| Scale The Summit Begins Recording New Album Houston, Texas-based progressive-instrumetalists Scale The Summit have entered Paint It Black Studios in Orlando, Florida with producer Mark Lewis (Devildriver, All That Remains, The Black Dahlia Murder) to begin recording their new album for an early 2011 release via Prosthetic Records. Commented guitarist Chris Letchford: "We have been home writing for quite some time now and I'm excited to say that we just made it to Orlando this morning to start work on our next record with with Mark Lewis. I have been a fan of the production work that he has been doing for many years now. I love the 'hugeness' of the recordings he does and I felt that is what was missing from our last record. "We're all really excited to be working with Mark on this one. We have been working out a lot of new dynamic ideas for this new record and I know he is the guy to really help us capture all of it. "We'll be doing 12 songs this time, all of which are really a step up from our latest album. "I can't wait to get these songs finished and released for everyone to hear." Scale The Summit's Prosthetic Records debut, "Carving Desert Canyons", came out last year. The CD was recorded at New Jersey's Nut House Recording Studio with producer Tom Beaujour. "Carving Desert Caravans" was the follow-up to Scale The Summit's self-financed full-length debut, "Monument", which received critical praise upon its release in 2007. Letchford released a guitar instructional book, "Chris Letchford's Guitar Technique Book", on January 2, 2010 via the band's official web store. The book includes 52 custom exercises that Chris has written out for six-string guitars. It is described in a press release as "a perfect book for building your chops and mastering the fingerboard! Great for all styles of music, from classical to metal, rock, latin, jazz, and country. [The book is] also spiral bound, which makes it stay open when laying flat or on a music stand!" write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Jazz News :: home page |
