New Bleeding Through is TITS.

[Loren Littlejohn]

I have a pre-release CD I am reviewing for school (album comes out on the 30th). Way fucking better than the Truth. Melodies and such awesomeness.

It brings the brootalz quite nicely as well. Can't give to much detail as far as production because it came in a promo sleeve (so no liner notes ).

I borrowed the cd from the interwebz, songs are great but it sounds waaay overcompressed

 

[AudioGeekZine]

"TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!"
made me LOL

I like it too, been listening to it for a week.

I kinda miss the pinch harmonics after every phrase like on "This is love, this is murderous".

Got to hear the good shit. Sounds good.

It was produced by Devin Townsend. I don't know if he mastered it though. Jona sent me the track Sister Charlatan a few weeks back and I thought it was their best sounding stuff to date. All the vocals seem much better.

 

[gumplunger]

As much as I love Devin Townsend, stuff he produces usually ends up with a pretty ugly mix and the mastering compression is way overdone.

 

[xFkx]

Aha way overcompressed isn't even the word.... I've never heard any album as much compressed as this one..

It's pumping like Eric Prydz

SYL's The New Black was very well done and didn't sound bad all, which was done by Townsend, although I don't know if he mastered it himself or not. I haven't really listened to much anything else from him (save for a few tracks from the DTB releases), and those have all been fine, relatively speaking.

I played a show with Bleeding Through once a looooong time ago with my old hardcore band. They are really good live. At the time "This is Love, This is Murderous" was what they were touring to support. They gave us a few copies and at the time I thought it sounded pretty badass. Years later, literally a month ago, some friends and I stumbled upon the disc in a cd wallet and put it in. Sounded totally different to me than it did years before. Still good...just different than I remembered. THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT! I think I'll check Truth and this new one out since they both are getting good reviews.

Wow, I din't expect THAT much compression, and I read your comments before having a listen. I think I'am starting to have a headache and I'm halfway through the second song ;/

 

[Kazrog]

Devin produced it? I'll have to check it out then. I love what he does for bands as a producer (pushing vocalists into new superhuman territory, etc.), although I'm not always a fan of his mix engineering (he's all over the map, although he's gotten much better over time.)

Regardless, Devin is god, and I buy any album he's involved with!

Totally agree with all that man.

Although Shaun Thingvold has often engineered Dev's albums... so I don't know how much overall sound has to do with him.

Have you heard Misery Signal's 'Of Malice And The Magnum Heart'?

The production isn't flawless by any means, but it really suits the album - and is my favourite album of all time - courtesy of Devin's incredible production.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Anyone have a fav track yet? Mine is 8 "death anxiety".

I HATE the mix on that cd strictly because of the vocals. Fuck. Though I do love the mix on their newest cd. Good shit.

I'm supposed to be reviewing it, but Nuclear Blast are fucking terrible at sorting out their online preview pages and they haven't given me access to it yet... my editor applied like 12 days ago and they still have got back to him.

They can't even get the review copies out on time and they wonder why people download shit? Grr.

[Loren Littlejohn]

The promo is funny as shit it says "not for resale" "illegal copying is fucked" "This CD is watermarked".

I find the watermarked thing a bit hard to believe but it's funny non the less.

 

[iamandy]

"TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!"

i thought it was "Die" in hell?

anyhoo, great album.. really like it! you can tell some of the songs have some IKTPQ style lurking around

and i didn't realise they had keyboards in song.. i thought Marta was hired to look super hot.

 

[Metaltastic]

(Kinda hard to die in hell... )

 

[nuclearass]

I really like this record too. For some reason I don't even mind the obvious overcompression on this one, even though I usually hate it. IMO it actually sounds pretty cool.

 

[Machinated]

I have noticed a lot of the CD's Devin has produced have been mastered really hot recently. I agree that his mixes have got better recently too, and also that he offers so much in terms of production/arrangement/performances etc.

With Misery Signals, they sound cool but I always thought their vocals were a bit one dimensional (not heard huge amounts of them though).
