Congrats on getting sponsored by Wacken! I bet you guys will be playing the festival soon.
Given how quickly you guys did this, I"m just amazed at how good it came out. 7 days is just not that much time for as many songs as you pulled off so well done on pulling it off
We recorded at a pro place, the Kohlekeller Studios in Germany:
http://www.kohlekeller.deIts a pretty well known recording studio that specializes in Metal and Hardcore Musik. We could afford this because we are sponsored by the Wacken Foundation (Yes from the infamous WACKEN festival!). They help small bands with financial startup aid!
The recordings were done in 7 days. We recorded 4 songs (the last one is yet to be uploaded) - took us 2 days for drums, 3 for guitars, 1 for bass and 1 for vocals. Guitars used were two Gibson Les Paul Customs with EMG humbuckers through a Peavey 6505 and a Mesa Rectifier.
It was our first studio experience and we really enjoyed it although recording shows you all the flawes in your own playing!!!
