masaki.jpgA bit off topic for Network Or Die, but I’ve just received a link to some solid recording studio tips from someone who knows!  Masaki Murashita is not only the front man for Hemoptysis (a band I heavily support), but an engineer and Artist Relations Representative for award-winning producer, Ryan Greene.

Masaki is currently writing for HookInMouth.net, a website covering underground metal bands.  Since Hemoptysis are currently in the studio (Read Official Press Release) recording their debut full length, he thought it would be the opportune time to cover the subject.

Damn!  Maybe I should have thought of having Masaki head up an audio engineering section on Network Or Die?  Well, as much as I hate to send you away, I highly suggest you check out Masaki’s advice by heading over to Getting Ready To Hit The Studio

Sounds a bit cliché, huh? The following video has restored my faith in the fans of unsigned/underground music. As publicist for HEMOPTYSIS, I saw this as a powerful marketing tool, developed by a true metal fan. Bands can’t buy this kind of publicity! My hat goes off to the man known as ‘guitarzero’.
