Bands like BMTH and Issues are the future. "NWOAHM" had its hold from like 2003 to 13 but people like LoG, Bullet, Trivium Machine Head are only going down hill from here.

The bell accent sound in the SDX exmaple (1.14 in the video) is the exact same ride cymbal as Metalfoundry, Metal! and Metalheads. Its cool there's a lot of new snare's and kicks but c'mon this reusing of decade old cymbal sounds is starting to become a theme. I wonder if it even has the 19"...

I think my least favourite tones are at extreme ends of a spectrum and showcase why going to far of one flavour is bad. 1. Justice for All to me represents the gone too scoop side of tube mid range. Really hollow. 2. Pantera's first 3 albums. Again, another gone too scoop style, but with...

They've done the same thing 3 times now. Mechanize, Industrialist, Genexus. Its been a the same pattern since 2010, release lower tuned Demanufacture-Obsolete style music and a bunch of people will comment on how "they're back", I'm failing to see how they are "just now" going back to their...

Mix is awesome, guitars are fairly scooped but a 'good' scooped as opposed to 90s scoop haha, which is a nice change from the wave of overdialed mid focused tones of late. Don't hear the huge low end people are talking about, sounds fairly average for a metalcore band, just that the top end is...

If this was a local band writing this it wouldn't be half way good enough for commercial release. Should stick to what they do best and keep on with their signature bland as cardboard early 00s American Heavy Metal cos this stuff is really bad writing and they sound lost.

Not digging it. Wrong mix style for the songs, which are fairly slow and chugy/groovy with big open chords. The kick and snare are same supposed "D4" he always uses which in this setting sound extremely thin and wimpy, would have been fine if this was 2004 200bpm metalcore or 90s death metal but...

All round probably Erra Augment in terms of absolute perfection in balance and tone, favorite guitar (rhythm) and bass sound, perfect kick, snare, sonically beautiful cleans, powerful screams, perfectly EQ'd, perfect mix balance to my ears. Honorable mentions are The Black Album cos its the...

Do you guys find it more effective to have less mids on the amp or to eq it out in mixing? I tend to overcompensate with mids (about 7 - 7.5 on 5150) and then take a good deal of 500-800 out with a super wide Q, then a gentle boost around 1.2khz ish to compensate for some of the "power" lost. I...

Try ultex picks (much more of a clicking sound on the front end of the note rather than scratchy tortex, or smooth nylon) + pick closer to the bridge.

In what way is the kick too loud? Because it actually has some low end and meat to it unlike 90% of generic metal kicks which sound like someone's teeth chattering? If anything the attack of the kick is also a bit buried by guitars, compare it to other djent or next to Sturgis-core type bands...

I paused new Periphery before this and a great deal of low end went away and in place a fuck ton more crunchy mids, which is saying something when a deathcore band has more mids in the production than Periphery lol. I get that its a hallmark of Putney/Machine productions so have a aggression...

Everything demoed sounds terrible in these videos, just a case of poor finger tone, clumsy picking hand and dialing the same set of unpleasant frequencies (that may sound good in that particular room) ... The only people I've heard do great demos are Ola and actual engineers on this & that...

Sounds really small compared to iowa. Aside from the obvious lack of low end and insanely ticky drums the guitars are criminally undergained & thin, they sound like a single coil fender through a through a fucking plexi, which would be great if their music was all mid gain shred-fusion ahaha
