New Manowar Lord of Steel

[Skaldir]

One of the worst bass sounds I ever heard.
what the hell happened there?
The song is nice though!

 

[StefTD]

wow-what the fuck is that bass sound? that's disgusting...

 

[Skaldir]

I don't know, maybe Joey soldererd himself a fuzz box?

you mean a fuzz box full of quality-destroying parts that than goes into another fuzz box that does the same shit,
than put a lo-fi plugin on it and than try to make this sound like shit?

He actually had a pretty good bass sound in the past imho, a bit to much highs and mids for my taste, but he plays
in a different way so it suited the style, but this stuff now, god damn, I can't even find words to describe it...

 

[Skinny Viking]

Just heard this yesterday ... fucking TERRIBLE

Seriously, how the fuck can a band like Manowar not get it together with their production values?

 

[plague_rider]

WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS BAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ??

 

[Skinny Viking]

the album blows too ... shame really. I actually like the fact that the drumming doesn't sound so obviously like a drum machine, actually sounds like a drummer playing which as much as I loved SC, they've been missing that for a long time. I guess Manowar truly is done.

Actually I pretty much liked all songs except for two. The bass sound distracts from listening to the song though :/

 

[LeSedna]

Wow the mixer forgot to remove his 3 instances of fuzz emulations before printing the mixdown !

 

[Skinny Viking]

I was liking the 1st song initially but it just seems watered down now. A couple of cool moments but aside from the incredibly annoying bass sound I just can't find a song that truly lives up to my expectations ... and they weren't incredibly high

As a long time fan, since basically around Sign of the Hammer, this is actually a bigger letdown than Gods of War. I figured they would come back with a vengeance after that slab of shit .. although "King of Kings" was a KILLER song \m/

What an awful production... bass is epic turdish fucking shit!!!. Just listened to some random fragments and I even found a mistake; 00:43 punch out on the left channel. I hope it is just a preproduction mix for iTunes and the album on september will be fixed.

The band that claims to have the best sound of the world... It's annoying to listen to that fucking 8-Bit synth bass. uke:
How did they manage to make "Kings Of Metal" sound so fucking good in 1988, and how can they do so huge piece of shit nowadays??

There can be only one explanation: It is a joke.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

The man already have one of the worst bass sound at live, this proves his disgusting choice of sound.

 

[ArthurD]

He used 3 instances of Ezmix for bass

 

[~BURNY~]

He pulled a Lars.

 

[MetalMiller]

He must be kidding!

[Sloan]

I feel refreshed just hearing something a bit different. I think it's a bit too loud in this mix, but whatever. I listen to worse sounding shit for enjoyment on a regular basis.
