It was really fun and quiet recording there, as not a lot goes on in a small city like that, so we really focused on recording. Eleven tracks totaling about 50 minutes, this is a concept album where every song has its own identity, and we made sure to have a lot of flavors and different rhythms and tempos throughout the whole process. The variations in the tracks may surprise some of you. The goal this time around was to focus on writing excellent songs, which we did. Producer Sebastien Marsan did a phenomenal job, and we are glad he took the time to work with us. Finally, this album will be out soon, and we can't wait to see you all when we hit the road with this new material." For more information, check out http://www.cryptopsy.net...

dry on the new tunes. I want the band to rely on their basic instincts and raw
impressions of the music. We want to capture a real adrenaline rush on tape.
In previous bands we always crafted our songs on the road, often for a year or
more before we finally recorded them I want to avoid sounding too slick or
comfortable. So Mach 5 has opted to live dangerously. We are diving straight
into the deep end while we are still just getting started as a band.” The CD
is scheduled for an early fall release...
