Debut album from HIGH PARASITE out today!

Around this time last year I was approached about working with this new band. Their demos sounded great and the style was inspired by dark and gothic metal and featured Aaron Stainthorpe from MY DYING BRIDE on lead vocals. I was instantly impressed and interested and it was a real joy mixing and mastering this album and working with the band in developing their sound. Go check it out!

New VOMITORY album All Heads Are Gonna Roll

Today we celebrate that this fine album is unleashed upon the world! And it's a very special album, but why is that? Well, first off Vomitory are a splendid orchestra with their no compromise, no f***s given style of death metal, and I have been a big fan of the band since the very beginning, way back in the olden times. Also, this is their first release in 12 years, so this is some sort of a comback for the band.

But not only that, they entusted ME with shaping the way this album sounds, by enlisting (conscripting, more like it) me to mix and master the album. What an honour! My goal and vision for the album was to keep it as natural as I could while not sacrificing clarity, punch and brutality. One of the ways to do that was to not use any drum samples, so what you hear are the sounds produced by Tobias Gustafsson hammering the living crap out of his TAMA-kit. Something I always try to do when mixing fantastic drummers.

Go listen to this album today, and keep spinning it all throughout the weekend and into infinity! Cheers!

New BLOODBATH album out now

The new BLOODBATH album "Survival of the Sickest" is finally out. We started this journey 1,5 years ago and the recordings were off and on during that time (due to the plague of course) but in the end we managed to pull it off. The highlight being when restrictions were temporarily lifted and Nick managed to fly out to Stockholm to lay down the vocals. It was such a fun time.

I’m extremely proud of this album and very thankful for being trusted with shaping the way it sounds, especially since I'm following in the footsteps of some of the best producers in Metal who I all respect greatly.

Crack open a beer and give the album a spin today! “To dream of death while awake”

Apple Digital Masters

We are proud to announce that we are now on the exclusive list of studios certified by Apple to provide high resolution masters that can be branded as Apple Digital Masters.

From Billboard.com:

"On August 7 Apple Music announced the launch of Apple Digital Masters, a new initiative by the streaming giant that combines all of its “Mastered for iTunes” offerings into one global catalog. This is the company’s first public acknowledgement of the initiative, which it has been quietly unveiling for some time.

Launched in 2012, Mastered for iTunes created a set of guidelines and software tools (distributed for free) that allowed engineers to optimize their music for the digital download service format by encoding from high-resolution masters. The goal of the program was to create studio-quality sound files virtually identical to the original master recordings (aka "lossless" audio), which were then placed in a special “Mastered for iTunes” section on the app."
