New Killswitch Engage track...

[Sickan]

It grows on you! Didn't like the chorus to much at first, but the song is KSE-catchy.
Excited to hear the rest ofc.

 

[C_F_H_13]

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

Can't say for sure....but if I hd to guess I'd say B O'B and Nick Didia.

 

[crillemannen]

Hmm quite good actually.. Chorus really reminds me of Evergrey in a good way. The snare could have a little less snare bottom mic. But cool, will shure buy it

 

[Ataraxia2320]

First thoughts was jesus H christ, that snare is LOUD! Seriously it actually distracts me from the rest of the song. After a few listens though im a bit dissapointed in the actual track, its not bad but i feel its like killswitch by numbers. The album shall deffinatly be checked out though, any idea when the release is?

June 30th IIRC

EDIT
And it looks like a deluxe edition with a making of DVD will be released as well.

 

[LosingReality]

^29th

 

[Psych05]

Definitely better than I expected. Didn't expect too much, though.
Regardless of the song, they should let Andy mix again, TEOH annihilates this production-wise.

 

[JoshSylosis]

Song's pretty cool.
Mastering is clipping all over the place - really annoying. Wander what amps they used...
Look forward to getting the DVD

hit the nail on the head.

Overall I have to say the guitars don't seem as thick as their other albums.

Yeah, the quad tracking in TEOH kills!

Studio pictures that were up on the roadrunner site the other month show'd a mesa triple rectifier and a marshall vintage modern.

 

[K Odell]

Stoked! This is my favorite band by fars bc they seem to always deliver songs that are really well written and powerful. But then again I love this more accessible sounding stuff.

and a 5150!

 

[Trondsa]

Me likes! Good song.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Great song!

Agreed. I didn't care much for Daylight Dies, but this new effort seems worthwhile.

 

[TheIllicitOne]

the 5150 is the only one in the room not on...

 

[Everybody]

idk sounds to much like something youd hear on the radio
and the blasting is out of place lol

i agree its a good song, but commpared to old kse im not feelin this one too much

 

[Aaron Smith]

I also thought the snare was too loud the entire time...and those chords on the chorus are the cookie-cutter chords that the guitar basically hands to you if you don't spend any time trying to be creative. I've liked KsE for a long time, but it doesn't sound like a whole lot of work went into the songwriting. I don't know... I'll probably buy the album regardless!

 

[ahjteam]

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.

Hope they won't master it any louder, its -9dB RMS already.


edit: what is that howling kinda sound starting at 1:05? Is it vocals or synths?
