This month, 2 years ago, @morganacolyte and @grondberg alongside original guitarist Frank Perna set out to craft a record that would eventually attract the remaining musicians they always hoped Acolyte would be made up of. Its safe to say their endeavors were successful in recruiting a world class lineup of musicians who are as we speak, are crafting what will certainly be their career defining record. For now it's always good to look back on what started it all & celebrate those roots, for they will forever be the foundation on which this group stand. Thank you 'Shades of Black'! Nominated - Best rock/metal record 2016 - The Age Music Victoria Awards Produced & Mixed by @bendesert at @singsingrecording , Mastered by @masteringmusicmasteringlife at Deluxe Mastering & artwork designed by @seandavidjames from @leonardbroscreative We cannot wait to show you what we have ready for the new chapter, but today we just want to take a moment to express our undivided thanks for all of your ongoing support & belief in us. Together, you & us are Acolyte; we are forever grateful! ❤ Morgs, Jase, Chris, Dave & Ben LISTEN: http://www.acolyte.com.au/music/

FROM THE STUDIO : VOCALS This week at HQ we enter the vocal lair of @morganacolyte featuring hand built timber walls, covered in red velvet and of course very dimly lit! Faced with 10 pages of lyrics & executing around 4 vocal styles for just track 1, this powerhouse has thrown it all out there. Like a work horse, not stepping away until she either physically had to or each part in her eyes was executed to her standard. It’s been quite the journey watching and hearing the final elements come together. @lukecincotta (Superstar aka Producer/Engineer) & Morgan went through every beautiful, vintage mic & ran them through every vintage pre-amp available from the studio's vault before settling on an original 1947 #NeumannU47 mic, run through a stunning #Neve1073 pre-amp & #Urei1176 compressor! We all feel this combo worked best for capturing the very diverse nature of Morgan’s voice across the track; accentuating the warmer tones, driving grit/metal/hardcore vocal lines & providing space for classical soprano lines. Once again we made @singsingrecording studio’s #SSL room our home! Great job Morgs & team! 🔥🔥🔥 📷: @chriscameron.drummer @neumann.berlin @bencam3103 @davidjvanpelt @grondberg
Happy birthday to our lord of low end @grondberg today! 😎🍻🎉 . . . #dingwall #bass #bassist #birthday #legend #acolyte #acolyteofficial #acolyteband #progressiverock #progrock #metal
FROM THE STUDIO : SYNTH / KEYS / EFFECTS This week we had our in house vintage enthusiast @davidjvanpelt step into HQ, bringing with him arguably the most elaborate set up our team has seen in the studio to date. Dave set out to step away from the digital re-creations of the famous sounds he holds near & dear, opting instead to source as much rare & original vintage equipment as possible. The very patient @lukecincotta (producer/engineer) & Dave spent hours experimenting and finessing over the finer details using a workstation comprised of #1957HammondC3 #Leslie3300 #MiniMoogModelD #ARPOdysseyMark1 #MoogSub37 #MellotronM4000D #KorgKronosX #MoogerFoogerMF102RingModulator #MoogerFoogerMF104mAnalogDelay #BossRE20SpaceEcho producing a true tone, expansive, dynamic & at times cinematic experience. Captured through @singsingrecording studios’s mighty #SSL console! Special stuff Dave, we all think this could be your most career defining result to date! 🔥🔥🔥 . . Special shout out to @korgaustralia who continues to support & endorse Dave on his musical journey! . . 📷: @chriscameron.drummer . . @officialhammondorgan @korgofficial @moogsynthesizers @bossfx_us @mellotronfactory @grondberg @bencam3103 @morganacolyte . . #moog #minimoog #hammond #vintage #korg #arpodyssey #moogerfooger #mellotron #kronosx #ringmodulator #analogdelay #musician #acolyteband #acolyteofficial #progressiverock #alternative #synth #keys #effects
Happy birthday to this legend! You’re truly one in a million! To many more years mate! 🎉🍷🤘🏽🔥 @davidjvanpelt . . Original photo by @electrumphotography & re-edited by @morganacolyte
