The (old) new string sounds great on the recording, I'm glad to tell you
We recorded in our rehearsal space, as we did with our two previous albums, but this time the heat was a challenge. It is a one-storied building with a more or less flat roof and it's not insulated at all. On the first day of recording, we had a temperature of at least 37 °C outside (that's about 99 °F), and inside it was even warmer...
But thankfully we managed to get through the day without any incidents, nobody collapsed.
Fortunately, the following days were a little cooler.
