The Metal Month campaign site is set for launch on November 1 and the first product release slated for November 6. Already on October 26, however, Toontrack will host a kick off party at the intimate live music venue Scharinska near the company’s headquarters in Umeå, Sweden. Swedish polyrhythmic and ”Djent” inventors Meshuggah will perform alongside American up and coming metal act Periphery, both of which are booked to perform one-off shows exclusively at this event.

- I can honestly say that this year we have a few of the most unique releases ever, said Mattias Eklund, Toontrack’s co-founder and Head of Sound Design. Without disclosing too much, there will be sounds designed by one of the world’s most sought-after mix engineers as well as without a doubt the most exciting mix tool of the year for metal guitar and bass.


More Ezmix2 Presets???? o a real "Superior Metal Amp" vst???

Looks like at least one of this years Metal Month releases is on page 71 of the new Guitar Player

 

[JeffTD]

^^Anyone able to post a scan of that?


And yeah, hopefully some raw-ish metal kits better than what TMF had... those drums sound fucking terrible.

LOL so it wasn't just me

Nope, can't stand them either... I know I might start a war here, but those drum sounds were just an recording-engineering failure. No fix-in-the-mix can hide it.

 

[worldwideweapon]

I think the Vancouver is mentioned there for a reason and I think that indicates maybe some drum action with Randy Staub, as they have past with ezmix stuff?

 

[Gonzo666]

let's see...Gods of Metal...IA Eklundh, Devin Townsend, Frederik Thordendal...and Misha Mansoor (?!?)....Vancouver...
smells like:
- Randy Staub EZX Library (perhaps a SDX...but EZX is more obvious)
- Djent/Polyrhythmic Midi Add-On
- Djent/Polyrhythmic EZ-Mix Pack
- Devin Townsend EZMix Pack (or even a EZX)
- an Ampsim or an EZMix Pack for metal guitars
