Sessions where held in Texas Indian Trails Studio with Engineer & Co-owner Alex Gerst. The studio was recommended to us by friend and mentor Shrapnel shred legend Derek Taylor http://www.milostudio.com.  It was a great experience with zero obstacles. Studio facility is great and Alex is a drummer himself so he really understands the approach that is involved in the Aghora stuff.  Matt is amazing! He is very smooth, yet razor accurate with a lot of balls!  It's good to have the metal muscle power, yet the fusion open air and breath of a Vinnie Colaiuta, Jack DeJohnette & Billy Cobham.   Matt has 100% free control and is laying it down solid!  He flows very smoothly with a lot of power and balls.  The album has 10 songs total of full on serious intensity. Metal and prog fans will be delighted.  The line up is Alan Goldstein, Diana Serra, Matt Thompson & Santiago Dobles.  We will most likely be mixing in August.  

Currently Santiago is tracking all Guitars in his home studio.  Diana will be tracking soon as well.  Alan is half way done. 

"After having had the good fortune to be present during some of the Aghora 3 sessions, i felt as if a star destroyer had warped out of hyperspace about 4 centimeters into my left eye socket. this stuff will blow your mind... this record may require direct transmission from the master, as damage suffered by the uninitiated may be permanent."
