Walking Corpse Syndrome is heading to Spokane's Amplified Wax Studios in November to record, mix, and master our third album, “Alive in Desolation.” We're excited about this opportunity since it represents a dramatic step up in production quality, thus giving the Corpse the edge needed to infect the world.
If you have watched any of our webisodes, you will have seen us digging through garbage to recycle cans, bumming our old CDs on the street, hawking our shirts at vendor markets, selling our plasma, playing shows, and running a custom merch campaign. We're happy to announce that our efforts have covered the costs of pre-production, and we are now ready to record. So we come to you, broke and begging.
Where Does Your Money Go? Recording, mixing, editing, mastering, artwork, CDs, rewards (and postage), promotion, and some Kickstarter fees. Anything we get above and beyond our goal goes toward caviar and Angora V-Neck Sweaters. JK! LOL! No, Anything above and beyond will either go towards getting a working touring van or promotion.
WCS loves promotion, but hates begging for money, so Kickstarter is perfect for us. We figure it's like a huge pre-sale with some crazy rewards for the big spenders.
First off, we're giving away digital downloads. For FREE. To EVERYBODY. That's why you won't see anything about digital downloads in the rewards. Because everybody's getting them. Everybody.
- $1 - The Corpse Walker sticker (4.25" x 5.5"). Every higher reward includes this sticker.

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Walking Corpse Syndrome has overcome potential hurdles by completing extensive pre-production work. Simply speaking, we have already recorded the album, so studio time will be maximized in bringing it all together to create our newest release. We chose Amplified Wax Studios in Spokane because of the excellent sound quality and production capabilities. As one of the rising stars on the national recording scene, Amplified Wax has worked with a variety of genres - from Death Core to Indie Rock - so we're confident that we'll get a great sound for unique set up.
Having put out two albums already, our artwork is all ready to go, another mighty hurdle already conquered.
As anyone who's ordered from us online knows, we have an awesome reputation with getting stuff out the door. Plus you know that we loooove giving you extra goodies.
All apparel graphics are made by silk screens, with the exception of the numbers. Silk screening individual numbers would be cost prohibitive. Instead, we will be using an alternate method to make the numbers.
