listening to it now... sounds good so far.. though the snare is god-awfully loud in the thrash beat, and the verb/ambience on it doesn't fit well for every section of the song.

digging both the song and the mix overall though.

 

[LosingReality]

Got it now! thanks!

 

[TheIllicitOne]

Good shit. I am now excited for the album.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

only 2:43?? way too short ffs

I don't like the guitar grain, too fizzy, but good tone!

 

[nwright]

that snare sounds completely disconnected from the rest of the mix IMO.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE IS BACK!!!!

But the snare is to low in volume.
The mastering clips!!!!

WTF

hope this is one of this promo masterings for metalhammer ....

But I like the song no more wannabe pantera

 

[BrettT]

Hate it, as expected.

 

[LosingReality]

^It is an Mp3 though....?

I like it.....the vocals sound killer!

 

[Virgil.]

I just listened to it... I think it sounds great. It sounds like they're returning to the sound (songwriting) they had on their The End of Heartache album -- without Sneappppage's master production/mixing skillz of course

 

[James Murphy]

just traded emails about it with roadrunner guys... they say they aren't happy with the mastering and are getting it redone... so, that's not the final master folks.

 

[Seizure.]

Holycrap... snare sounds reeeaaally sampled aswell imo.. and like everyone said, way to loud in the trashbeat..

 

[James-Doolan]

Must be a promo or something sounds pretty bad during the heavy chugs but im digging the song

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I fuckin love it!

Killer riffs in the chorus.

Interesting...To me, it almost sounded like it wasn't "mastered" at all, just loud. The snare is funky, too loud in the "blasts", but then too quiet at other times.

Who actually mixed this one? I know Brendan O'Brien was involved and Adam as well, but who handled mixing duties?

 

[gabriel g.]

Good to hear!!!! thanks for the info James

I'm really digging the tune... glad to see that it wasn't a total commercial sell out. I too agree about the snare getting a bit loud in the thrash parts. Looking for to hear the rest of the album!
