way through it but so far it does not dissapoint well done Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster !"

By the way @Drew_FX I'm loving this album. Good work!

I saw that guy! Tell him Drew said he's a legend!

@Drew_fx, I will buy your new release. Musically it is interesting but your attitude and foul language to me personally is the reason for my decision.

Mostly more chilled out, but that too. You could invent a new genre "Post-buffet core"

paul_backskin · August 2015

I'll buy a copy soon. liked the last one.

Bloody hell @drew_fx that is mighty! I shared this around some of my friends on Facebook and one of them had actually seen you guys at Arctangent, said you were great.

thomasross20 · August 2015

Can appreciate the work gone into it but not my bag. Was never into tool or that sort of thing. Good luck!

Really great stuff, all the arrangements are really well thought out (which sounds like an odd thing to say, but hope it makes sense).

The sound production is excellent too.

I agree. I wanted it to be shit but it really isn't! :P

Nice job Drew.

How were the drums recorded/ produced?

With a room. And microphones. And ears.

Nah but seriously, my company has a private studio in our basement space. We set up in there...

We have a bunch of microphones available to us, in particular two very nice ribbon microphones which we used as room mics. 421's on the rack toms. Oktava's for the overheads. Audix D6 and a Behringer C1 for the kick drum. SM57 and a SE 2A or 3A taped together for the snare. A Shure Beta 52 for the floor tom. Another set of SE 2A's for far room mics as well.

This is our control room. @Randomhandclaps has made it look like I love Frozen. Jokes on him, because I do!!

Thanks!

The songs were started in 2012. Some line up changes and general band stressery got in the way. I wanted to finish this album last year, but we didn't start recording till March or April just gone! We were on a very tight deadline because wanted CD's to be able to sell at ArcTangent.

I'm curious do you / have you tried putting vocal lines to any of the tracks ?
