The "Sousa Thumb" Hard at Work


What's Up Everyone!!!

So it's been awhile since I've had write up but we've been busy in the recording studio and things are moving along at a nice pace. We're pretty much done tracking all the guitars, with only vocals left now !!!

It's finally starting to take shape bitches!!!!  

I'm excited about finally hearing the whole thing done with both guitars, and solos completed, etc. We may have a little surprise on this album with a guest vocalist making an appearance from our buddies at My Hollow!! Graham and I spoke a while back about doing some vocals on each others songs and it looks like we're going to get the ball rolling on the idea so....you may....just maybe....hear vocals from Graham on one of our songs and vice versa on My Hollow's new recording!!

Our rehearsal space got a makeover as well during this whole process and I can't wait to get back in the space and begin jamming again and working on putting together a set so we can hit the stage again!

As for me just thought I'd let you all know that I met with my oncologist a couple of weeks ago and he gave me the all clear and doesn't want to see me for 3 months and now I begin the process of living my "new normal" life (scan every 3 months for the next year or so). 

Cheers \m/

Wall of Boobies :D


So after a long week of clean up, our studio is finally clean! All furniture has been rearranged  including all the posters. We organized them according to genre. Example : Marco’s wall has all the movie posters, Nelson and Jorge’s wall consists of all the band posters and random shit. The wall behind our couch has been designated as the Desolate Rage wall. Our flag is up along will all the posters from previous shows etc. really. Cool. Last but not least I have the privilege of housing the “WALL OF BOOBIES” Awesome!

Now on to our never ending recording sessions. LOL
Due to scheduling it’s been hard to get in there and pull off long and productive sessions but we are doing what we can with the time we have. Nelson is almost done his guitar tracks which will conclude the music portion of this project. On to vocals next. Then mixing and we are done folks.

This past Monday Toronto was hit with some nasty flooding. Not as bad as what happened to the good folks of Calgary but none the less pretty devastating. It took me 5 ½ hours to make it home from work that day. Arriving at my front door at 12:45 am. I was soaked head to toe. Many people got the royal shaft this day. With basement flooding and damages to cars etc. Desolate Rage offers our condolences and support to all effected by this shitty circumstance.


Till next time.
