Album Recording Day 10 & 11
Days 10 and 11 in the studio - we are now at the exciting stage of the recording process where most of the music and vocals are done, and we are now applying the finishing touches.
Gideon came back into the studio today to record Glockenspiel on a couple of tracks. This is the first album that we are using the ‘glock’ on, and it sounds very awesome. It’s an instrument that...

Album Recording Day 9: Vocals
Day 9 in the studio - days and nights are blurring into one. So much has happened in the last 9 days that it’s getting hard to remember what happened on which day. Alison came into the studio today to record vocals on COME, DRAW NEAR, and SING WITH THE ANGELS.
Doing vocals is pretty fun, but pretty scary too. The microphones in the studio are insanely expensive, and they pick up...

Album Recording Day 6
Day 6 in the studio - still recording guitars. Today Ephraim Bano came in to record guitars on WE ARE CHAMPIONS, OUR GOD REIGNS, RELENTLESS GRACE, MORE OF YOU LESS OF ME.

I think people might be quite surprised when they hear this album as some of the songs are quite different to...

Album Recording Day 1: Drums
Day 1 in the studio to start tracking our album. This is the first studio album that we’ve done as a band (previously we’ve recorded two live albums), so it’s exciting to be doing something different this time. Although I love the atmosphere and passion that you get from live worship albums, they can sometimes be a bit stifling when it comes to musicality and creativity. Being...
