Recording vocals for "The Thespian" (Rock And Roll Sons) at Decibel studio in Slovakia was a great experience with Dombovari Balazs.
Though, the studio is not yet finished being bulid. We managed to record some great takes.
The studio is situated in Patince on the north bank of the Danube river about 13 Km east of Komarno along the boarder with Hungary.
Lets not forget the Patince SPA that provides great accommudation about half a km away.
If anyone is ever around that part of the world and wants to do some recording that will be the place to do it.
Thank you, Balazs.
