However, not in Ohio, goneblind is at 4th Street Studios in L.A. with producer Jim Wirt. Ill Nino – writing away, they are…writing fools, they are to be…word has it, they have already laid down four new tracks to tape during rehearsals. Expect them to record the follow up to their Revolution…Revolucion debut starting February. Killswitch Engage – touring & working on their next release. Band will start writing in January! Rumblefish – recording finished…just waiting to get this bad boy mixed. Should happen before the end of the year.
