Hey guys! :kickass:

Here's the multitracks:

Hope you enjoy, it's thrash metal - with a modern take on it. :headbang:
I didn't feature too much screaming/growling, tried to keep it quite thrashy on the vocals.
Tempo is 188bpm through the song!

*ABOUT THE DRUM MIDI:

I don't own any drum VSTi's sadly, so I couldn't map a perfect drum MIDI for you. The drum MIDI included is all the kit pieces in their own tracks set to note C0. If you'd like to use your own drum VSTi's, feel free to assemble the MIDI as I've written what each track is.

Anyhow, start mixing already! :headbang:


You are 100% completely free to use this in your portfolio to promote your studio work, as long as you credited the writing/recording to me!


Cheers!

-Aleksi / rapucore

sweet man! This is actually pretty awesome! I don't really like thresh metal anymore, not since I was younger. But THIS! This is awesome lol! Most original thresh metal I have heard since the 90s probably lol.

Haha thank you a lot! Such a compliment :headbang:
 
Killer song! Really like that modern Testament vibe you have going on, definitely going to give this a try!
 
Killer song mate! :headbang:
A shame I won't have time to mix this for now as I'm in the process of recording an EP with one of my bands, but thanks for the track I'll give it a try when possible :kickass:
 
Alright here is an early mix of it. Thought I would post it up and get some feedback. I don't think I have mixed drums without an overhead before, it was kinda strange at first. I still have to tweak the drums for sure. But I wanna get an overall impression of what you all think of the mix.

Sorry, I should've exported the cymbals as "OHs" too. I'll listen to it right away! :kickass:

EDIT:
I dig the old school-ish (IMO) vibe you gave it! I loved the lead tone, it really suited the rhythms. ;)
Just tweak the drums to be a bit dirtier and you're good to go! :kickass:
