Exilium - Studio Diary (Part 4)

[@joshuawerner3074]

We get platinum for the next Andy Gillion album!!! 💿

[@drabbster]

That one line "as the man I left behind" really does benefit extremely from that clean vocal

[@MrKSGrundy]

You're a real gem, Andy. Congratulations on the album! 🤘🇨🇦🤘

[@andygillion]

Cheers!

[@drabbster]

The man single handedly saves oldschool melodeath

[@andygillion]

Thanks so much! And I really believe everyone can do this and release albums - I think it just depends how hard you want to go with it and how much time you want to invest. But it's totally achievable so best of luck with your musical endeavours!

[@kokkolintu3528]

Love the "McDonalds line" of packing orders, very organized! You and your gf are clearly perfectionists and I like to see how you guys always find a solution to problems. 😄 And congratulations on your own personal screaming room in the new house! (For some reason it reminds me of the Harry Potter closet under the stairs 😅😅)

[@andygillion]

Haha cheers, yeah it can be a little cramped and dark in there but perfect for letting out my demons!

[@lukevontajikistan3929]

18:29 is the sweetest smile. You made it my man- again! Having finally have had the chance to watch the Studio Diary, I am now directly switching to ordering Pizza. Made me hungry...

[@andygillion]

Haha thanks Luke!

[@StayMetal18]

The amount of work and creativity it takes to write and record those amazing songs...! Well done

[@andygillion]

Thank you!

[@briankadlecik3691]

From following you for years now I have heard you talk about how difficult it is to do all the things that you do but I thank you for all the dedication and hard work to provide us with such killer fuckin music. Keep it coming and continued success. As always, I look forward to what comes next

[@andygillion]

Thank you Brian!

[@burnbacktime]

My vinyl just showed up today! It sounds phenomenal! Glad it made it to Maine unscathed.

[@andygillion]

Glad it's finally with you dude! Cheers!

[@danielheptig2593]

Thanks for sharing your creativity! Musically and BTS

[@andygillion]

My pleasure dude!

[@kevrosas1]

Mate I can’t believe the music you’re making. I remember your Sonic pt2 video and am so blown away by the pure professional and most importantly great written tracks. Your style is so up my street I haven’t been this impressed since I discovered the Caladan Brood album 10 years ago. UK!!! Legend mate.

[@andygillion]

Haha thanks so much dude!

[@Allhopeforhumanity]

The album is amazing, and these studio diaries have been the perfect icing on the cake!

[@andygillion]

Thanks for watching!

[@TenaciousKevoMusic]

Happy 17k on KZbin!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@andygillion]

I noticed that yesterday! Very grateful!

[@LucifersBeard332]

When I first heard you sing 'As the man I left behind!' in the song, I quite literally shouted 'Fucking go on Andy!!' in my car in traffic. The delivery alongside the music was fucking perfection. You can feel the passion for the music through those vocals, so good.

[@andygillion]

I'm so glad that comes across. I wish I was in the car with you for that one haha, cheers!

[@monkeyman1688]

I am one of the recipient's of Graysons vinyls that he ordered! Great album wasn't expecting it at all. I've been rocking it since he gave it to me Friday after work!

[@graysonparks2775]

It was awesome to come in today and you had "Neverafter" playing! Glad you ventured beyond the album itself and understand why I like his music so much.

[@andygillion]

What Grayson has done, buying in bulk just to give the album out to his colleagues and friends is the most metal thing I've ever heard. It melts my heart! Cheers dude!

[@8curious]

boy oh boy, here it is!!!

[@justincataldocom]

Amazing Album! Great stuff Andy!

[@andygillion]

Thanks Justin!

[@TenaciousKevoMusic]

6:33 the Be-EeE gets to me hahahahahah 😂

[@andygillion]

I should have left it on the record hahaha - or maybe a remix?

[@TenaciousKevoMusic]

@@andygillion That'd be funny AF for a remix!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrFatbard]

yea man congrats on the release it was a pretty badass album :D

[@andygillion]

Cheers! 🤘

[@adamscott5307]

GET IN ANDY!! Another album done and dusted. Best be saving me one of those vinyls for when I put my order in, see if I can match my Arcade Metal Number heheh. I've listened to the album once while I was delirious on a 14 hour flight home from Japan so it didn't really go in. BUT I did have a few "qworh" moments. I'll put an order in as soon as I can mate. Congratulations, now you can start planning the "Exiled to the North" tour and play live in YORKSHIRE!!

[@andygillion]

Man "Exiled to the North" has such a good ring to it!!

[@bobonaut]

Thank you Andy for all the hard work and an amazing album. ...thankfully i watched this video, the customs fees email went straight into the junk folder... *sigh* anyhow, will be seeing the package any day soon

[@andygillion]

The customs thing is such a ball ache, I wish there was a way around it but I really appreciate you supporting the project and hope it arrives safely with you soon!

[@thewavehimself7672]

Beee-hiiiveee!

[@anthibozoviti_]

I laughed so hard with your footprints on the wall 😂

[@andygillion]

It took some cleaning to get that off!

[@alocerius]

Received the vinyl and shirt a few hours ago! Loved the pizza box haha Super pumped to have received it in the nick of time for my month-long trip to Japan so I can rep the album! 🤘 Thanks for the vlogs Andy, much love from Canada.

[@andygillion]

Ah that's awesome to hear! Have a great trip to Japan!

[@CinderBlockCuisine]

Lol, I might have underestimated how good the record could be... This is on an entirely next level compared to Arcade metal, seriously. Really hope you aren't yet finished with the symphonic prog/melodeath style, because they way you do it is very unique, and it's why Exilium is fucking killer.

[@andygillion]

Thanks! I think there's more where that came from

[@Dub2k4]

Now, the big question is, what’s with the trampoline in the kitchen? 😂 in a bedroom, i could imagine something, but the kitchen…🤔

[@andygillion]

It's where I put on Van Halen's "Jump" and leap around after consuming a full meal. It really helps settle the stomach!

[@Dub2k4]

😂

[@Dub2k4]

Now, the big question is, what’s with the trampoline in the kitchen? 😂 in a bedroom, in could I gaine something, but the kitchen…🤔

Я просто обожал Mors Principium Est, теперь я знаю из за кого)

[@drabbster]

I hope you sent a CD to Ville with a little note in the vein of "thanks for the material for all these awesome lyrics, dickhead!" :D
