Deathcode Society - "Pandaemonium 1.1"

[ArnaudM]

Hi everybody,
We were quite silent these last months, but I assure you we've been almost eaten up by this kind of monster album we've been trying to complete...

But there are good news.

First of all, we have had the chance and the honor to work with a incredibly talented sneapster, Dave Otero himself, and we are still working with him on the mixing and mastering process.

We also wanted to thank the members of this forum who were nice and patient enough to trust us and helped us to fund that album.

ENJOY, a clip from the opening song : https://deathcodesociety.bandcamp.com/track/pandaemonium-11-excerpt

Dude... I love your band and Otero is the perfect guy to do it. I have an unending amount of respect for that dude and I'm glad this is happening and sounds so good.

 

[LeSedna]

Sounds super cool. I have been silently following you from the moment I heard your first snippet !

 

[indecizo]

the guitars sound so much better in the original mix

they are now too scratchy and waah sounding











stay safe

I'm also loving mix in that youtube version. Guitars are WAY clearer at least for my ears and as Indecizo said - not so scratchy.
Although synths is bit overpowering in that mix.

 

[ArnaudM]

Well, first of all thank you for your reactions. Yes, working with Dave is a cool experience, and to be really honest, he just found the tone I was trying to create.
I mixed the original youtube teaser, so I'm pretty glad you guys found it well done, but I can tell you that, when you compare the WAV files, Dave's mix crushes mine in terms of definition and, I would say, evilness. The scratchy guitars are a black metal trendmark, and I think he found the right balance between the precision we need for the death metal palm mute parts and the more airy black metal chords.
And there's also two other points that make a huge difference : the drum set sounds incredibly better and dynamic on his mix, and the voice is less tiring and sibilant.

Well, after all, it is a matter of taste.

Goddamn it... Pretty much forgot about you guys since last hearing that track. It's been a while. Still love it, though.

 

[ArnaudM]

In the end of january, we're done with the mix.

 

[Christian WUFU]

This is some sick shit, dude! Can't wait to hear the full album. Dave fucking slays

 

[DanLights]

Nice to hear back from your project, can't wait to hear the final thing!!

Posted two other excerpts.
Sorry for the mp3 compression. For an unknown reason, Bandcamp did not accept the wav files, and I had to poorly convert them. But it gives an idea on the songwritting :
