E-FORCE, the band featuring former VOIVOD bassist/vocalist Eric Forrest, has entered the studio in Toulouse, France with producer Patrick Fredrich to begin recording its sophomore album, tentatively due in early 2007 via France's Thundering Records. Forrest has sent the following recording update to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:"We got started a bit later than scheduled, but all is well... After just two days, [guitarist] Cyril 'Yngwie Jr.' Bernhard has completed seven songs on rhythm (times four) guitar... With his Laney amp and a Peavey 5150, he is shredding up a storm!! The producer Patrick Fredrich says, 'Eric, you are really lucky to have this guy.' I said, 'Yes, I know.' Recording some bass and more guitar later this week (with drum machine) after vocals, and drums last."
As previously reported, E-FORCE have posted three songs from their 2006 demo on their MySpace.com page. Check out the tracks "Lobotomized", "Agent 99" and "Exterminator" at this location.
E-FORCE's current lineup includes Bernhard — who has been influenced by the likes of Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman and Andy Larocque, among others — and drummer Boris Lugan. E-FORCE's next album release is expected to include collaborations with Alex of AGRESSOR as well as Tim and Kevin Guttierez of PROJECT: FAILING FLESH. Moreover, Eric has decided to re-record/cover a song from the unreleased VOIVOD 2001 demo as a tribute to late VOIVOD guitarist Denis "Piggy" Da'Amour.
E-FORCE's debut album, "Evil Forces", was released in October 2003 via Season Of Mist Records.
I knew that E-Force was gonna do a Voivod cover. But what i didn't know was that it will be a song of the 2001 demo !!!
GREAT MARVELOUS WAY TO GO ERIC.
