1st song on the hi-res player:
Assassinate the Following - Sweet Taste of Nothing.

 

[Keregioz]

Nice, everything sounds good to me. Maybe rhythm guitars could be a little louder, not really sure though.

Good job.

 

[Black neon bob]

Cool stuff Oz.. i agree with keregioz that the rhytm guitars could be a taddy bitty wee itty bitty louder.
Thing that stands out for me the most is that really cool sounding ride! i dont know, i just love the sound of it.

 

[Splat88]

This sounds great and very polished! I can't really think of anything else to suggest other than what the other boys said.

 

[DANiMALxMD]

was totally expecting death metal vox. then they didn't happen.

 

[Javi Perera]

Cool dude. A bit "soft" mix for my taste, but pretty cool as well. I LOVE the bass sound it sounds like "rrrrrrrrgggggh", and I love it.

I think the same as Keregioz, guitars must be a bit louder.

 

[lolzgreg]

Overheads are amazing. I would make guitars louder, and maybe take a little more low mid out of the snare (JUST A TAD).

 

[Soundlurker]

Sounds very nice. As usual, the only thing I don't like is the snare but it's just a preference thing.

 

[dan weapon]

sounds great Oz.

Thank fuck, I love the vocals as they are!

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Thanks guys,

Belive it or not, we actually used a really cheap Ibanez 7 string with passive pickups for the rhythm guitars on this song.

Drums are all 100% real, with no sample augmentation, except for the kick, which is Slate #5. Personally, I love the snare.... it's one my personal best snare recordings. It was a Pork Pie "Big Black Brass"

Bass is that Ridiculous Hembry that I put pictures up of a while back.

Nice music! After the initial snare roll it gave me a maiden "big quick or be dead" run away train vibe. I did hear a harmonised chord change combined with a tempo change that was very much a trivium yoink i think? 1:26? Start of "light to the flies" perhaps. And obviously very old school influenced solo wise which made for some nice listening. Enjoyed the mix a lot Oz especially the guitars, felt the snare brought a very "live" presence to the whole thing. It did hit me a bit strange though that it was so dry, when the guitar solos for instance were quite wet if that makes any sense?

Oh you know you love the cheap Ibbys.
