YT: The Black Stymphalian - Chaoskampf (New EP Khaos Sigma)

[Jaymz]

Hey guys,

It's been 4 years since my last EP came out and i've finally got round to getting this one finished! This EP comes out on Friday and features some immense guest musicians including Lyle Cooper (ex Faceless) on drum duties. Drums tracked me Mike Garrison off this very forum!

First little perfomance video to wet the appetite!

Im sure if you would have made videos like Ola you would probably have been as famous as him by now. You play like a god, riff god (y)

And i have always liked your mixing, right up my alley! Sneapish in a good way!

Whoooooooooooaaaaaaa this..... is Christ-punchingly heavy. Bravo. Now tell us everything!!

 

[Mago]

So awesome dude, vid is ace.
Not a fan of how the vocals are filmed, but I know that you don't have a lot of control over that, so it's cool to have them in there at least!

The fact that I still find myself enjoying listening to your tunes, and and banging the shit out of my head, after all the tone test/mixes is evidence that everything about this is top notch.

I hope that lots and lots of people get to hear this EP when it's gonna be out on Friday.

That first solo sounds cool. I hear Nevermore right there ! I'm digging that pure metal riffing. Sounds rare nowadays !

 

[Melb_shredder]

Hell yeah \m/

 

[guy in latvia]

Holy shit, that was awesome! Great riffing and awesome mix!

I'm really loving the bass tone, care to share what you got going on there?

 

[Keregioz]

The mix is awesome, really good job.

 

[drew_drummer]

Phat as phuck mate.

 

[varobinson]

badass, new fan here just won over.

I am having a hard time perceiving what the guitars are doing when he is screaming. Guitars are a bit low in the mix or is the voice that is too loud. I dig the riffs a lot but I am not digging the vocals so much, especially those "black metal screams" sounds a bit off the "context"

The mix doesn't sound that sneapy, it's just the snare.

"Sneapish in a good way"...

just lol

Well one of the most prominent things about a sneap mix is the snare so if you agree on that the snare sound a bit like a sneap snare then you could agree on that the mix itself reminds of a sneap mix.


So go lol all you want troll...

You said the mixing was sneapish not the snare. The first TBS EP had a sneapish snare too and the mix sounds nothing like sneap. This is a sneapish mix done by someone else. "Sneapish in a good way" is a really funny statement, like implying sneapish is bad.

 

[crillemannen]

I clearly meant "sneapish" as a compliment. So whatever man... Don't want to derail the thread.

Thanks for checking it out guys!

The mix isn't perfect by any means....but it was a real pain in the arse overall. Nothing worked out quickly, especially the guitars...for some reason the DI's didn't work with anything I tried. Glad I got something fairly useable in the end though!

The bass is just my Overwater 5 string jazz with my B7K Kemper profiles. For drums the kick is replaced and partly the snare....the toms are all real.

The whole EP is out tomorrow and I will shoot another video for one other song. If you check this link from tomorrow onwards you can get the whole EP in mp3/wav and FLAC formats.

Thanks again for the comments guys!

PS: Andy is a huge influence and the reason I got into mixing so I totally take it as a compliment! As far as the Sylosis link, that's Scott Atkins who did that album and he's just tracked the drums for the next project im going to mix! Stoked! :hotjump:
