Photoshoot

The photoshoot for the first album took place outside during winter, it was freezing cold. This time we were smart enough to choose the comfort of a nice warm photostudio

After adjusting the lighting and putting on some music we were ready to start posing
(Tip: white guy next to the lights and tanned guy in the dark ... doesn't work)

A lot of pictures were taken that evening, and we had a lot of fun (resulting in some bad pictures)

Our favorite one made it to the album booklet, the other pictures will be available on our website soon.

A big thank you goes to Rudy De Doncker for taking the pictures. You can see more of his work at www.rudysphotos.com.

Album Artwork

Of course the album can't be finished without the artwork and we must say that Sven "Svencho" (of Aborted fame) did a more then very nice job! (www.dirged.be)

For those who expect lots of blood and gore ... guess again

The artwork for our new album had to radiate what it stands for ...
"Sign Of Devotion" and Svencho absolutely translated that perfectly.

Studio Report - Mastering

For the Mastering part we turned to Raf Roesems (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Triggerfinger, .Calibre, Janez Detd ... ) at the Alamo Sound Services.

While Raf worked his magic, we had plenty of time to discover the different studio areas
From the big SSL console to the PlayStation ... although we only had a chance to play around with the last one

Raf did a fantastic job on this final step in the album process.
