So, how do you get that buttery/smooth mix?

I'm talking about the character of records like Death's Individual Thought Patterns and Warbringer - War Without End. It has that buttery quality to it, which makes for a massive-sounding attack and a weird, but cool organic vibe. I'm kinda tired of modern mechanical metal tones and I want to try something different. How is this achieved?

Focus on your release time. You can get some really sweet results with an attack time of 100ms and a slow attack..

Kidnap Scott Burns. Warbringer is a great band.

Guitars are very saturated, transients are really smoothen out (good amount of distortion). Also, kill attack frequencies a bit (this Warbringer guitar seems to have some air boosted on guitars). They also sound like they are not hard edited, which also helps.

Thanks, fellas.

Didn't listen on the clip. But saturation is usally the key, and adding analogue elements like real compressors on certain element like vox and snare etc. Try PSP Vintagewarmer 2 a really nice "analogueish" type of plugin. Slate VCC is a favorite of mine too
