TRAILIGHT - New Album Slated For Summmer Release; THE ASTRAL LIGHT Drummer STEVEN PARENT Confirmed For Recording Sessions
Trailight mastermind Omer Cordell has checked in with the following update:
"Writing for the new album, Chasing Daylight, continues and things are shaping up nicely for a summer release. I will be announcing a few guest musicians as things progress further but for now, I would like to introduce the man who will take the reins on the drum kit.
Ladies and gents, I bring you Steven Parent, drummer for The Astral Light and Cordelia. Steven is a student of Ryan Van Poederooyen (who played on The Primitive Mountain) and Gil Sharone. I exchanged a few text messages with Ryan who made it clear that Steven has his chops in order and so, I am thrilled to have him on board for this project."

Cordell released a new Trailight album, Sophia, in late 2020. It was mixed by former Annihilator frontman Dave Padden. He spoke with BraveWords scribe Carl Begai about working with Padden in the studio.
Cordell: "I've been working with Dave since The Primitive Mountain (released in 2015). He knows what I want and what I like. Dave is a phenomenally talented musician beyond the scope of a lot of people's understanding. People don't know how talented Dave is and that's a shame. The other thing about him is that his standards are remarkably high. Me being an absolute hack compared to Dave, having him mix the album was a treat. To make a long story short, he polished the proverbial turd. He really pushed me when I was doing vocals, asking me to sing parts over and teling me I could deliver the lines better. He gave me some pointers as to what I could do to make the vocals a lot better."
"And he's an incredible singer. He could front any band in the world, from a bluegrass band to the most brutal metal band. When I recorded The Primitive Mountain, I had no idea who was going to sing on it. If I had done it, it would have been nothing short of catastrophic. A mutual friend suggested I get Dave to sing on that record and he agreed to it, and I met him on the day we were going to record vocals. He nailed the entire vocal array for The Primitive Mountain in two days. I was recording him thinking 'Who the fuck ARE you and what planet did you come from?' (laughs). So on the record new record, it was his standards couple with his experience that were so important to me. He pushed the album sonically to a level that I did not expect it to go."
