Recording Difficulty

Kisschasy had some difficulty in recording "Hymns for the Nonbeliever", the drums were delivered 2 days late, without the whole assembly. Forcing the band into "just finding things from around the studio like little poles and sandbags just to hold up the drums and we recorded the drums that way for the whole album!" after wasting "two days just waiting for the stuff to come in."
