2014-06-20 02:00:25#TheHuntingParty Twitter Listening Party starts now. I'll be watching my @ mentions for your questions. Press play in 3...2...1...
2014-06-20 02:00:40Of all the songs, Keys to The Kingdom was my favorite to open the album because of the constant sonic surprises
2014-06-20 02:02:26The chorus vocal was a stream-of-consciousness vocal (and lyric) by Chester. He didn't write it down, just sang whatever came to mind.
2014-06-20 02:03:11That's me saying "Try and do the other thing"--I was talking to Rob when we were recording drums
2014-06-20 02:05:17The "I'm not allowed to say certain things" was a clip we put here because we originally had another clip...
2014-06-20 02:05:38But we weren't allowed to use it because of legal reasons!
2014-06-20 02:05:55"All For Nothing" features Page Hamilton from the band Helmet. Helmet was one of the bands whose aggressive / melodic sound was...
2014-06-20 02:07:13...one of my inspirations while writing #TheHuntingParty
2014-06-20 02:07:37If you listen, you can hear my vocal mixed with Page's in the chorus
2014-06-20 02:08:03The music behind the interlude before "Guilty All The Same" is an original piece. That's me singing "ohhh"
2014-06-20 02:08:29Guilty All The Same was the first song on #TheHuntingParty Rob recorded drums for. He worked up to this performance for about a month.
2014-06-20 02:09:23.@ask_brittany The artwork was a collaboration between @JamesJeanArt, us, and Ghost @gtmvfx #TheHuntingParty
2014-06-20 02:10:58Rakim is one of my favorite rappers of all time. His verse here is a perfect example of why. #TheHuntingParty
2014-06-20 02:11:46To me, Rakim's verse is the perfect mix of technicality, content, and emotional expression. #TheHuntingParty
2014-06-20 02:12:18The album began with a series of demos that were more electro/indie/alt. Then I realized I didn't want that.
2014-06-20 02:14:16GATS was one of the early demos that helped define the direction of the album. #TheHuntingParty
2014-06-20 02:14:37"The Summoning" was a sonic experiment that we added late in the process, to give the listener's ear a palette cleanser before "WAR"
2014-06-20 02:15:21"WAR" was a demo that Chester brought in. Very little changed between the demo version and the final. #TheHuntingParty
2014-06-20 02:15:51If you listen carefully, Chester actually says "1, 2...1-2-THANK YOU"
2014-06-20 02:16:55There was an alternate version where he said 1-2-1-2-F*CKYOU
2014-06-20 02:17:20My verses in "Wastelands" were written before the music ever existed. Just words on my computer. #TheHuntingParty
