Hello all, I’d like to tell you a bit about the reworking of our Initialise album which I was working on recently. The band is now in the later stages of the writing process for our new album. Being over three years since the release of Initialise we thought it would be fitting to bring the production quality as close as possible to our current standards. Unfortunately we had a bigger job on our hands when I realised that the master tracks were missing completely… Fortunately though and due to the way I mixed the original it proved possible to disassemble most of the songs components from the original completed stereo mix.

With the work spanning about a month in total the tracks were separated, bass and guitar retracked and the whole lot was remixed and remastered to give birth to ReInitialise. I’m quite happy with the result and after aiming for a 50% increase in quality.. I think we met our target.

Here are some pics from the job…. Crank it up!!!

As promised, some new(ish) content! Initialise has been remastered and partially re-recorded to become ReInitialise, in an attempt to bring it up to the higher standard of production we try to reach these days. You can take a listen to the tracks by clicking here or on the album cover to the right!

Rob will do a post later on explaining the process he went through, but needless to say it was quite an achievement seeing as the original separately recorded tracks were missing and all he had to work with were those from the CD released in 2005. This is also the first recording of Rob’s new rig, which will be used on the upcoming album.

Also…

Kurodust recently did a brief photo shoot for the album cover, and we put up some of the more interesting and humorous shots on our Facebook page. Take a look!

Kurodust is still here. We’re working hard and new content will be coming soon. As you can see I have made a few changes to the website to make it look a bit cleaner and easier to read, nothing major.

The new album is in the polishing stages, but still has months of work before we can release it. There will be new content forthcoming, however, and hopefully we can get our songs out there over the next few months and get some anticipation going for the upcoming album.

So, click our social networking links (over there ==>), tell your family about Kurodust, tell your friends, hell, tell your enemies and make them into friends. The sign on the door says ‘Ready To Rock’.
