<<"True Crime" process pt.3>>
Information on the vocal elements
of this project:
The vocals were recorded in a series
of stages, beginning in early March
1997, in Brooklyn. Layers of clearly
annunciated lyrics were combined
with distorted, guttural, feedback-
laden vocals, and these vocals
were mixed down to two tracks,
which were transferred to the ADAT's
during the June 1997 sessions in
Chicago. During the first Chicago
sessions, a track of live vocals was
added to all of the songs, and the
pre-recorded contribution from
Andrea Chiaravalli (Iugula-Thor)
was transferred to ADAT. During
the December 1998 sessions in
Chicago, the pre-recorded
contributions from John Balistreri
(Slogun) and Jonathan Canady
(Dead World/Deathpile) were
transferred to ADAT, and live
vocals were recorded by Ed Knigge,
his first vocal effort since joining
the band, along with Xavier Laradji
("Timeless" magazine), who was
visiting from Toulouse, France.
An additional layer of live vocals
was recorded for each song during
these sessions, bring the total
number of vocal tracks on ADAT
to either four, five, or six, depending
upon the song, and not counting the
multiple layers mixed down from the
Brooklyn sessions.
