| Too loud for Nacksving! | May 2008 |
| After two days our sessions at Studio Nacksving were forced to a halt. What seems to have been the problem is that Generous Maria is too loud! Studio Nacksving is located in a residence building, but has never under its 30 years of exictence had as many and as furious complaints from the neighbours as during the first days of Generous Maria recording! So we were given two options; turn down the volume or stop the sessions altogether. We chose the latter. However, you can't stop rock 'n' roll, can you? The morning after we put up our gear at Studio Drive-By Recordings and continued the sessions. | |
| Entering Studio Nacksving | May 2008 |
| We´re entering the legendary Studio Nacksving on the 17th of May. For a few days we´ll be laying down the basic tracks for what is going to be our third album, tentatively entitled 'Black Dwarf Revolution'. | |
