![]() The covers were personal favorites that we'd been inspired by. The cover turned out excellent and the gasmasks became a gimmick for Nasum.Īgain I don't remember all the details but I guess we decided to have a bonus 7" with only covers coming with the LP before we started recording the album. The "Venice picture" Relapse found in a book. ![]() So I sent him the picture and another small picture that ended up on the CD print. I told him about our cold feet and he said that they would take the risk. I then got a call from Matt Jacobsen asking me: "Where are all the gasmasks?". So we did another cover and sent it to Relapse. But when we did the cover with our friend Robert Ahlborg we got cold feet because we figured that it was a famous photo by some hot shot and we didn't wanna get in trouble. When we started talking to Relapse I told them that we had a good cover and I made a quick montage in Photoshop adding the logo and our then suggested title "Hear the screams from the dying race", and sent it to them.

I actually don't remember much of the recording other than I once sang until I spat blood. It always smelled of old food and garbage and the corridors to the studio really felt like a level of "Doom" or "Quake". Soundlab Studios was then located in a small basement next door to a Chinese restaurant's kitchen. "Inhale/Exhale" was recorded on Unisound's old 16 track tape recorder.
