If you want to know any of the gear I used, just ask.
Thanks.

OK the drums are nice, but didn't the axes get a bit lost?

I think he mentioned he used "Slates"...

... as in Steven Slate Drum samples.

"Your religioooooooon... is going nowheeeeeeere"

Brutal song, brutal mix - though I didn't care a whole lot for the metal core style later half of the song. I do however think the drums are more in front of the guitars then they should, can you bring up the guitars a little more maybe without peaking the mix? Also some of the back up vocals are a bit quieter, notably near the end of the song - that might be intentional however.

Also - HOW did they get that awesome bass bomb sound. I've been trying to figure out how to do that. Example would be around 1:14-1:16... I love it when bands do that!

Sweet dude!
I'm posting a new mix of this tonight or tomorrow.
I used a Peavey 5150 through a Mesa 4x12. Mic was a 57.
The drums were Ddrum Dominions With Audix f-15 overheads.
I triggered Steven slate samples with Ddrum triggers.
Vocals were a Shure sm57 as well I think.
All through a Presonus Firepod in to Sonar 8.
And for the drums, they are fully quantized and we did cymbals separate (for no bleed).

A lot of acoustic treatment in the room?
You prefer triggers over micing?
