Yes that was actually me. It's safe to assume that the mix will be handled by James Meslin as well (or Jimmy T as the band refer to him) for all we know now. He worked with them on the Xanadu cover. (and I liked that) Chycki had never been mentioned by Petruccinator or anyone else, both in the writing process and afterwards)

I wouldn't assume that. DT has often had different people engineer vs. mix a record. This Jimmy guy might mix it, he might not.

You're right of course.

The most recent snippet video (september 6th), there's one part that REALLY stood out to me as sounding really awesome and fresh was at 0:38

Well, according to Mike Mangini:
Quote
Xanadu was a 2nd pass, 1-Take with a few punch-ins recorded/finalized and pass off by Jimmy T. at a soundcheck during the I.A.W. & More Tour ... with used heads to boot... it was post-engineered and mixed by Chycki.

Taken from: https://www.facebook.com/MikeMangini/posts/1553391441376275?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAsxI4hHWtr-4hDGi4zTmxKuW6OqURmau5YE-ERiuGKLZrNAnviHR70oVs1tfT598u5TrF1IBOZLEP9hiIPBUWHtocs-NmRl3QyNtMONeuGY2SardjgDRz96c2fDla1OnvRUrDtfc2I__SzK4GUpdrIUJPUlCF9KYT4DNncs4TsAu8vokNS5g&__tn__=-R

So, while Jimmy T certainly tracked it, it was Chycki who mixed the Xanadu cover as well.
It sounds like, "ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk, ruk." Instead of the more pleasing kick drum sound of, "gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk, gzarruk."

Back on topic (sorry about my thread derailment): This is a Facebook post by James from today: "Vocals are going down killer on the new album.
Speak soon and keep it cranked." (so he apparently isn't finished yet but it's advancing pretty well), see here: https://www.facebook.com/officialjameslabrie/posts/2215701908472020?__xts__

So today's the photoshoot and James should (hopefully) finish recording very soon. Hype is real!

Seems like we are close to the revelation ...
I bet some people are starting to speculate about DT14's tour setlist.

BTW. I expect the release date to be January 2019. The recording process was quicker than I expected..

As we all know, albums typically need three months of promotion. So, if they are going to have it out in January, we should start seeing something promoting it in the next 30 days. If not, safe to assume it'll be February or later. My guess is, given how polarizing The Astonishing was, the marketing will be a bit more this time around in an attempt to get people on board early. Guess we'll find out!

I think they are already kind of promoting it with the posts and the snippets on social media. TA's music was kept secret until TGOM came out, and the concept was partially announced with the "Rebel or Empire" subscription on their website.. With all the updates of DT14 they have given us since June they created a hype like It was a sort of "mini-promotion" considering that most of DT fans wanted a more Classic DT album after TA

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bntg0DxHDAc/?taken-by=dtimages FINISHED!

One of the hashtags is #2019, so, I think it pretty much ends the discussion about the album being released this year. Only a really strong demand by the band or the label to change that, and I guess that won't happen.

So let it come!! Can't wait to hear this album  :metal

Yeah, it's a little bit confusing. It might be that James recorded (or, at least, finished recording) his vocals somewhere else, and John announced the last day of the studio being used for 'instruments' recording. Once he was done with his overdubs/solos, that was it.

That's how I interpreted it, anyway.

Thanks for the heads up! I just updated the first post.

Audio clips sound promising enough and I truly hope the album will be in the spirit of the first four albums.

No problem! While lurking (and then researching) the forum for years, I noticed someone does this sort of thing everytime a new album is produced. I figured I'd contribute this time around. :)

Also, the last riff on the teaser they released is the same as one in Haken's Nocturnal Conspiracy :P
