Morbid Angel - Covenant. Sounds pretty much perfect to me. All bands that tried to cover those songs ended with worse production than the original IMO.
Covenant was just amazing, I always loved the mix but I always thought I was the only one lol

Also, as much as I don't really like Marshall tones, I would say that I really like the production of "Dormant Heart" from Sylosis. Again, I don't know why, I am not a Marshall guy at all (and that's what they use if I'm not mistaken)... but there is something in this album that I find catchy tone-wise.
As far as polished metal productions go, in my book it's pretty hard to top the latest Architects record.
beat me to it!
Covenant to me is the epitome of natural tones and sound. Most modern mixes don't sound natural per say. Not that they sound bad.
+1 for this, or at least their latest album. I wouldn't say I liked the production on albums before "And death said live..."

Can't really pick one. It does a disservice to the thousands of mixes out there tailored specifically to their particular genres. Out of the rock/metal realm, some of my favourites over the years have been:
Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama
Korn - Untouchables
Architects - Lost Forever//Lost Together
Dead by April - Incomparable
I find as I get older I'm starting to prefer the glued, analogue-esque mixes with a certain flair, rather than ones that have been tetrised to perfection. Henrik's stuff is probably the one exception, because he manages to maintain a level of power that many ITB mixers lose.
Exactly!
Btw, aren't you the guy that posted a bassier remaster of "cleansed in pestilence" on the morbid forum? Nice job on that, it rules!
yep that was me, thanks man
did you ever hear the hate eternal one I did as well?
Alive or Just Breathing, Adam D defined the 2000s modern metal sound.
Vibey mixes, SYL - Alien, just absolutely crazy.
