Yeah! During the last night`s studio session I finally finished all the rhythm guitars for the 13 songs and also all the rhythm guitars are doubled for a better sound. The next thing to do is the recording of lead/melody guitars and I will start with it as soon as I have worked them out. That`s all about the studio sessions for now. btw check out the new SF website www.systemflatline.com and sign the guestbook!
August 19: Summer Break
As you might have noticed, the last studio session of 14th July has been cancelled and right
now there are no recordings becouse of the summer holidays. The recordings will start again somewhere
in mid- or end-september when I come back from my holiday :P. In the meantime I`m working on a new rock/metal
festival together with PW (System Flatline singer) and we got some nice bands for ya to rock to. More info
about the fest & BB recordings after the holidays!.. keep on rockin`!
July 05: Studio Report No.12 & System Flatline pics!
Yesterday`s recordings session went pretty well. All the clean rhythm guitars are now recorded and
I think we will finish all the rest of (distortion) rhythm guitars in the next week`s session. And then
there will be a summer-break in recordings becouse of the holidays. That will give me the chance to work out
& improve the guitarsolo`s and melody guitars and also to check out some singers. That`s all about BB now.
Go to the pictures page and check out a lot of pics of my other/new band System Flatline. The pics are taken
during the rehearsels 2 weeks ago. Rock on!
June 24: Studio Report No.11
Yesterday, damn what a hot summer day :P, I did again some recordings. The rhythm guitar parts are almost finished,
I think in one or 2 sessions it will be finito :).. Yesterday I recorded rhythm guitars on 3 songs and also
doubled it for a better sound. Tony (the studio wizzard) will be later adding some keyboards parts on some of the songs,
but more about that in the future. Enjoy your summer bastards :P
June 10: Studio Report No.10 + WME-Rocks.com Radio
After a break, yesterday I started again with the studio sessions. I`m still working hard
on the guitar parts and last night we completed the rhythm guitar on 2 songs and also doubled those
guitar parts for a nice fat sound. And now something else: Tequila has been played on WME-Rocks.com radio on June 8
in the weekly live show of Marijn and Eik! So I wanna thank those dudes for playing the track! That`s all for now.. rock on!

Yesterday`s studio session was one of the most productive till now. First we spend
some time to find the right amp set-up and then started recording. I have recorded

April 27: NCRV/Ongekendtalent Top 40
Last two weeks two Black Bullet songs were in the NCRV & Ongekendtalent charts.
The songs made it into the top 5 at the same time! "Tequila" peaked at 3th place
and "Hot As Fire" at 4th on the same day. That means that songs will be played by
Ongekendtalent Radio. I want to thank everyone who voted and kept voting every day!
You all know who you are ;).. so thank you very very much! ..and keep rocking.
April 20: Studio Report No.8
Last night I finally started with the recordings of the guitar-tracks, and this will
be very diffrent than on the demo and it will probably take the most time during the
recording sessions. On almost every songs there will be 2 guitars on it
playing. A rhythm and lead guitar and if the song needs it the rhythm guitar will be
recorded twice to get that fat/thick sound. Yesterday we`ve recorded some clean-rhythm
guitars on 3 songs and next week om 28th of April we will continue with the recordings.
April 12: Studio Report No.7
The bass-recordings are completed! :) Yesterday we recorded the bass on the last
two songs, unfortunately the recording of "Hot As Fire" is lost so that means it won`t
be re-recorded for the album but with 13 songs left there`s more than enough work to
do. So now it`s time to record the guitars and that starts next week, also from now
on we`ll be making some video footage now and then during the studio sessions! And
you can expect to see some of those video`s right here at BLACKBULLETMUSIC.com.. so
stay tuned & rock on!
April 01: Studio Report No.6
Last night we`ve recorded bass on another 4 tracks, everything went really good and
I hope to finish all the basstracks in the next studio session. We did yesterday also
alot effects-tryouts to find something special and altough I`m not a big fan of using alot effects
I have to say that we`ve tried a few effects out that really add something to the sound without
losing the "raw" edge.. so I believie this will work out just fine.. that`s all for now.. rock on!
March 22: Studio Report No.5
The recordings of the album are now one step further because yesterday we`ve
finished the drumtracks for all the songs that I`m working on and also the bass
is recorded on 3 more songs. The next sessions is planned for the next week and
I can`t wait... :) also this little news: So What (Tony`s cover band, Tony is the man
who`s recording/mixing the Black Bullet album) will be playing on Springpop in Kruisland
this Friday with Golden Earing.. Check that out!
March 11: Studio Report No.4
