Last Friday we did for the first time a rehearsal with Walter - our singer - on the drums. Being a very experienced drummer, it sounded like he always have played drums on Morito Ergo Sum! He played flawlessly and we sounded tight and heavy as hell! We even tried out some of the new songs and they sounded surprisingly good, having in mind they were being played for the first time by the whole band.
The reason why we decided to rehearse with Walter on the drums is part of our plan to record our upcoming Ep with him being both the singer and the drummer. We have already found someone who is going to do the mixing and mastering, and his name will be announced very soon. The recordings will probably be done in July or August, but is too early right now to talk about a release date.
Our lead guitarist Pablo Magallanes will go on a world tour with Demonical next month, and when he is back, we will start rehearsing for good the new songs with Walter on drums and start to prepare ourselves for the Ep.

What's going on - March 2011
This month we finally got the chance to hear how this new line-up sounds in a rehearsal room. We tested a drummer a few days ago. Sadly it was not the right drummer for us, so we are still on the search.
Anyhow, it was nice to see how good the songs sound with the amps on full throttle! It just made us even more eager to go out and play live!
We have also been invited to be part in a free online compilation from a great Doom Metal Webzine. More details about this will be posted next month. Right now we are re-mixing one of the demo songs, a sort of special gift for them (and for all who likes the band, off course). Basically we are adding some guitars from Pablo, and fixing some small things so the song sounds, hopefully, even better.

What's going on - February 2011
Long time since I wrote the last "what's going on" update. That's due to the fact that there was a lot going on but nothing actually happening.
Apart from the new members, Pablo and Alexander, we've been busy, trying to coordinate our schedules to rehearse, finding a drummer (who make us loose quite a lot of precious time waiting for people that showed interest and then disappeared), and working on the new songs.
These new songs will hopefully be released sometime this year, around summer's end. It's still not clear if they will be included in another demo, or in an Ep. There are four songs right know - 1 older one (that almost got in the I die, therefore I am demo), 2 relatively newer ones, and 1 really interesting cover (that I will keep it as a secret for the moment). They are all in different stages of the writing process, some are basically ready, others are missing small details, as, for example, guitar solos, and others needs vocals and/or lyrics.
The tricky part now is to try to maintain the same level of compositions, as the last demo received a great response. On the Bandcamp page alone it has exceeded 350 downloads in 4 months! This week I will be sending the last Cd's for reviewing. It's another chapter that ends. Then it will be all focus on the new songs and eventual recording of them.
For those interested in having a physical copy of the I die, therefore I am demo, there is still a few Cd's left. Just write me making your order. Only the shipping will be charged.

Drummer needed!
We are still searching for a drummer in the Stockholm area. We are looking for you who is experienced, can hold the beat in both slow and fast tempos, and is prepared to invest some time and dedication to a really serious band.
A drummer is the last piece that is missing so we can finish our new songs and start to record them. Also we can't wait to start doing gigs! Sounds interesting? Contact us!

New logo.
Today I've finished the new logo for the band:
The idea was to make something cleaner and easier to use in different medias, as the other one was too heavy and hard to read sometimes. Hopefully this one will do the trick.
