That's funny considering all but the kick is 100% natural.
That's pretty unbelievable, I need live clips of this being played!

I am blown away if those really are natural drums (snare/toms). That's crazy. I must know the secrets.
Print with audible preamp distortion, multiple passes through compressors, likely to be some parallel compression in there as well. Listen to how dirty and fucked up the midrange, and then listen to the toms actually distorting on the hard hits in the breakdown towards the end. To quote Will, "that's the sound of transformers blowing up."
He said he'd screen shot the automation for me. It was apparently exhausting.
As someone who's been striving to achieve something similar with Drums the answer is a metric cunt-ton of automation. Don't think there's much point knowing exactly how Will got there as everyone's workflow will be different.
But aside from that its just will. His ears know things. He has foresight for days. His engineering chops are excellent. I really could have never picked a better guy to craft our record.

i. But we're talking Will Putney here. Not some laptop metal kid who used to be in a band that recorded with Sturgis, saw his process and decided to open a 'studio' and continued the REGRESSOION happening in metal production.
