...And im also trying to figure out what overdubs kreator usually has besides melodies, solos and vocals? Hahaha.

what's wrong with a live vibe? I think it's cool. Jeezus how awful would it sound if my band did it this way lol.

I think he means overdubs are as "bad" as transistor amps vs. tubes, active pu's vs. passives, analoge vs. digital ....
Imho i don't care if there are a ton of overdubs or none as long as the songs are good. If the song needs overdubs, go for it. If the band want's to play all live, go for it if they want to do it step by step go for it....
The final product is what counts...
that's at least what i think.

I like that more bands are rediscovering this way to record the rhythm section (The Haunted too, among others) because IMO it definitely adds a recognizable "live feel" too the music (imperfections that actually improve the record).
But you'll need very tight musicians or this approach could easily backfire... that being said, I like Kreator a lot but Mille is everything else than a tight player.

I actually just tracked my own band this way. Even though it wasn't set out for a pro recording, just something to get some song demos on tape. Drums all mic'ed, guitars and bass into DIs, then into pedals fed to a mixer. Ran a click track from the DAW and just tracked it all live. Using the DIs - I reamped after the rest of the band went home. Actually turned out a lot better than some sessions that I track part by part.

That's very cool. Then, the recording turns into a "capturing the event" vibe, rather than a "painstakingly creating a behemoth" vibe, as month long recording sessions tend to be.
Boris records all their albums in 1 or 2 days. All live. All to tape. And they're amazing.

not a thing! it'll be interesting to see if it adds a more live feel or looseness to the album's vibe.
They're conspiring with Pro Tools and triggers to make everyone sound like Paul Bostaph.

You know, with reamping and triggers being used more and more, I wonder why more bands don't track live. There is something about a band that is super tight together - versus albums that are quantized, beat detected etc to death and sound more like a machine. Even more sad when said bands can't pull off that tightness live.

Ugghh, I just heard them for the first time today, actually, hanging out with a friend of mine, and while I agree with your first three statements, my impressions earlier cause me to grossly disagree with your last. They sounded like "stoner punk," NOT a good combo in my book, and hardly a good example of how this style of recording could work for a metal album.

Maybe not a modern sounding metal album, but more like in the style of old Black Sabbath. Which is very much metal.

I got into Boris when I heard the CD they did with Sunn O))). It was really cool to hear something that wasn't super polished. Thanks to them, got familiar with bands like Merzbow and Sunn O))). I actually just saw them live here in SLC, they were excellent - although they were extremely loud haha.

That boris/sunn0))) is pretty amazing, isn't it? It's really one of the heaviest albums I've ever heard, and with no lap tops (NLT)!
