Unmoored - Recording, Indefinite Soul-Extension (Studio Abyss 2002) 2/3 Video

Plec:

It's been seven years now since we occupied Studio Abyss together with producer Tommy Tägtgren to record Indefinite Soul-Extension. I brought my old video camera with me in hope of capturing some of the action at the studio. The old tapes have been laying around collecting dust since then, but before committing them to the fire (pun very much intented) we decided to digitize them and edit the material together for you guys. It's funny how time flies and it's a very strange realization that YouTube were three full years away from becoming a reality back then, so it's a very cool feeling being able to show you a behind the scenes of the recording at Studio Abyss and also to put up the very first studio session I ever had the pleasure of documenting.

Jesus fucking christ...was I a big fat blob back in 2002, or what....hell yeah! I look like a goat-bearded version of the marshmallow man from the movie Ghostbusters...hehe! Luckily my ravenous appetite seems to have fallen off a bit since then, not being quite the same big balded bloke these days. Flabbiness aside, I remember these recording sessions being a couple of very hectic ones, but also very inspiring and fun at the same time. A session of beer galore in convivial company, but many times also consisting of exhausting 16-hours working days. It was indeed a very demanding album to put together, in every aspect, so it's with joy, mingled with terror, I look upon this footage, cause it sure takes me back! I am however still very proud and satisfied with the outcome and what we all achieved and accomplished back then. This album is one of those rare ones that will always have a special place in my arteriosclerotic heart!
