He's just tracking the vocal into both mics at once. He's probably using the SM7 for a warmer, smoother tone and the e609 for a grungier, more midrangey tone. He may be processing the two mics separately as well.
I like to do this with an AKG 414 and an SM57 or Beyer M160, it adds a nice texture.

That guy is so fucking genious, anything can be expected from him. I loved how huge that drums sounded on the video!

Hmmm, anyone know why there's a tent over the drums? They do sound great, Erik. I wonder what his secret is...?

That live room in The Armoury is fucking MASSIVE. Like TOO BIG almost. He's just getting a closer, more in-your-face, drums in a booth type feel to the tracks.

+100, i checked out the pics,that place is huge!!
Boxing in drums always makes em bigger IMO...
check out DIO's Holy Diver album - in interviews he says they had the drummers back to the window and boxed him in with sheets of plywood...
That's weird, I would imagine a lot of nasty comb filtering if you box drums in, such as being in a small room...

No idea as i haven't had a great deal of experience with recording drums, but it seemed to work...
the best room i recorded drums in was a weird triangular shape (had apparently been designed by acoustic engineers) it wasn't a small room but wasn't that big either...

i was listening back to this album last night thought the opposite of the snare, it sounds very small IMO everything sounds pushed and theres not much room for the instruments throughout the album, still a kick ass record though!!

FTR guys, Devin didn't mix this (or the preceding or following SYL albums), so I wouldn't necessarily give him too much credit for the snare sound!

Yeah in that room you have to do that. Got to track there one time and without the "tent", the drums sound like Led Zepplin. The tent also has one other cool feature, which is it keeps the cymbals out of the room a little more.
