The albums are here
Last night we received the batch of Battle for the Sky albums.
We literally pulled everything out the bag getting them from JHB to Cape Town and wow, the second we opened the boxes everything was worth it.
The printing came out super quality.. thick, heavy cardboard.. crisp, clear printing with an awesome emboss on the cover all vacuum packed in tight plastic.
Major news and updates are coming very soon. Hang tight..
Battle for the Scars
Poor Scotty, his hernia op seems to have taken a toll none could have foreseen.
Each scar he received has seemingly stolen a piece of his soul, and it seems as though his absence from the throne will be longer that anticipated.
In truth, the doc prescribed a longer rest to let the scars heal perfectly. But the EP is still on the way. Idle legs do not make for idle mouths.
Heal soon Scott!!
Merry New Years!
With everything finished and done and only the final product to wait for, MIS is taking a break from planning, launching and everything to do with the colossus that was Battle for the Sky. Thankfully the break coincides with the wildest part of the year! The festive season and New Years!
Rob is off to Mozambique to catch some good waves, drink some tasty foreign beer and succumb to malaria. Brent, niC and Swanny are off up the east coast to Stilbaai.
(Pictured below is Brent on our recent tour to Pretoria who found some east coast buddies)
Scott is MIA. Although rumour has it he’ll be heading to Cape to Cuba (huh?). Kamil and Bryan Anthony will hopefully hit up Vortex.
Merry New Years to you all!! Have a great one!

Mixing is Muxed and the Master Mustered
Mixing is Muxed and the Master Mustered
After about 5 months of mixing back and forth between Cape Town and Joburg we are damn happy to say it’s over! The final mix is great, every sound we’ve got out of the instruments is exactly what we where aiming for way back when.
It’s so great to listen to the EP as a whole and be able to fully realise thoughts that have been bugging all since ‘Battle for the Sky’ was conceived.
How will it flow? Will this chorus play right after that part?? Does it knock your head against a fucking wall??? One thing MIS excels at is debating!
Couple of things that helped prolong the mixing process were things like doubling choruses, cutting out unnecessary parts (a certain porn-sounding intro comes to mind) and making sure the post-prod Kamil-ness was blending properly with the tracks and were the best we could do with each part.
Chris over the 2 weeks following the final mix got going on the Master, sending stuff down to check levels and flow. When we all agreed on the finished product and held the Master in our hands it was a relieving experience. The record sounds bloody massive, cheers Chris and Mike!
