Ryan Van Poederooyen has posted an update on his official web site. The Devin Townsend Band drummer has set the studio dates for recording his drum tracks for the still-yet-to-be-named solo/side project he am doing. Ryan Van Poederooyen will be entering the Armoury Studios on August 20th/22nd to do his drumtracks.\"There will also be one cover song recorded and nine other originals that I have written, which will have other special guests like Gustaf Hielm (ex-Meshuggah), Byron Stroud (Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory), Christofer Malmström (Darkane, Non-Human Level) among others. Jeremy Glen (ex-God Awakens Petrified) is still on board to do all the vocals which he will be writing. I am not a singer so I have left all the writing for melodies to Jeremy, who is an amazing songwriter in his own right. We both are writing the lyrics for the album, which is working out really well. The vibe of the album is pretty damn heavy with some screaming catchy vocals.\"
Van Poederooyen has recorded more than half the album in pre-production form and is producing \"the hell out of it\". The drummer will be producing the whole record as well. He is also recording video footage of this project from start to finish, as they go along.
In related news: Ryan Van Poederooyen will be recording a couple songs as session drummer for engineer Ken Burke (Barenaked Ladies, Sarah Mclaughlin, Moist). He has a punk project and decided to get Ryan to guest on a couple of his songs. Comments Van poederooyen:
\"I will be going in on Tuesday, June 27th at the Pacific Audio Visual Studios here in Vancouver to record these songs with him. When the songs are completely done and recorded, I will try and sneak some RVP punk-style drumming on an MP3 for you all.\"
