They opted for a semi-live production, with the core of the songs being tracked over the first weekend and then the following days adding guitar over dubs and vocals. They were in session with our very own Carl Brewer and his production brand Pointy Halo Productions. Hats off also to Ollie Eardley of OE Drum Co. who did a fantastic job of being drum tech!  Guitar amps and cabs, drums and bass setup in Room 1 for live recording Here's a bit about the guys... "Midnight Prophecy are a 5 piece heavy melodic metal band; based in Liverpool (UK), who formed in late 2015. The group of Craig Cairns on Vocals, Christopher Dixon & Danny Quayle on Guitars, Peter Mansfield on Bass and Sam Caldwell on Drums & Percussion. They fuse earth shattering drums, galloping heavy bass with powerful melodic guitar riffs, combined with sensational old school vocals, for an awe-inspiring deliverance of metal into one coherent and pure driving force. Their sound has evolved from a mutual love of great music to create a blend of power, groove and melody that entrances and excites music lovers, having provided support for bands such as: The Jokers, Disquiet, Twisted Illusion & Maiden Lancashire."  Sam Caldwell celebrates drum tracking completion! Taking influence from history & mythology, there main influences consist of: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon, Helloween & Gamma Ray and plenty more!
Their hotly anticipated album is due for release early in 2018. You can check out their Facebook page here Catch them live this Wednesday November the 1st at Studio 2 on Parr Street, Liverpool.

We'll begin our new blog with a little expose for one of our regular bands here at Red Wall, Faith In Glory. They recorded their excellent first album Opia with our in-house engineer Carl Brewer and are currently occupying one of our permanent rooms. Here's what they have to say about themselves... "The members include Jack Collins on Guitar and Aiden Collins on Bass, they are the bands vocalists as well as being the bands brothers, Ollie Eardley on Drums and Backing Vocals, and Brendan Bell on Guitar and Backing Vocals. We would like to give a shout out to some of the people who have helped us so far, we want to say thank you to Carl Brewer, who recorded and produced our album, Opia! Matt Darwell (Jack and Aidens brother who has done more for the band than anyone would actually realise), Matt Seddon of Moshaholic Promotions, Keith Vaughton of Keith Vaughton Photography, Aaron Slater of Aaron Slater Design, Ashley Pomfret of Excel Records and all of our family, friends and fans for the constant support.  The band originated back in November of 2014, Jack and Ollie (Who had been in previous bands together) decided they wanted a long overdue jam, but rather than it being just the two of them, they wanted to get other members involved. Jack knew Brendan through his work, and knew that Brendan played guitar but had no real idea what style he played and what level of ability he was at. They brought him along anyway and they instantly clicked, after realising this could actually work, they went on the look for a bassist. After a week of no luck they grew impatient so Jack literally told his brother Aiden that he was the new bassist (Bearing in mind, he had never picked up a bass before this phone call) and he accepted the offer. It wasn't until January 2015 that the band officially formed as they had a few issues to iron out, like Aidens lack of ability and motivation, there was no band name and had no clue what direction the sound was going in, but since then Faith in Glory is becoming a known name in the British Hard Rock Genre with the name spreading as far as South America. Our style has been compared to the likes of Alter Bridge, Black Stone Cherry, and Tremonti but with a British edge. In an ever growing Rock Scene in England, we strive to grow and improve with every single gig we play, and because of the dedication and passion we put into our own music we quickly gained a following which is ever growing."  You can catch them live tonight supporting Blaze Bayley (Wolfsbane, Iron Maiden) at Sound Control in Manchester, along with Babylon Fire. Below are some links to listen to their tunes and stalk... ahem follow them on social media :) |
