Check out this band I just recorded - Gone Postal

[Gelatin]

I'm in the process of recording & mixing a album for an Icelandic band called Gone Postal. Their material is really promising considering these guys are only 17-18 years old!

I allowed them to put one unmastered song on their myspace ("defiant creation"):

I recorded it using a Firestudio, mostly SM57's. All drums are replaced (feel free to bash me for that) using sneaps kick & snare and the chimaira tom samples.. Guitars are Peavey Triple X with Tubescreamer.

btw, I'm a total noob and this is my first ever recording for another band...

Who fucking cares about drum replacement when it sounds this good.

What cymbols did you record with? I'm really digging how they are dark but still upfront and not ear piercing.

Personally the only thing I would do is Eq some of the click out of the kick, it becomes too clicky during the blast beats.

thanks alot for the kind comments! I will certainly check out EQ-ing the kick some more .. also think that the snare sounds a bit artificial during the blastbeats so I might make the snare a tad lower on those parts.
