"And now I am become Death..."

It's pure coincidence that the drums for "Days to Midnight" were recorded the same day Oppenheimer was released on DVD, but given the song's roots I think it's incredibly appropriate.  (Sadly I haven't got my copy yet.)

I found the first take of this drum part breathtakingly cathartic to witness.  Not only was it a testament to how good Escapade material can potentially sound, but it also crystallized in four exhilarating minutes the intense feelings that have been hidden in this song this whole time.  In many ways, that moment felt like the real beginning, and everything before it a mere warm-up.

I'm actually going on a much-needed holiday next week, but after that it'll be time for some bass guitar.  The lead and rhythm guitars are going in last on this track.
