I don't really like the guitars, however, they seem to be a bit scooped and their highs are harsh. Just my humble opinion, though.
That was my favorite part.
New one for you guys...

BTW, guitars used were the BC Rich Warlock (certainly has a signature sound) with EMG 85 in the bridge. We used it for about 90% of the rhythms. Blackjack was used on fills, & the Dimebag was for leads. All guitars went into my 5150/Mesa cab.
Now about that snare....
It was a Pork Pie Big Black brass with a plain jane Remo ambassador head on top.
2 mics. Sm57 on top, Rode NTK on the bottom. API 512c preamps for both. Drums hit VERY hard. Even on blast beats. Blisters & band-aids were the order of the day. Every time the drummer made the mistake of complaining about his bleeding hands, I'd just yell, "Shut the fuck up, you fucking pussy! I thought you were a man! Hey guys, when did you hire a little girl to play the drums?" & whatnot. This guy was Quarterback for the University's football team, so I'm sure he can take the abuse. Jocks are so predictable. Question their manhood & they fall in line pretty quick.
By the end of day three of tracking drums, I almost felt sorry for him for about 5 seconds, then regained my sanity. If you're going to play this sort of thing, then play it. Don't make excuses.
Yeah, I might have been a little harsh, but I sure got a hell of a performance. The trick was slamming the bottom mic into the JB Ferox plugin, so it got nice & super crunchy, then adding a transient back in with Dominion. That & a short gate release. Sounded like shit soloed up, but when paired with the top mic, it's just fantastic.
