If you could Re-Mix/Re-Master ...

[Metaltastic]

I know it's not in the time frame but
Annihilation of the Wicked

God I love that album but it sounds like ass

TTTTTTHHHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNNNNKKKKKKK YOU - though I'd say that for all of Nile's albums

 

[JBroll]

I would sneak into 80s thrash recordings and TURN THE GODDAMN MIDS BACK UP. No, your guitars don't need to sound like bees flying into aluminum foil... seriously.

ROFL I heart your analogies. You should write a book!

 

[Let it burn...]

the black album

 

[Skinny Viking]

Oh yeah, even though I know its like 6 years past the cutoff or something, I seriously would love a chance to remix Solitude Aeturnus' "Downfall" cd ... I don't know what happened to that one but damn it sounds bad. Some killer tunes on there but the sound is just awful

oh and going back to something earlier ... "Hammerheart" from Bathory ... I swear that thing sounds like you're always listening to it on ripped speakers. Must be the 90s version of Death Magnetic

Mercyful Fate- Mercyful Fate/Melissa/Don't Break the Oath

Definitely could have benefited from some modern production.

are you on crack? those albums, especially the Oath still sound great to me.

 

[TravisW]

I always wished that a guy could somehow average out the guitar tones on Melissa and Oath, so Melissa would have more crunch and Oath would have more body. I really like the bass and drums on Oath, though. Kim Ruzz is totally underrated.

 

[The Unavoidable]

," cuz I truly cannot listen to the guitar tone on "Resurrection"

speaking of vagina-faces

No, I'm just kidding. But I do love that tone, but more so in it's original context (Left Hand Path)

 

[Andy Sneap]

i've been listening to The Oath constantly the past month driving to and from the studio. The mixes are a little unbalanced , kicks a bit low at times and the cymbals way back in the mix, but what an amazing album.

 

[TravisW]

LOL! That reminds me of my 4-week Abigail kick.

+1. some wild quotes. I like the one about all alex skolnick blowing that dude a big new asshole out of a bunch of littler asshoes.

Hell yes! That's the album that got me into King Diamond. "Dangerous Meeting" was the first song I ever played/recorded myself on a borrowed 4-track. Wouldn't change a thing on those albums.

Oh don't get me wrong, I absolutely love those albums. I just imagined what songs like Doomed by the living dead and Nuns have no fun would have sounded like if they were recorded yesterday. I guess I misspoke about the mix, because what I was really referring to is mainly the guitar tone and kick sound etc, not the mixing of them.

Btw, while on the topic of King Diamond, I would like to say that Sleepless Nights is such a kickass song. Every time that opening riff comes on an explosion of adrenaline ensues....love it!

 

[TravisW]

Souls of Black...How the hell do you go from Practice What You Preach to THAT?!

+1

The guitars sound just tiny, like they were recorded through my old Crate G-10.

 

[korpse pop]

Some of the old heavy metal albums such as early Mercyful Fate/King Diamond ones have certain magic that would be lost if remixed to more modern sound. The old sound is evil! Lots of reverb and atmosphere that rarely is found on modern dry sounding albums.
I love a lot of the old stuff like Black Sabbath etc, only would remix some levels of those albums, as most of the King Diamond/MF albums have vocals very high in the mix

 

[Andy Sneap]

doomed and nuns wernt actually on the original versions of those two albums were they? I love the snare and toms on the oath, and just the playing in general. Kind of reminds me of sin after sin era Priest.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Dude I've been on a 3 year Abigail kick.


There needs to be a support group for people who have lost friends/jobs over getting sucked into the King's story lines.:zombie:

On the versions I have they don't have doomed and nuns.. I think they're taken from "Mercyful Fate" EP aka "Nuns have no Fun" as bonus tracks.. Awesome songs. You can really hear how much early Metallica is infuenced by that.
Andy please do all you can to be the man to mix the upcoming King/MF records, no offence to Andy LaRocque's productions but they're way too dry and flat compared to classic stuff like Abigail!!!
