I really kind of thought I&#8217;d be used to this by now as this is the 5th one Metroid Metal has done, but this one was no less hectic and exciting.  I&#8217;m not as nervous as I was for the first couple, but I somehow managed to not actually go to the expo itself.  I spent most of the time either at our table or at the venue.  I did get a little hang-out time and that was cool.  Actually, one of my favorite parts about this one was an increased sense of camaraderie between all the bands.  I really appreciated and enjoyed that.  But now it&#8217;s back to the real world and that means trying to get back into the groove of recording this album.<\/p>\n<p>By my count, there are 6 songs with drums recorded.  Most of them have at least a scratch bass track recorded, and one of them has guitar and vocals!  I&#8217;ve got several more songs in the works, and it&#8217;s just a matter of getting them practiced and recorded.  Kevin has been unavailable lately (at least when I&#8217;ve been available) but things are in flux in his world, so hopefully it&#8217;ll all settle down soon enough. <\/p>\n<p>The good thing about being away from all these songs for a little while is they&#8217;re exciting and fresh now that I&#8217;ve come back to them.  The bad thing is I may have forgotten how to play a couple of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is becoming a theme.
