Symfonia has issued only couple of minutes ago, the following Studio update, on band’s official blog:

“18 minutes past midnight, just finished for today. Jari “why do I have to follow the kick drum” Kainulainen has recorded bass for 8 songs already. We will finish the rest of the songs tomorrow.

The sauna is on, now we get naked (me, Jari and Chopin’s ghost who lives in this studio) and hit the sauna. Not literally. Uli “Ali the one way pilot”Kusch just sent us a mail. He is fishing in Narvik (attach a picture he sent). He is going for the big one. Not just anyone.  Lots of greetings, J & T”
