"Hey everyone Imagika has worked on our last 3 CD's with Andy and his Sonictrain Studio to results we're always happy with. The studio is a nice relaxed comfortable place to work with multiple rooms along with a nice set-up for lodging etc. The studio also has a impressive list of gear that gets the job done from top to bottom. There's a reason why the band has traveled from California to Sweden work on these CD's, Mr. LaRocque is pure metal! Only thing that could make the place better would be an open bar and strippers on the pole! Hey Andy work on that!......please!"

"Sonictrainstudios is the link to a music pro career. There you learn the real meaning of great sound and cool vibe!"
JORDI SANDALINAS

" I had the pleasure to work with Andy LaRocque and his Sonic Train Studios several times, and each time the coopeartion went smooth, and at the highest possible level. Except being a great musician and great sound engineer , he is a friendly and down to earth kind of person, opened for new ideas and solutions, and what's the most iportant - he is still a fan of heavy music! So, if you are looking for a top quality, you just found it. I'm looking forward to work with Andy on some project in the future again!"
BART GABRIEL - HARD ROCKER MAGAZINE/ MANAGEMENT, POLAND

"The King of Asgard Album has a perfect sound. Or better the most suitable sound for that certain genre. This would not have been a fact without the engineering and co-producing of Andy La Rocque behind the console."
MANOLIS ALFIERIS, METAL-TEMPLE (ONLINE MAG)

"Sonic Train Studio is probably one of the best places you can do your hardrock/metal album. We in Wild*Side enjoy every minute of the time we spend in the studio, and Varberg is an relaxing place to be. Andy work on the highest level all of the time,even he is Swedish.. Hahaha and he have a great sense of humor and always good coffee and a little of Jack Daniels.... Wild*Side look forward to work a lot together with Andy in his Sonic Train Studio. Rock On!!"
