congrats, it sounds good. interesting sounding band.

is that an upright bass on the first track?

Thanks man!

Yes that an upright full size double bass. What a bitch to mic and tuck in the mix. I had the pre amp so hot that if he had farted it would have blown up my monitors. haha!

Guitars are a Hughes and kettner and Line 6 HD142 both thru a standard mesa V30 cab - One SM57 1 inch away from center on cone on axis. API 312 mic pre was used.:kickass:
 
this band is quite unique, thats rare with metal nowadays.
good job on the production, sounds really hevvy :heh:

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

The guitars only have a bit of a high mid boost on the eq, thats it though, pretty raw I know.

Yeah Guitarguy thats awesome, I forgot they were on the road as of now. They are a good/tight live band for sure, lots of energy.:rock:
 
I love this band! they got the old uphill battle drummer don't they?

awesome job on this one man! tell me about the Overhead sound.. it was the first thing that caught my attention, realy nice!!

Thanks for giving this band a cool sound man! they deserve it!

Yeah Danny Walker (drummer) was a forming member of this band, he was in Uphill Battle yes and currently drums for Phobia as well and a band named Cinema Strange - I dont see how he pulls off such a busy roster, Ive done 2 bands at one time and it killed me.

The overheads are are a mixture of akg matched pair 414TLII
, and (2) Octava MK012 for the left and right chinas. I only cut like 200-400 htz out of em, I like em a bit dark and roomy.

The verb is a LOGIC PRO reverb called Space Designer - I used like 4 variations of that reverb for all the instruments, one for snare, one for toms, one for vox, and one for guitars.
