Dear avid Disciples of the watch,

Salutations once again from the very epicentre of the vampyric, night-time kingdom - Ambergate, Derbyshire.

The weather now has turned from the rather sporadic and humdrum to the Summer glorious perpetual. Flocks of chattering birds brightly harangue the trees and Mother Nature has cast a blanket of deep blue skies and heady opiates upon our verdant sleepy vale. Middle England is in bloom. And so is the album.

Dave has finished his bass in the past week, his exemplary rumblings complimenting and underpinning the the overall voraciousness of the tracks, from the massive majestic slow grind sections, right through to the abundant blasts and punch-you-straight-in-the-face style riffs, his five-string prowess provides the perfect blackened heartbeat to our ravening beast.

Sarah has been, sung and sallied forth into the sun, having lent her voice to the epic 'The Death Of Love' and 'The 13th Caesar' (which sound all the more excellent for it) and slowly but surely we're easing into the beginnings of the mixing stage (as opposed to settling into the baths of warm blood that we're used to) with Paul finishing solos and aligning the orchestral elements, Andy assembling and tidying the tracks and me now three-quarters of the ride through my vocal takes with engineer Doug. There have been some small leisurely breaks in-between, which have also provided us with the time to become Olympic frisbee throwers, avid plastic footballers, budget cooks and even lower budget horror movie critics, as well as daredevil skateboarders and garden enthusiasts. I have even got some time out to visit my voice therapist in London (it may sound a tad arty-farty, but believe you me it can be a painful experience having your larynx physically manipulated) and enjoy a beautiful and exhausting weekend visit from my wife Toni.

Next week will hopefully see the recording fully completed (i'm becoming a God parent at the weekend, so i'm hoping to be almost wrapped by then, if only to get sloshed for the first time in eight weeks...) aside from the guest narration and the choir (which are being visited soon to be shocked witless by their impending involvement!).

We can also reveal our guest narrator to be none other than Candyman himself, the horror icon Tony Todd. His talking parts are in the writing with a view to being executed in a few weeks time. Very exciting indeed, especially for a total horror movie buff like myself!

So that's it for this week's blog, thanks for reading from it, I'm sure in some small way it infects your life in positive way.

Godspeed on the back of the Devil's thunder.
