Sander Gommans(After Forever) zet HDK nummer online [update]

[06-04-07]
Een update van Sander over zijn project HDK:

“The past 11 days, I’ve recorded a lot of the vocals for the HDK project together with Amanda Somerville, who did a great job as usual!

It’s great to have a native American speaker like her present, who also has a great voice and is extremely focussed. Sometimes I get a little bit distracted by my he-man collection, but luckily she’s there to make the recordings work out!:)

We recorded these guys (and girl) so far:

  • Andre Matos (see previous blogs, very proud to have him on the album, check out the song Request)
  • Amanda Somerville (well known by a lot of you, see did a great job, her vocals will make the project even more versatile)
  • Patrick Savelkoul (screams/grunts: singer of Callenish Circle, unfortunately the band just quit. Patrick had some really extreme parts to sing, also rythmwise, but it seemed to be no problem for him, vocals straight from hell:-)
  • Jos Severens (clean vocals/ex singer Sustain, believe me, one of the upcoming Dutch talents!)
  • Paul Niessen ( agressive rap stuff/ one of Reuver’s (my hometown) first succesful rock musicians, singer of the band I Witness in the mid-nineties!)
  • Sander Gommans (yep, I decided to invite this guy too, because his parents paid me for this:-)

    • The upcoming time, I’ll be performing with After Forever a lot, so I guess I have to finish the songs after the tour before the summer, I’ve still got some interesting guestmusicians in mind!

    Expect some short samples soon!”

    After Forever gitarist Sander Gommans heeft een nummer van zijn project, HDK , geupload op zijn MySpace.

    Het nummer draagt de titel Request en is volgens Sander een van de meer melodische nummers. De zang op het nummer wordt verzorgt door André Matos (ex-Angra, Shaaman, Virgo), de grunts die te horen zijn zullen heropgenomen worden.
