Alright, this is the moment we have been waiting for! It is time for the album release, and….a few more pictures.
Promo pics, for the album of course.
Sami posing in style!
This is the latest fashion!
There it is now, have you pre-ordered yours yet?
Hmm, what does this picture say more than: Rock This!
That was the pictures!
Now it would be the time to open up, where to start.
First of all, I must say that it has been quite a trip making this album and a great one! Of course it has been hard sometimes, but that’s what it’s supposed to be, nothing happens by itself.
A great point here is that the goal has been on everyone’s mind and each one of us has had the strength to do the work that made it happen. We involved in making this album can be very proud.
All started however, rehearsing the songs, polishing them and now that the work is available for all to hear from the album. The whole band, the producer, and the studio staff have made a huge amount of work but that’s way it should be! Now, when you get to hear the results of our work, I’m quite sure that the hard work has paid off. In fact it has and me like the rest of the band, are convinced that this is a hell of an album! Despite that the days on occasions went on to long, long nights when making recordings and mixes, back then maybe feeling a bit tired, now when I listen to that album I can say it was all worth it! I hope that you listeners will experience that this album is made with love and passion towards music, at least it is the way we feel.
At this point, it is time to thank everyone who took part making the album, and those in spirit involved, relatives, friends and, of course, you listeners!
Ember’s Flame wants to say a special thanks to the following trio: Andy McCoy, Jere Garcia and Jan Rechberger! Thank you for experiencing this process with us!
From me, a big thank you to my band mates: Pete, Teme and Sami, it’s great to do this with you!
Yet a few people who I am obliged to thank for encouraging me in this work: Thanks to Markku Haverinen, Leila Haverinen, Henri Sipilä and Juha Siik! One more person deserves a very special praise: Thank you for Vesa Suomi! Without you I would never had done this!
That was all regarding the studio diary, but just as someone might have guessed, yes, this will continue and the drummer blog will be kept alive. I might write about our gigs or something completely different. The fun doesn’t stop here!!!
So,
Happy Rock’n Roll!
