The idea was to warm up for the new record late or early next year, the demo tape was found by the record company, Michael Andersen from Mighty Music/From the vault, liked the songs and asked me if it was ok to re release it.
You have been back on the studio making a new album, can you tell a bit about the work behind the scenes?
We recorded the drums in antfarm studio, Tue Madsen was/is behind the mixer, and he is very very good I think, we have recorded everything now, and Tue Madsen is gonna mix all the songs.
