interview - SCAR OF THE SUN in art uber alles
- 13 years ago
Two years after the independent release of the self titled promo that tested the waters, acquiring great reviews and a lot of interest in the process, SCAR OF THE SUN finally finished composing the material for its first full length album.
In October ’07 the band entered the studio in order to record their debut album with engineers Stamos Koliousis (also in MENCEA and co-founder of SOTS) along with the group’s vocalist Terry Nikas. At the time the lineup was comprised byTerry Nikas (vocals, synths, samples and programming), Alexi Charalampous and Chris Veleris (guitars), Panagiotis Gatsopoulos (bass) and Achilleas Gatsopoulos (drums).
The band contacted and stirred the interest of high-profile producer Rhys Fulber (PARADISE LOST, FEAR FACTORY, WALTARI, MOTLEY CRUE, MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, MUDVAYNE, ROADRUNNER UNITED, NAILBOMB, P.O.D., ALICE COOPER etc) who agreed to collaborate with the band in co-producing and mixing the album.
The album is titled "A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies" and contains 10 tracks, spanning approximately 56 minutes of music. The whole production process (recordings, mixing and mastering) took a total of 11 months in order to be completed and the album took its final form in the beginning of September ’08. The album contains guest appearances by Mikael Stanne (DARK TRANQUILLITY), Bob Katsionis (FIREWIND), Marios Iliopoulos (NIGHTRAGE), Chris Antoniou (SEPTICFLESH) and Leah Randi (CONJURE ONE).
