Extremen Nuno Bettencourt: ”Meillä on työn alla 17 uutta kappaletta seuraavaa levyä varten”
Massachusettsista tulevan hard rock -yhtye Extremen kitaristi Nuno Bettencourt on antanut Gearphoria.com-sivulle haastattelun liittyen yhtyeen seuraavaan studioalbumiin, joka julkaistaan hänen mukaansa alkuvuodesta 2017. Bettencourt kertoi seuraavaa levyn tämänhetkisestä tilanteesta:
”We’re about 17 songs into it. We’re just wrapping them up. We’ve got to do vocals, some guitar. Slowly but surely. We’re going to release it early next year. Whether that’s February or early spring, but definitely not past the spring. This thing is coming out, even if I’ve got to leak this fucking thing out. We’ve been recording mostly at my home studio. The guys have been coming out periodically.”
Hän kertoi myös tarkemmin levyn nauhoituksesta ja sessioissa käyttämästään varustuksesta:
”I’m trying to incorporate this [signature guitar] N7 that I have — the seven-string. I struggle enough with six strings, but I’m trying to get some different sounds going. In a way, I’m also trying to go back a bit, simplify stuff. I’m not trying to do an album of the past, but I want it to be rock and roll, you know? I think that is what we need more than anything is to get some raw rock and roll out there.”
