That crazy mechanical "Remembrance" sound

Okay, I get it, mutes and kick blend perfectly, but still, how is this sound produced? How is it possibly to make a guitar sound like that?

just dead notes maybe?

Are you referring to the part around 3:22? It sounds to me like a noise gate set very tight.

 

[Igor Samurovic]

Hm, so it's a noise gate making that crazy cut off sound? Could be it. Especially since guitars are not at all present, which would mean that barely any audible noise comes through, resulting in a tighter-than-life tone, even though it's not 'tight' in the common sense.

The tail of the notes is being cut off very short. You can achieve that by setting a noise gate to cut the volume right after the attack of each note. At least that's how I would approach the guitars to get that result.

you can cut/edit the tail of the notes after recording and decide how tight you want it to be, like a manual noise gate, that sound is definitely unique tho... bass guitar plays a big part of it

I'm not always a big fan of the super tight-edited sound like that, but in this case it sounds fucking awesome!

I normally hate gates but I have never tried to use one to get that effect. I always just manually cut the ends off.

Start with very low gain settings (more crunchy than hi gain) and palm mutting

Yea Gojira use a lot less gain then most would think.
