A
t MILLION YEN Andy Gerber
recently assembled and mixed a
live album for Local H. Recorded
by engineer Dave Lugo while mixing live
sound on the band's European tour sup-
porting Helmet last spring, the release is
scheduled to coincide with the band's
return to Europe in 2018. According to
Gerber "the album was put together from
about 6 shows in different countries with
very different set lists, so a huge chunk of
the band's career is represented. It's also
funny cause we kept the stage patter from
each track, so you get to hear Scott Lucas
say "Thank you!" in like 3 or 4 different
languages!" The album was put together
between the Helmet tour and the much
Local H's Scott Lucas at Soldier Field, 2017
Live tracks being mixed at Million Yen
publicized Metallica tour.
Three acclaimed local metal bands
have been busy this past few months. The
Skull has entered DECADE MUSIC
STUDIOS in Chicago with engineer
Sanford Parker working on a new full
length album. Wrath is currently at BELLE
CITY SOUND in Racine recording their
followup to the 2014 release Stark Raving
Mad. Produced by Wrath and Chris Wisco,
the album should drop in early 2018
Funeral Nation's new album Molded
From Sin was just released and was
recorded at ACME STUDIOS in Chicago
and SATAN'S LAIR STUDIO in Glen Ellyn.
To get your studio or band listed in the
next Studiophile, deadline is December 15.
