The Acacia Strain - Guitar Tone

[gabriel g.]

i prefer the adam d productions more than Zeuss's for TAS

wormwood is Zeuss, right?
IMO its outstanding, and the best the band ever had....

Drums are fuckin SUPER loud on Wormwood though. Not "too" loud, but just as a metal mix in general they're incredibly up front and present.

Wormwood is genuinely my favourite modern metal mix i reckon, best thing i've heard from Zeuss by a mile too

Agreed about Wormwood being the best sounding album I've heard by Zuess.

Didn't find it too interesting musically though...

yeah it gets boring very fast.
Its to much of the same riffing in all the songs.

But the evil intro is so epic!!!!

i can't believe people like continent, the guitars sound boxy and horrid, and the drums seem distant and.. not good!

wormwood, on the other hand.. man, that hits the nail on the head for guitar tone, the drums are absolutely perfect too.

i think the album is lyrically weak, though.. which is a shame. this same-same dual tracked vocals that is going on is just not cool. vincent's vocal sound has been better in every other album..

i think the only people with any info on the guitar chain on wormwood are not gonna give up any info..! aha.

thanks,

the low end of wormwood just kicks every other TAS album out of the water, and everything just sits in the mix perfect.

Does anyone happen to know where the intro sample to wormwood is from? Or did they record that?

Edit: It appears to be from a documentary about the Manson Family
