This time was the first time we actually had any type of ‘producer,’ so we were pretty excited to see how it was going to come out.” James spoke on the recording process. “We usually get very little input from engineers because we’ve always self-produced. Musically, the record was tracked at Martell Studios in Kingsland, GA and the vocals were handled by Audio Hammer in Sanford, FL (August Burns Red, Bury Your Dead, Trivium, etc.). The album was recorded in two separate studios which was a new experience for the band. It has been fun, crazy, frustrating, insomniatic and even with the inevitable pressure, pretty carefree.” Writing this album has brought us back to the beginning. We started this band for fun, and it lead us to success. In a way the band has come full circle back to its original home. An album which Outburn hailed as being “indeed badass, and as a band Evergreen Terrace takes a step forward.” Speaking on the significance of the new album’s title, James says, “We are a touring band, and it feels like we are forever saying we’re ‘almost home.’ Touring is something that nothing compares to, but there’s a feeling of almost being home that resonates with all of us. In April, the band entered the studio to record Almost Home, the follow up to their 2007 Metal Blade Records debut, Wolfbiker. It ended up being the easiest record for us to write because we had been through so much, and had so much built up inside of us.” All of the good, the bad, and the ugly things that had happened to us just poured out into these songs. When Craig, Kyle and I got into the practice space to start writing the new album, we didn’t know what to expect but it just flowed out of us. “We lost a long time member, gas prices we’re eating us alive and record sales were down across the board, all due to the hurting economy. “The last couple of years were the most challenging for us as a band.” Evergreen Terrace’s guitarist Joshua James spoke on their recent hardships. 19u / melodieuze metalcore / €12,50 Evergreen Terrace
