After hours, days, weeks, months of hard work at the "Hermit Lounge" aka "Hermit Hole" aka "Crack Den", the new Bumblefoot album, with the very fitting title "Abnormal", is done...! The audio part of it, that is. Artwork and all kinds of other bits are still being worked on. However, in the meanwhile, the title track of the album is available for download FOR FREE, as of today. That's right... FREE.

This track will give you a nice taste of what's to come. The rest of the tracks you'll have to pay for (please..). But for now, enjoy this piece of musical insanity, and make it worth the blisters it caused when I recorded the drums for it:

I've been building a small recording studio since late last year. When I got the first basic recording tools early this year, I picked a random all-time favorite song of mine ("Go" by Pearl Jam) to mess around with. I recorded drums and bass to it myself, after which I had my friend guitarist Tommy Kessler come over to my studio to lay down some guitars. I then sent a mixdown to another great guitarist and long-time friend Tom Hakala in Finland, who laid down the other guitar track at his studio. The results can be found below. Anyone want to do some vocals?

The new Bumblefoot album is being mastered as we speak. It's sounding KILLER. I'm hoping we'll have some samples/teasers up online soon.
