There was a mixing for one of new songs, 'Seventh Hell', at Triade studio. This song will be the first track of our new album and three guitarists, Satoshi and two others (guests), each played with different style. Main guitarist is Zoltan Fabian from Age Of Nemesis (Hungary). His style is quite unique. The mixing went well.
Keiko brought lovely Christmas cake and we all had a break and Satoshi and Hiro-tan took some pics of us.
The recording of new album is getting along well and according to our plan, the album will be released next summer and they will have some gigs after that.
