new studio update

Timo Tolkki and Symfonia have issued the following studio update:

Still here in Sweden recording Andre’s vocals. Some of the vocal lines are…how should I put it…rather “extensively difficult”, but Andre has been singing really well. The picture you see is my “working station” where I sweat my butt daily for 10 hours. It’s called “Mother 128”, don’t ask me why.
There is something very special in spending a long time in a place where there is NOTHING but snow. You really start hearing your own voice. I am 100% convinced that if we would bring someone let’s say from New York here for 2 weeks, the person would go nuts.
The silence is just incredible. Not a single sound. Yesterday I saw 2 baby deer’s walking 4 meters from the cabin we are recording and lot of rabbits. Maybe I should call to Lou Marullo.

Symfonia, Tolkki – Matos – Kusch – Kainulainen – Härkin -project, has issued the following studio update on band’s official website:

“Drum recordings finished with very nice results. Had a great time with Uli and Ronny of Saint Deamon who was helping in producing the drums and has a wonderful but sick sense of humor. It turned out that also the studio owner is a drummer, so I was surrounded by three drummers!! Now we are preparing for recording Jari’…s bass.Trying to get the first documentary “making of” asap online about Uli’s drumrs. Cheers,t”

Tolkki – Matos – Kusch – Kainulainen – Härkin, none of these musicians need an introduction.

They are all legends among the melodic metal community. By sheer coincidence, they all found themselves living on the same continent, in Scandinavia. They decided to join forces and express their talents in the form of a new melodic metal project: SYMFONIA.

Honoring the heritage of their previous bands Stratovarius, Helloween, Angra and Sonata Arctica, SYMFONIA continues their superb melodic metal tradition with an incredible musicianship that is a match made in heaven. This is a force that no serious melodic metal fan will be able to ignore. SYMFONIA will make its World Premiere 18.2 at the Finnish Metal Expo, an International Metal Meeting, where they will take the stage at 11PM in the evening.

The recordings for the debut album of SYMFONIA has started in November at Studio Mega in Sweden, for a Spring 2011 release.
