Draconic - just... metal

You can read more about this band in the MY BANDS section. The album titled "From the wrong side of the aperture" was recorded in our studio after being demoed a year before in our bedroom. The drums were recorded on a Sonor drum set through a M-Audio Delta 1010LT. The delta was used because the Lynx Aurora 16 was on it's way and wasn't shipped when promised. After we were done with the drums, the Aurora arrived! Guitars were tracked through Aurora, thank god for that, using two amps at once. Peavey 6505 II and XXX were miked simultaneously with 3 mikes. The mikes used were Shure, Rode, ATM, Samson and AKG I think,  my brother miked the amps with all he could so we catch the sound well. The instrument used was mostly a Ibanez Universe 7 stringer but the pickups we're customized, and a Gibson Les Paul Studio and maybe some of my BC Rich Warlock Acrylic Series with EMG-Hz, but I`m not sure about that. I started recording the vocals in the studio but ended up re-doing them in my room using the Behringer Ultragain Tube MIC100 and a 40$ Samson hand-held condenser mike. The sick parts in Laudanum were recorded by Danilo of Consecration for the demo, but turned out to be so good that we just reused the tracks since that was truly artistic and there would be no sense of re-doing it. Draconic was signed by Austrian Noisehead Records. If you want to get a feeling of the atmosphere during the recording, be sure the check out the video below. You may not understand the Serbian parts and trust me, I don't think they're that important.
