Exilium - Studio Diary (Part 1)

[@Necronomicon66]

Basically a “fuck you, Ville. I can do this without your ego.” And I love it!

[@clearingrubble]

Already sounding better than Ville ever has

[@LifeHawkeye]

Best album of 2024! A complete gem. Andy’s album documentaries are my favorite ones out there, this man is a treasure!

[@TerryWest91]

6:58 this guitar looks fantastic

[@anasjacobs4130]

Hope you re recovering well Andy. God bless you. Cheers

[@ShawnSmiths]

Excited for this release! Thanks for sharing a behind-the-scenes look at your process-it's a rare treat these days, and I really miss when bands did this more often.

[@andygillion]

I don't know why more bands don't. I feel like the final product isn't the only thing people care about and the process is super interesting

[@BEARDEDCLAMUSA]

100% Agree ​@@andygillion

[@kokkolintu3528]

Absolutely! 💯 Yes, I understand that recording behind-the-scenes stuff takes a bit of planning, and editing it all together can be a real pain in the ass... But the end result is so interesting for the fans - and pieces of the band's journey that the band itself might like to revisit later. 😊 Plus, it's always possible that new fans find the band through these videos. (Just like I found Mors Principium Est mostly thanks to Andy's behind-the-scenes videos 😅😅)

[@Williamstanway]

That Deamoness is still one of the nicest guitars I have ever seen all these years later , I still remember the video you did with the song "freak me"

[@andygillion]

Hahah I rewatched that the other day. Still a good laugh!

[@drabbster]

You know, it's Wintersun release day and yet I'm here, hyped af for your album release! I hope you understand the gravity of those words!

[@andygillion]

I do, and I highly appreciate your..."time" :D

[@haganem]

15:00 This entire clip is so fucking awesome man, I seriously can't get over how sick your vocals are! I hope you recover well from your back injury and that whole ordeal mate ❤

[@ReaktionæreDennis]

What's the runtime of the album going to be, Andy?

[@andygillion]

You're the only person to ask and therefore the only one to find out :D 35 mins 30 secs!

[@thewavehimself7672]

Can't wait to hear the full album. All the best parts of MPE but with good sounding vocals! Really love these making of videos as well, keep em coming. Cheers!

[@christianrushpostpro]

I live for studio content like this. Thanks for the insight!

[@andygillion]

My absolute pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@adamscott5307]

These diaries are a grand old time. I'm not privvy to this "Pen Trick" on the mic but I saw a happy doggo shortly after so it doesn't matter 😂 Distributors sound brutal man, even tbough it's a ball ache, it seems you ARE better off doing it yourself, hmmm tricky stuff, something to ponder over a Yorkshire Tea and a Digestive for sure.

[@andygillion]

Gotta keep the doggos happy! Couldn't have tracked these vocals without Yorkshire Tea!

[@legionIAMBELIAL]

I took a sabbatical from asking, but i am now back......"dead winds of hope" playthrough! PLEASE! But no shit for real brother, tough times reveal true character, and yours is true and unwavering. Great, epic things can start off as a tragedy. You no longer have to live in the shadow, you can now cast your own! Keep it up brother, i look forward to your journey!

[@mehdiboussaid4511]

this album is aleady a masterpiece !

[@simonbuildsastudio]

Andy, I absolutely love Prophecy and can’t wait for the full album. The journey you went on to learn how to scream and then find the tone for the album is so inspiring. You are such a unique talent and the vision you bring to each album is next level. Thanks for being a true artist and bringing everything you have and leaving it all on the table.

[@andygillion]

Ah thanks so much, Simon! That means a lot!

[@TenaciousKevoMusic]

15:55 Omg I still remember this! "Need Water" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Inlay76667]

Sick! Did you double track your acoustic part? Thanks for letting us in mate, totally appreciate it!

[@andygillion]

Yeah it's double tracked left and right. Was really happy with the sound I got out of it in the end!

[@Inlay76667]

@@andygillion very lush 👌🏼

[@peltskin]

A legend doing his thing, I'm so stoked for this.

[@bloedehoel3365]

Already sounds like the album of the year for me, amazing work! I hope as many people as possible will listening it

[@andygillion]

Thanks so much! I hope so too 😊

[@anthibozoviti_]

[@andygillion]

Thank you Anthi! 🙏

[@huskestativ]

This sounds fuckin amazing! I don't want to devalue your previous projects, but personally I missed MPE-Andy a whole lot. So seeing and most of all hearing these snippets gets me hyped up for some gooood stuff to come! Keep it up, man, your shit is always top tier!

[@andygillion]

All good dude, I think a lot of people miss that sound so it has been nice to do this again. I had another one in me apparently.

[@THeGh0stM4N]

So hyped for the release ❤ greetings from germany

[@andygillion]

Danke!! 🙏

[@TenaciousKevoMusic]

12:20 Those veins show the grind you've been doing recently. Dedication! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@markmccarthy7633]

Cant go wrong with a doonah mate! 😂

[@sanfordlopez]

Man, that opening track might be the best thing I've ever heard. Amazing.

[@andygillion]

Thank you!! Can't wait for the album to drop

[@sjoblom104]

Absolute Legend. Thank you for being so genuine and authentically you, Andy.

[@andygillion]

Thanks dude!

[@brunomorin826]

This is the kind of music I am searching everywhere. I just can’t play it myself. Thx Andy for everything you create for us. I can’t wait to hear the full album. If you ever come in Montreal for a live show, I swear I’ll be there

[@andygillion]

Thanks so much, Bruno! Would love to play in Canada again!

[@justincataldocom]

Sounds amazing mate! And so glad you moved to Australia! Welcome! :)

[@Ethersis]

Hey dude, just listened to the new song and I can say that you´re learning extremely fast. Your growls are excellent!

[@andygillion]

Thank you! 🙏

[@joshuavereschagin]

Tighter than a duck's ass... Love it. Absolutely CAN NOT wait!

[@andygillion]

Cheers dude! 🤘

[@Oakenritual]

Sounds great, you and Mendel are my favorite guitarists in the metal scene.

[@MrFatbard]

THEO!!! :D always love these vids and nice on getting that scream right

[@andygillion]

Theo did a grand job at producing me there. The tiny shoe theory worked a charm!

[@kokkolintu3528]

@@andygillion It's funny how we human beings work! Just using our brain and imagination to think about some scenario, and suddenly our body finds the muscles and expressions to try to replicate that. 🤔🤔 (Probably some ancient monkey survival skill: being able to copy others)

[@siddhiupadhyaya6601]

YESSS!

[@ChewyTheEwoK]

10:02 I made the exact same face haha, really wonderful insight into your world dude!:D

[@TenaciousKevoMusic]

I didn't expect this to come out! But I'm glad it is! ❗️👀. I'm stoked for this.

[@andygillion]

Cheers Kevo! 😊

[@BEARDEDCLAMUSA]

Love this Studio Diary 1, The album sounds like it's going to be a killer Beast🤘 🔥 fan of your music all the way from DALLAS TEXAS Brother, keep Delivering!

[@andygillion]

Cheers Chad!

[@_DudeBroRah]

Stellar!!! Can't wait for the album! (pre-ordered). Your lead work is so melodic and catchy! The first single was phenomenal! Big ups on the vocals, too. Really impressive considering it fits the music / vibe in addition to never doing them before now. I really couldn't tell by listening to it. Cheers! 🔥🤘

[@andygillion]

Thanks so much for pre-ordering and the kind words!

[@martinarana9698]

cheers bro from argentina, i love u and i love mors principium

More excited for this album release, than I have ever been for any! The "Prophecy" video was killer, can't wait for the rest of this masterpiece to be unveiled!

[@andygillion]

Thanks Grayson!

[@graysonparks2775]

@@andygillion I just noticed this little detail @ 3:24. Where can I buy a Shadow Law physical album? I have a digital copy but I would love to own a real one, maybe pass around a few copies, after I financially recover from the Exilium release...

[@andygillion]

@graysonparks2775 Haha I've asked my buddy Cris who was the vocalist in case he has any left. They're extremely rare!​@@graysonparks2775
