A steal if it's a real Viper 400. Brand new they're about double that and LTDs don't typically come with hard cases.

Putting a lot of thought into it.

No-one produces anything that sounds this good anymore. Why was everything sonically better in 1993??

Yeah I’m with you. These ‘sound wars’ are ruining sound. It’s all so sterile nowadays. No dynamic range at all. It’s all 5s, 6s and 7s.

Angry Metal Guy posted a series on this topic a few years back. Took an in depth look into what it was and why it was happening. Probably still on their website somewhere.

I agree 100%

There's new stuff that I put on now that I just can't get through because of the way everything is pushed to the max. Drums in particular are just overpowering and toms begin to sound like kick drums whilst cymbals don't ring out, they just crash and disappear.

Compression and mastering. Absolutely killed most death metal imo. Every track in the mix is identical. These are the types of guitarists who even put compressors on their pedal board live. Think of a mix as a room, you want depth and each track to occupy a seperate layer of the room. These days everything is crushed up against the front. My mob are actually looking at grabbing some single coil guitars for recording just so they sit higher in the mix. It sounded like a hipster move at first but when I read Nergal say he recorded The Satanist with a Telecaster it eventually made a lot of sense. Of course the recordings are still clean, but that's because it's digital and you're either recording with a direct line into a board or your amp is mic'd up at room level. No one has the time for live tracking anymore.

His stuff is some of the worst. Even before I got into recording and stuff, the first Hate Eternal I ever heard/bought sounded like shit.

Is that a reissue? Earache have done well remastering stuff.

Anyone else feeling wary of order from overseas at the moment? I wanna order some stuff from the US but not sure.

Personally no I’m not wary. Expect longer than normal delivery times but outside of that no real changes. What are you thinking of ordering?

Nah. I ordered some new RAM for my next PC build on Monday from the US using UPS and had it by Thursday morning. Just wiped the box down with an anti-bacterial wet wipe and stuff. No cold or flu symptoms yet.

 

[Dee Snider]

Actually is it me or is international postage cost waasay out of control right now?
