Just got the finished artwork and master for "Self Exile". Album was mixed by Tommy Hansen. It sounds like a heavier, better produced version of Soulrain 21. I loved Soulrain 21 - one of my favorites of last year - but to my ears this is more immediate, has greater impact, and is very progressive.
Not sure how to compare. They are two different bands that were tracked in different studios, mixed in different studios with a different set of ears. Tommy Newton worked on Redemption and Wastefall was handled by Tommy Hansen.
Oooops my bad. For a second I mistook him for Tommy Newton and had to think of the amazing production on Conception, Ark, and Redemption albums.
Tommy Hansen is cool too. Didn't he do the huge-sounding Section X album of Beyond Twilight?
I look forward to hearing the new Wastefall album. I ordered both albums from lasercd before and think they're quite good. Hopefully their new one will be their best yet.
