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!
