Progressive metallers Etherius have released the first video in a three part series detailing the making of their upcoming EP, Thread Of Life. The first part highlights drums, showcases recording and interview clips with drummer/producer Zaki Ali. In the video, Ali states:
“When I start to analyze a song for any band or project I’m asked to play for, there’s always this question of ‘how much does the artist want me to play what they wanted?’. The coolest thing about this was that Jay was like ‘do your thing’, and really just gave me the freedom, so to speak, to interpret what I wanted to with the melodies… that’s probably the best thing an artist can say to a drummer, because it really allows the drummer to translate the drum parts properly.”
Thread Of Life EP is scheduled to hit stores on August 24th. Pre-orders can be purchased on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.
