The METAL Thread

[thestaggy]

It's terrible.
The background is totally overpowering the frequency range.
The hats, snares, etc are all pushed back.
And you can hear it's not pushed back for effect but rather because of clashing frequencies.

I have mixed tunes down for years and from the first drum hit I could hear it was a bad mixing job.
The atmosphere is taking up the frequency range and then they still try to fit the drums in there.

All intentional. These types of bands/artists do not go for a clean, perfect sound.

Darkspace is a rather praised band. It's regarded as 'space metal' so I'm pretty sure the way it sounds is intentional ;P

The album is great regardless

I just LOVE the drums in this.

Opeth fans: what do you think of Pale Communion? I think it's better than Heritage but part of me still wants more Ghost Reveries-ish stuff

I like it, much better than Heritage anyway. I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record but absolutely nothing beats 'Still life'.

I think I listened to it and Heritage once, which pretty much says it all. It's not awful, I just prefer heavy Opeth.

prOd, by 'Still Life', and I can only assume you meant to type 'Blackwater Park'.

*edit*

Or possibly, 'Deliverance'?

Let's not start this...

But I'm sure you are greatly mistaken ;P

Here's my most anticipated release of 2014.

It's leaked. And it's fantastic, although I do share the sentiment with those who complain about the fact that there are only 3 full length songs on it. That being said, this album is a beast, "Devour Me, Colossus (Part I) - Blackholes" is f#cking crazy

Metalcore band I recently discovered. Looks like a pretty sick band from the few tracks I heard from them.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Also excited for the new Ne Obliviscaris.

The new Nightbringer is pretty good, although I've only given it 1 listen so far.
