World Painted Blood

It sounds like a band playing through actual amps without gobs of help to make it loud and METAL. What's so wrong with a more organic sound?
 
This is the first Slayer album I enjoy song wise, since Divine Intervention! The sound is crap though!! I agree. Look at new Maiden stuff, it´s even more terrible. Weak songs & weak production in my opinion. Slayer rule hell!!!
 
<3

And don't get me wrong, I definitely don't thing Fidelman is a bad engineer per se, I just think he isn't the right guy for this kind of music. I love his work with High On Fire, Audioslave, Johnny Cash, SOAD and so on.

He's only credited as doing editing on the first Audioslave album, and thank fuck tbh because that album is taaaasty and Fidelman would never have done it justice in a million years.

Only an assistant engineer on the SOAD one also.

Wow, so it seems. I stand corrected! :)


Yeah? I love Snakes For The Divine, and I actually think the production fits pretty well :)
 
Very strange, I'm not a Slayer fan at all, but I like the production of World Painted Blood, I think it fits the band very good...
Bit more gain on the guitars wouldnt harm I guess but apart from that I think it's ok.
 
I agree with Mago here. Not a big fan also but I dont see slayer with a modern production. It doesnt fit!lol because slayer, it´s slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Tvue bands must have raw productions \m/
 
Imagine WPB with the sound of Testament's "The Gathering" and tell me you didn't just get a little hard

Nah not even a little...but it's a bad cock day for me today :lol:

What is so shitty about the sound...I seriously don't get it?
I think only the geetars could have more gain, but appart from that?
Reign in blood doesnt sound THAT much different to me also
