RVPDRUMS updates for FEB 2005

Here's the updates I just released on http://www.rvpdrums.com .....
Feb 20th 2005
Thing's have been busy in the RVP camp of drumming !
First off, I'll announce that March 7th-9th will be the recording date in which I'll record the drumtracks for Non-Human Level featuring Christofer Malmstrom on guitar (Darkane), Gustaf Hielm on Bass (ex-Meshuggah), Peter Wildoer on vocals (Darkanes Drummer) and myself on drums. The drumtracks will be recorded by Jay Van Poederooyen at Greenhouse Studio's, who have hosted such acts as Bon Jovi, Nickel back, Queensryche to name a few.
Listenable Records out of France, is the label that Non-Human Level will be under for this debut recording. As soon as I'm done recording the drumtracks, they will be sent over to Christofer and company back in Sweden where they will finish the recording. A note for you drum fanatics....I'll also be videotaping some of my recording session. I'll eventually compile an MPEG for download at rvpdrums.com for you all to see in the near future. The music is pretty intense and so is the drumming ! I'll update you more on this project when my tracks are done....
Other news.... I'm working on Russell Bergquist's solo stuff as well. I'll be tackling his music and recording it right after the Non-Human Level stuff is done. Russ' music is very cool but far from the Annihilator music you've heard him play in the past. He's got a very versatile sound going on with some awesome Bass playing, the music varies from real heavy to progressive-rock and lighter sounding music.
As far as the Devin Townsend Band goes... Dev has given all of us DTB guy's some rough demo's of the music for the new album and we are all working on our parts. The DTB DVD is almost finished as well, it looks and sounds very cool as Dev put's it. Thing's are pretty busy for Dev with Strapping Young Lad releasing their new album, touring, producing bands and working on the new DTB... So be patient and you'll be rewarded with this AWESOME piece of work that Dev has written as the 2nd DTB album.
My solo album is still in the works. With all that's on my plate right now it's hard to put a ton of time into it right now. I'm still writing lyrics (for all the song's) and coming up with new song's and idea's. I've spoken to all the guest's recently, who are going to appear on my album and it looks like we'll be aiming for the summer of 2005 to record this sucker ! I can't wait !
Lastly, thanks to all who have come to the RVPDRUMS Discussion on the Hevy Devy Forum's ! It's great to talk to all you fan's on these forums. I appreciate the support and have been more than happy to answer your questions whenever I can. Thanks for the support ....you all RULE !!!!!
Well there you have it for February 2005, back to sweating my bag off learning this Non-Human Level stuff...CRAZY.... talk to you all soon !
