Bullet for my Valentine...

[Ola Englund]

I would never imagine that I would EVER create a thread with Bullet for my Valentine. I have no interests in these kinds of bands BUT I heard they're "Your Betrayal" on radio and was pretty impressed with the production.

Anyone here know who produced/engineered this? The guitars are really juicy.

Looks like Don Gilmore produced and CLA mixed - explains the kick and snare, at least!

well there you go... Also checking the video again, wasn't these guys emos? Or am I thinking of some other crappy band?

 

[JeffTD]

They we're always decently heavy - are you thinking of Trivium? I'm not sure they count as emo, either, but I can see why you'd get the bands mixed up.

 

[Ola Englund]

No hahaha I was thinking Bullet for my Valentine was My Chemical Romance. I had to google Emo bands just to come up with their name. Damn I'm so NOT in the game.

 

[Ola Englund]

Listened to some old Bulelt for my valentine. All their records sound really good. I remember the Suffocation under words of sorrow single. Damn that song was beaten to death on radio in sweden. Still no fan of the music.

Bfmv changed their appearance (and sound, esp. vocals) with "Scream, Aim, Fire" from Emocore/Metalcore to "true Metal", which I find ridiculous..
(similar to Trivium aka "we don't do uncool metalcore shouts now, we just try to sound like hetfield" *troll-face* )

But to be honest, I really liked their older stuff (bmfv) it's better than a lot of generic metalcore imho.

If you compare the newest cd with either posion or the one that came afterwards (which??) i think the new one don't sound near as good. CLA mixes fits awesome on rock etc but on a little bit heavier stuffm, i think not.

Yeah I remember a while back I heard some of their music from a friend and I was really impressed with the guitar sound, not so much with the music and the vocals. This song you posted wasn't bad though.

Their Poison album sounds fantastic. Courtesy of Mr Colin Richardson.

The music bores me to tears but I dig this type of bass sound.
It makes everything fatter without overpowering the the low end. Let's discuss it. Sounds like a bridge pickup of some sort to me.
I think Colin Richardson's mixes sound clearer but thin and a bit clinical in comparison which can be cool too but not in that case imvho.

 

[Harry Hughes]

It sounds good, but honestly it's not exactly super awesome metal production reference worthy either.
May as well just listen to The Way of All Flesh. The music is actually good and creative, and the production just slays this.

Trying really hard to find a high quality version of this to listen properly.

Not a fan of the band, and the clean vocals give me the same kind of creeps I get when a homeless guy is staring at me with a bottle of liquor in one hand and his dick in the other, but in a negative way. The mix sounds really good, though. I love fat and thick mixes. Even if they sound a little muddy at times, I still usually really dig them over the usual crispy, kinda thin metal mixes.

So the creeps you get when a homeless guy is staring at you with a bottle of liquor in one hand and his dick in the other are generally positive creeps? XD

I agree with others.. it's a decent mix but nothing to write home about. The Poison is a pretty incredible mix, it's the perfect version of the stereotypical metal mix. It's not particularly unique but I love every tone on there, everything fits perfectly.

Pretty sure TWoAF is the apex of the archetypal metal mix.

@Ola: Anything short of FLAC ain't good enough for deez ears babeh. (naw really, 320kbps would do, but YT traffics in mobile phone quality)

I wouldn't expect less from you, being in the cream of the crop part of this forum!
