I have grown tired of all these stiff work titles we have like accountant, car salesman and assistant manager.
We should embrace more whimsical wording such as number slayer, wagon dealer and henchmen.

A tiny update from the Pain Confessor HQ for ya!
We've been working on some 16 - 18 songs for the new album and today finally wrapped up the arrangements! Now we shall concentrate on full speed ahead training and make the last preparations before entering Studio Sound Supreme May 7th.
Some song titles (work titles, may change) Hubris, Gargantuan Shackles, Redeemer, Morbid visions, Gods will die, Fiery Thorns II
Some tech stuff for those interested:
Aki has been toying around with his Paiste 302 (the good ol' classic!) drum kit and probably will drop almost all of his toms leaving only 12" rack tom and one 32" floor tom due to the songs not really requiring more. The guy has played pretty intense death metal before and now it's a good chance to really shine with a smaller kit and more basic beats. The guitar section has been tuned from previous albums that were in C to E standard tuning to make it tight. Hell, Metallica was at their best back in the day when they were in E.
Jaakko had used his TC Electronic-based rack for years already in his other bands but thankfully he got around to test some VOX amps. Yeah, you got it right, VOX! Talk about a huge change from Mesa Dual Rectifiers and Engls but what the hell, the Valvetronix VT50 sounds freakin' AMAZING!
Tuomas steered back from his trusty Engl E530 and Roctron Velocity 300 and decided to give his old Fender Champ 70's a shot. It's pretty small but turn it up to eleven and hey presto! You get some tight snarl that would make Dimebag green with envy.
Both guitarists also use the good ole workhorse Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal to give that extra boost.
Mikko still sticks with his Mesa Big Block and matching cab but the interesting part is that he will probably be recording the album with a Harley Benton HBP90. Why? Well the fucking thing sounds ten times better than anything he has used before!
Keyboards will be a key element playing most of the melodies on the album so Pasi will be going for a Hammond sound and also quite a lot of influences from Jean Michel Jarre. He owns EMS VCS 3 and EMS Synthi AKS synths like Jarre did and those will play a pivotal role in the final soundscape.
To create a deeper contrast between the heavy stuff Make stated the vocals will be mostly clean-ish and there will be quite a few visitors on the tracks. No name dropping but he has been in contact with younger generation artists and there will be collaborations like never before.
So that's it for now, be back with more news and perhaps video clips from rehearsals.
Cheerio!
