We released Decision Process 10 years ago today. About half the songs came from demos, and the other half were written together as a band. Many singers tried out initially, but it was hard to make the arrangements sound better with vocals than they already were. The name Mothra was written on the fridge of Hugh’s flat at the time, taken from the Godflesh song, and agreed upon quickly at the first rehearsal at Reuben’s industrial work space. We pressed the album on double gatefold vinyl, CD, and released a 7″ for Splinters. Some obvious influences, and hopefully some of our own identity as well. A release show was played at the Kings Arms in Auckland opening for High on Fire, Wellington at Valhalla. and Totara St in Mt Maunganui.
Recorded at various locations.
Mixed by Hugh Allan.
Mastered by Chris Chetland.
Cover art by Emma Thomson.
Bonus fact, Aaron Turner’s Mesa Amp was used on the album.
