Anyone into his productions?
seems like he's not getting mentioned a whole lot (almost never actually lol) over here, i wonder why that is? after all he's done quite a lot of stuff, with dew scented, belphegor, krisiun, and legion of the damned being the best known out of the bunch i'd assume.

FWIW, i really enjoy most of his stuff. sure, he's notoriously over-mastering things a.k.a. smashing the FUCK out of his mixes, but the mixes themselves sound pretty rad to me.
sure, he's not the kinda guy that would fit a opeth/katatonia or whatever album, so anyone looking for subtleties and textures better look elsewhere. what i like about his stuff is that it's just so friggin BRUTAL....immense impact, really. zero dynamics, hits you right in the chest all the time...which is a great thing for some styles of music as far as i am concerned. really punchy drums, and very guitar centered mixes.
from what i've heared so far he's a big fan of the sansamp psa-1....a couple of years back he usually went for 2 tracks sansamp, and 2 tracks of whatever amp the band would bring in. don't know what he's doing now though.
i'm willing to bet that he's also using the psa a great deal for bass guitar.
as far as mastering goes i think he's using the finalizer a lot, but then again, the only thing that's well known about his mastering is that he's completely nuts as far as loudness is concerned lol.
so, anyone into it?
