Strapping Young Lad recording update

Strapping Young Lad posted the following official word on the recording process:

"A quick writing update for our freaks out there!!
It's going great, got too many song ideas, haha! About 6 are complete, and the rest are very close...
Most of you probably know that Dev and his merry men are going on tour for a couple weeks with some very fine Swedish friends of ours, Opeth.
So, during that time, the rest of us are going to be perfecting our song parts, 'tweaking' the little stuff, and writing a few more...this is when the barn doors get blown off!
Dev has also got a couple ideas he's going to work on while he's out on tour, so when he gets back, we'll show him ours and vice-versa, and then we'll have WAY too many songs!!! Which is a good thing, if it turns out that one song isn't 'feeling' right in the studio, there are more to choose from...or we can 'chop and blend' a part in or out if a song just needs 'a little something'.
The sun is out in Vancouver...finally...it's been like 2 months of solid rain...depreessing as hell man. I'll take the snow and deepfreeze at home in Philly over that...even though it's been really mild there...no deep freeze yet...crazy weather man, makes me wonder, ya know?
Alright, I digress, SYL is rockin, on your door we'll be knockin...this summer.
I need more coffee.
Cheers eh?"
