What was the time frame for 'Shattered Shores'? From start to finish.
I would say that from scratch to completion it was about 10 months, we really took our time. I don't count The Faceless Shadow which as a song was pretty much written in December 2012 immediately after Born of a Dying Star was released. As we were going through all the songs on Shattered Shores and editing and rearranging them as a band, it got the same treatment; it just existed earlier than the others. Tracking took just as long as writing, and mixing took just a week or two. Mixing was a breeze this time because of the time spent getting the best takes we could while tracking, and we also invested in renting a top shelf preamp for guitars and vocals. Let's just say that once the incredibly stressful period of writing and tracking was over, it was a joy to mix compared to our first albums. Sending it away to Jens Bogren for mastering was a great investment and it really helped take the album to the next level. I'm OK at mixing but when it comes to mastering I feel I am far less capable, and we wanted this album to slay faces!
