2008 - Thee Orakle start to create all songs to complete the debut album and at the same time, convert the rehearsal room into a pre-production home studio where all things where about to be study 'till detail. During this creation phase the band was retired from the stages and other promotional acts for about four months. At January the place for the final recordings was announced, UltraSoundStudios (Braga-PT) with Daniel Cardoso (Head Control System) as Producer. On April we began the Pre-production at our home studio and the final recordings were scheduled for August and September! Another important step was the announce, as special guest on a friendly collaboration, of Yossi Sassi Sa'Aron from the Israelites Orphaned Land playing the Bouzouki a traditional Greek guitar!

Finally the recordings began, as previously programmed, starting with the Rhythm Secction (drums and bass), then the Guitars (rhythms and solos) with a surprise participation of Pedro Mendes at a guitar solo and two new collaborations with transverse flute and violin ended the second recording week. Keyboards, samples and vocals were registered next, with the special and not studied participation of Daniel Cardoso on the vocals. And then a few weeks were necessary to mix and produce the new work!

At the end of October, Metaphortime was finished... the concept of the album was revealed and resumed the story that all music tell like chapters of a book...and Alchemy based story with true research and true history facts involved!
