Deathless
 |
released 2008 on Triple Down Records 1. Ancient Triple Down Store | itunes | Amazon | eMusic Well, this record took years. Given a sterling oppurtunity to record to two inch tape for a shocking $10 an hour, we teamed up with our friend and current Zoos of Berlin drummer, Collin Dupuis. Let’s just say we made a lot of pit stops on this one. Tracking took a very long time, as we had the luxury to obsess over minutiae with relatively little coming out of our wallets. Our most dynamic, hard hitting and progressive stuff to date was captured here. Ironically, what was in abundance during tracking was virtually absent once we got to mixing. That thing, dear reader, was time. A good year and a half into still not having this record completed, we broke up, as various factors caused the band to implode in the fall of 2004. Sami soon afterward moved to New York, followed by Zach a year later. Unable to live with an unfinished product that he saw potential in, Eric enlisted good friend, and kNerd.com founder, Rob Shelby, to mix by then what had been titled, “Deathless”; named for it’s literally never ending stature of progress, and its convenient spiritual double entendre. Do I smell prog rock pretention here? Maybe… Perhaps part of the problem that plagued this record was that we were out of our element. We recorded Deathless on the third floor of a building and not in a basement. Deathless was finally released soon after we reunited in the fall of 2008. Each CD sleeve was hand screen printed by the band. We still practice in a basement..
