Henry Bloom was completely trapped in the softness of the backrest of the sofa. The messy clothes and blankets around him were completely submerged like a bunker made of garbage. However, he looked at the TV screen with his eyes half closed, and his lazy and casual appearance seemed to be asleep. But if he looked carefully, he could find that his eyes were not on the TV at all, but was completely immersed in his thoughts.

Gently rubbed his temples, the rough fingertips stimulated the acupoints, keeping him awake, but after thinking about it, he still picked up the phone in his hand, dialed the number, and put it in his ears. After only a while, the phone was connected, and Henry said in a deep voice, "It's me, Henry."

"Henry, why did you think about it quickly?" Neil's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"No, I haven't thought about it, but I think I still need to communicate with you." Henry was still stuck in the sofa bunker, half-closed his eyes, and his voice was too lazy, but he could feel his attention, "Where are you now? Why are there strange sounds next to him?"

"We were on Route 50 and wanted to find a suitable place to record. Alfonso and Pedro were asking a group of Mexicans in Spanish, including two Indians, who were learning how to greet them." Neil said with a smile, and his whole body seemed relaxed, "So, what do you want to communicate with us? We have told you about the whole situation."

"Neil, I think I need to talk to Hugo." Although Henry was so lazy, he felt quite cold and ruthless when doing things.

Neil didn't mind, and said directly, "Wait." Then he took his cell phone and shouted at Hugo who was trying to figure it out, "Hugo, Henry's phone."

Hugo didn't know what he was learning, but after a series of strange actions, the group of people burst into laughter. Neil walked over and handed the phone to Hugo, then "excluded" Hugo and asked him to answer the phone aside. He joined everyone's conversation.

Hugo looked at Neil, who occupied his position, and shouted a strange word, which caused the two Indians to respond loudly. Then Hugo walked aside with a smile, "Henry, this is Hugo."

You can feel the joy on the other end through your phone microphone, but Henry was not a curious personality, so he didn't ask too much and said, "So, tell me again, are you planning to record a studio album or a live album?"

Hugo just called Henry and explained the current huge plan of Honor to Death. As the agent of Honor to Death, Henry shoulders the heavy responsibility of dealing with Eidai Records. If Honor to Death wants to release a new album in this way, Eidai Records will inevitably nod, so Henry is the key figure.

However, it is obvious that Henry did not fully understand the intention of glory to death.

Hugo was not surprised, after all, this idea was too shocking. Even Fu Jin and the others did not fully understand Hugo's intention at the beginning, "Studio Album."

"Then I don't understand why you recorded outdoors. This will only reduce the sound quality of the album to a bad level, not even comparable to the live album." Henry frowned slightly. It will take three years to work with Honor until his death. This is the first time Henry has not been able to understand Hugo's idea. This can definitely be said to be an idea that transcends the times.

Hugo was not angry, but instead chuckled, "Henry, you should know that the recording studio can guarantee sound quality, but it cannot give the music real vitality. The vitality from the neighborhood, nature, life, and performance will make the music liven up."

"I know." Henry was so anxious that he was still lazy. Although he spoke, his speech was a little faster, revealing his confusion at this moment.

For music, some people simply like music. Professional recording studios can ensure the perfect sound quality and present the most beautiful side of music in its original flavor; but more people like live performances because performances can give the soul of music and build a bridge between performers and audiences. It may not be perfect to truly present the most essential side of music, but it can most touch the heart.

Of course Henry knew such a simple truth, but he still couldn't understand Hugo. "Of course I know, but since you want this effect, you should record a live album, right?"

"Henry, listen to me..." Hugo scratched his head and laughed. Hugo knew that it was very important to let Henry understand their intentions, because Henry was the one who had the ability to make Eidien Records understand Glory to death. Before that, communication between Glory and Henry was always smooth, but this time he encountered a difficult problem.

"We are not going to record a live album. The live album shows the essence and atmosphere of the band's live performance, but we are really recording a regular album, just simply moving the recording studio outdoors." Hugo patiently explained, "The professional recording studio is a completely quiet environment, but the outdoor recording studio has an unreplicable uniqueness. Even at the same place, different time periods of the same day will present different background sounds, the sense of liveness that every minute and every second passes, the unreplicable atmosphere of life, the bumpy feeling of running around the road at all times makes every 'outdoor recording studio' unique, and this specialness is precisely the mark of glory to death. We hope to leave this mark in this album."

Hugo's words calmed down Henry, but this time, he adjusted his sitting position. Although he was still leaning on the sofa, he sat upright. He vaguely understood what Hugo said, but it was too abstract and it was difficult for him to clearly describe it in his mind, which made it very difficult to understand. This is normal, because not everyone can create music, not everyone can lead the rise of new metal rock, and not everyone is Hugo Lancaster.

Hugo also seemed to know that Henry was difficult to understand directly, and it was never an easy thing to make abstractions concrete. "Henry, do you still remember our first encounter? Why did you choose our band, not any other band? Or, we are not Mariah Carey, nor can we be Mariah Carey."

Although Glory to Death is now at its peak and has repeatedly gained the upper hand in the confrontation with Maria, objectively speaking, Maria's performance is popular and the market acceptance is far higher than that of rock. In terms of mass base, it is almost impossible for Glory to defeat Maria until death. Even if Glory sells more albums, she is still at a disadvantage in terms of singing rate, listening rate, communication rate, etc. This is a fact.

Hugo unexpectedly mentioned Maria, which caught Henry off guard. Henry thought he no longer cared, but deep down, perhaps the wound of betrayal still could not recover as before. However, Henry knew that Hugo had no malice, so he took a deep breath and let his thoughts come back, "Because I saw that kind of persistence in you, just like your names."

Although Henry's answer is simple, it contains too much. It is also the reason why Henry and Glory have been working happily until death during this period. Because Henry and Glory pursue the same thing.

"But, have you seen the kind of persistence you had in the past year?" Hugo's retort was very simple. In fact, Henry, as a bystander, saw more clearly than the person involved, Glory to the Death.

However, as an agent, the difference between Henry and Honor to Death is that Honor to Death must make a breakthrough, otherwise they will gradually die; Henry clearly knows that even if the quality of the third album of Honor to Death declines, as long as it is well promoted, relying on Hugo's strong appeal and the reputation of the first two albums, the third album will still be successful, so he is not in a hurry, not to mention that even if Henry wants to help, he can't do anything.

So, Henry has always been relatively calm.

Hugo's rhetoric made Henry think and vaguely understand. Then Henry listened to Hugo and continued, "You should know the importance of this road trip to our band. Similarly, you should understand the importance of this outdoor recording to the band."

"Of course, I won't deny that it's very likely that the result will be very bad. The recorded master tape is completely messy and cannot be released at all." Hugo continued, and he was always worried about this possibility. After all, it was 1996. It was unimaginable that he wanted to ensure the sound quality after leaving the studio environment. "But I believe that if you persist in this journey, you will find our sharpness again until you die. So, what if you fail?"

Henry held his chin and remained silent. He was digesting this huge amount of information bit by bit. "However, the reason I insisted that this is a studio album is because I hope to be able to record it successfully and truly show the spirit of glory to death. Once it succeeds, it will be a big breakthrough for the band and it is very likely to become one of our band's best albums, an album that cannot be copied."

Hugo's words made Henry's mouth uncontrollably outline a smile. It has to be admitted that Henry did feel the spirit and temperament that made him excited in Hugo's voice again. This may be a good thing. "But Henry, if you want, I sincerely invite you to come and meet us. When you hear the master tape we have completed the recording, you will understand everything. I hope you can help us convince EDA Records together."
