Album Remixed and Re-mastered
We may have jumped the gun in releasing our début album in June. This is a learning process for us in recording and producing our own music, and the fact is, what was released in June, just wasn’t produced very good.
We have now cleaned up and re-mixed all the recordings, and the improvements are ten fold. Don’t get us wrong, it is still lo-fi and rough around the edges, it was never going to compete with professionally recorded music, but what we have now is something that whilst being rough, has been done as good as is possible with the recording equipment we have.
Anyway, we should have them up into the online stores in the coming month, as well as making headway to getting the CDs manufactured. Official release date for the album is now 15th October 2009.
Oh yeah, we have some killer new songs in the line up just waiting to be recorded, it’s time to get this wagon rolling again. Watch this space.

Debut Album is Officially Released
Time to celebrate. I thought this day would never come, but it’s finally here. Our album is now officially available to purchase via most major download stores worldwide, such as iTunes, Amazon and Napster.
The album is the first release from our own label Epicene Records and will be available as a Limited Edition CD to 1000 pieces in the coming months. We hope you will all show your support and get yourselves a copy.
The album was recorded by trial and error in our own little home studio, basically some dodgy gear cobbled together in various bedrooms and a landing, if you’ve followed these posts you will know how it came about. The result is a raw, noisy, lo-fi album made with 100% passion and some awesome riffs, and we are proud of it.
It is the first of many to come from this strange vehicle known as Counts Of The Netherworld.

New Website
Hey hey!
Look at this shiny new thing. Got all the blog you need. Clicky things, and scrolly things, and a little red x that makes it all go away. That’s right, it’s a website. Took the best part of yesterday and today to do this. Yes, we are so down with the DIY crew that we even do our own website.
It still needs some adjustment and content and other boring things I find extremely interesting.
Look, we have the man himself watching over us, guiding us with his shining light.

She Rules The Earth
Happy new year.
We are releasing our first digital download single, which should hopefully hit the download stores 26th January 2009.
The song is from our upcoming album and is titled ‘She Rules The Earth’. We hope you will all buy a copy for anything you have that eats MP3’s.
This single will pave the way for the Counts Of The Netherworld album which is currently still being worked on, but very close to finished. We say very close, what we really mean is god knows.

Counts Of The Netherworld Album Plan
Well it was bound to happen. If you have a load of unfinished demos, 10 songs in total, and you are working on them all at once. You might as well be making an album. So that’s what we have decided to do. The thought had crossed my mind, but Sam bringing it up again, confirms that this is the right step forward.
So we now plan on re-recording all the guitar parts for the songs on both Volume 1 and 2 so they are on par with our current recordings. Currently Sam has completed vocals for both Volume 1 and 2 and is currently targeting Volume 3, he caught up fast.
We also plan to record one extra song. All albums need an epic last song. I think I have something in mind, a little riff I’ve had for only, what? 10 years just lying around doing nothing, it needs a home… it shall have a home.
So an 11 song album, recorded, well I’ve said it all ready, in less than adequate conditions and by only two people with a mic a piece. Sounds like a challenge to me. I foresee much stress. Who knows when this shit will get finished.
Coming soon, the debut album from ‘Counts of The Netherworld’, shit yeah!
One brick at a time, baby!
