THE MOST EVIL SPELL Single Release!!!

Check out our single "THE MOST EVIL SPELL" at myspace and see our new video! Plus get the new single for free!

"We thought a lot about giving away our music for free, with all the work and sweat we invested in it, " frontman Christoph reflects upon the sense or nonsense of such a special. "But in the end we decided that this was the perfect way of saying ThankYou to our fans, for supporting us over the years. We know we're actually just giving them something in advance. So this more like a little appetizer. We're giving them a fix so to speak." 

Christoph is confident, that giving a single track away for free will motivate the audience to go and get "THE BLACK PATH", to be released on the 04.04.2008.

Request "THE MOST EVIL SPELL" at you're local metal-club! Get your DJ to play the new EMIL BULLS single! (he'll catch an "evil spell" if he doesn't...)

Feel free to leave a comment here or at myspace.com/emilbulls 

See ya!

We're back in our beautiful home in Munich, no time to rest though. This time it's the 4Ohm Studio and Klaus Scheuermann, who produced "The Southern Comfort". He will give "THE BLACK PATH" the final touch. And even if we wondered how he was going to make something near perfect even better, he succeeded at doing so. Sounds pretty heavy! Yes sir!

"THE BLACK PATH" mix has just been completed at 04:40 AM!!!

The Mix - Final Touch

Hello all,

for a change this is our heroes' management writing. Since the musicians are all busybusy and only leave the mix for a smoke, food or a dump I thought I'd keep you updated with the latest news. Yesterday we had the press -namely the Rockoon - at the studio for a mice little studio-report. You don't want to miss that.
Plus we got a visit from studio-owner, producer-legend and Eloy-fronter Frank Bornemann who dropped in to see what our boys are up to.
He was well impressed by our producers' skills and how they lift the Bulls' sound to new spheres. He also had a couple of great stories to tell, which he did with great enthusiasm. In the end he stayed for 2 hours. Very amusing.
About the sound: This is the first time for me hearing the new recordings. And I can say that I couldn't say a thing anymore. Unbelievably good, great, phenomenal. Never have I heard Christophs voice so multifaceted. The Songs are just brilliant. I'm really impressed by the band, Beny Richter and Jakob Bernhart who is mixing a sound some megastars would die for. I'm very very happy.

All the best to you,

Management

The Mix

A big fat hullo and how do you do from Hannover!

We're heavily involved in the mix and it's already clear that Mr J-Dawg is laying down the most brutal EmilBulls mix ever. It's the BOMB!

Matthias Mineur popped in for a Metal Hammer Studio report today. And even though the mix isn't quite through yet, we had to give him a little something of what we've been up to here. And as we were talking about the album I realised how far we've come from the beginnings in our mountain refuge in the south. Cut off from the world, we were writing the heaviest Emil Bulls material ever, or rather they just oozed out of our fingertips. We didn't plan for it to be so brutal and were actually quite surprised. But we liked it and there was nothing we could do about it anyway.

Countless conversations, discussion, demoversions, considerations and so on, and now we're here sitting in Hannover and the sound coming from the speakers screams a "Hell Fucking Yeah!" at us.

That's pretty cool. Still it's time to call it a day for now. There's that point where you don't hear properly anymore, right?

That's why it's enough for now. We'll be back for more tomorrow. I can't wait!

All the best

Chrissy

Pledge Allegiance To The Damned (The Unseen One)

The demosong "Pledge Allegiance To The Damned (The Unseen One) is waiting for your ears at www.myspace.com/emilbulls !

Listen and Comment please. We're very excited!

High spirits = Great vocals

Even through the glas separating the the desk from the vocal booth

And as were all having such a great time, the others can join our choir (Benny, Thomas of Butterfly Coma and Chrissy).

And to keep it up there's those excellent fast-food-junk-whatevers from time to time.

Today's the last day of vocal recordings. Those little "fuck"s and "hey"s and "aaah"s and "oooooh" are just being finished before the vocal tracks will be taken to Hannover, to be placed in Jakob's Mix. This is a quit a logistic task, but hey it's all for that one purpose: the album of the year.

Attention, hold your breath, here we go:

Tonight by about 9 PM CET we'll upload yet another demosong for "THE BLACK PATH" to our Myspace page (myspace.com/emilbulls)!

"Pledge Allegiance To The Damned (The Unseen One)" is waiting to bust your synapses and generally rock your socks off. 

Yeehaw!

Adios

Chrissy
