New Thy Art Is Murder? (Putney)

[He's Dead, Jim]

I didn't like the last Acacia Strain record's production at all but this sounds totally different both from that and from Putney's usual style. The drums especially sound great imo.

 

[JeffTD]

I love it but I was going to anyway. 5150/Archon for rhythm gtrs. no boost. Probably D Activator bridge pickup, maybe a Blaze or DSonic, but definitely passive.

I have a feeling Andy pushed for more low end on this and got his way - A/B'ing with Gideon, Acacia, NBR, etc (newer Putney), this thing is way chunkier.

 

[Clockwork]

I dig it. Never been a huge fan, but personally I find the riffage in this song a little more interesting than in some of their past material. Guitars sound sick.

Assuming the drums are all natural on this again? If so, gawd dayum!

ted jensen's master might have influenced this

 

[Ermz]

Preferring the sound of this a lot to the last album.

I've listened to this about 100 times since it came out. I'm in loooooveee with the drums. Atomic bombs hitting trash cans with some punchy compressed goodness. I've noticed that vocalists who work with Will who do the super low growly/guttural stuff always end up doing their super low vocals just a touch higher than normal. I'm not sure if he's a stickler for pronunciation, but he does damn good work with vocalists and making them sound like giants. 10/10 would bang again, just preordered it last night

 

[Mago]

this sounds fucking awesome!
Digging the song and the production a lot more than on what I heard from the last album.

Production on this is super cool, apart from the kind of distortion or whatever on the kick...I like distortion on drums, but I just don't dig the shape and sound of it here. Also sticks out a bit too much. Rest is killer!

 

[Manicompression]

This sounds awesome. I liked the last one too, but this seems a touch more depraved and evil. Also, this is not helping my Archon GAS.

 

[MoTang]

Sounds huge.

Getting a lot of Behemoth vibes from this track specifically.

 

[bryan_kilco]

Slightly off topic, but I just saw a post on Facebook about Will Putney forgetting to master snare/toms on an album. Anyone know what this is all about?

 

[mva801]

That makes absolutely no sense. You can't just forget to master a snare. It's in the mix. You master the whole track.

 

[bryan_kilco]

Thats what I thought. There is talk of it though. Pretty sure it's the new Northlane. Maybe it's just a joke going around since the drums on it sound really raw compared to what he usually goes for?

I hope so. That's like saying you used the wrong pair of scissors to paint your house. It just doesn't make sense.

 

[DeclanWhite]

are you serious?

It was a joke made by Jon of Northlane
