Kopeth New Song!

[TheSweetener]

Hi there!
Some of you perhaps remember I did a Opeth style song last year. Everything was done within one day to get used to the new version of Cubase SX.

Now I had a little time to do another one. This time it took two days cause my vocals were so bad and because my voice wasfucked after screaming 15 minutes (I'm not used to it).
With two days I'm talking about composing, programming, recording and mixing.

This time I tested some new amps and mics and combinations (Randall, Boogie with Royer mic etc). Some worked some did not as you can hear.

The sound is not really great compared to what I do normally, but it's okay for two days time.
Listen and enjoy!

Excellent ! Is Opeth so easy to rip off ?

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Actually I don't consider it an Opeth rip-off. The vibe might exist but this is TheSweetener doing his own thing.

Inspired yes, rip-off no.

 

[Nebulous]

Damn fine work for 2 days, damn fine work!

 

[Lefthander]

Awesome man!!!!!!!!!!!
Give us setup????!

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Haha, I didn't mean it in a bad way... Maybe I should have said "spin-off"

 

[TheSweetener]

Thanks for the kind words!!!

I don't remember everything exactly. I did this already a few weeks ago.

The drums are of course programmed, completely with my own samples.
I took the snare from the latest Six Reasons To Kill record that I produced.
I just took the samples I did with their drummer.
The kick is the same as in the first Kopeth song. It's one of the sounds I did for the Linplug RMIV.
The rest I don't remember. But it's all recorded here at Kohlekeller Studios.

The guitars are:
Two tracks Rectifier / Boogie 1x12" recto cab / Royer R121 / Api preamp
No EQ used

Two Tracks Line6 POD2

Two tracks Randall RH200 / Boogie 4x12" cab / SM57 / API preamp

The POD and Randall tracks are very low in volume, just additional guitars.
To be honest, Randall and Recto and POD was not the best combination. The guitars all together sound a little muddy and not as tight as they could be. Could also be the Royer Mic. Normally I also use SM57s.

Clean guitars were Peavey classic 50 / peavey 4x10" cab / Royer R-121 / API preamp

Bass I think was Drawmer 1960 through a hardware Pultec

Melodic vocals were an Oktava MK319 / ADT preamp / distressor
(btw this mic sounded so bad, dark and muddy!!! That was the main reason for putting the telephone effect onto the vocals, ha, ha)

Scream vocals were SM7 / API preamp / Distressor

Once again, If you wanna hear some more (and better sounding) stuff from the studio, just go to

Thanks again!

Very cool!
Make a whole album and Akkerfeldt take you to Opeth(joke)

Wish all the best!

 

[Noumenon]

Dude, great tune!

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Kohle, you are amazing. Thank you for your music, and the information

 

[TheSweetener]

Must know everything!

And LYRICS too.

Thank you

Ah, and as usual the lyrics are totally nonexistant. Bullshit par exellence!

It was quite hard to do the harmony voices cause I had to analyse what I had sung. lol

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Ah, and as usual the lyrics are totally nonexistant. Bullshit par exellence!

 

[Noumenon]

care to share the drum samples used for this tune?

 

[KeithRT99]

it doesn't really sound that much like opeth. it's still pretty cool though.

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Pretty Cool? It's fuckin' awesome

I like the way Kohle emphasises those "Did you..." "Have you..." verses (eg 0.57). Just like in the first Kopeth single, he has that certain style to his singing when he addresses the other person (himself?) in his Kopeth songs.

 

[SoSomething]

I can hear the Opeth influence. It's definitely there, but the song really can stand on it's own and the performance is great.

Really nice work! I enjoyed listening to it for listening's sake, and that's say a lot.

 

[Tachy]

Ummm, I think your song style is Dan Swano....
