I thought of some more questions. Thanks again for answering all of these, it's really cool to get to know all of these things. When you ended up producing these Death Metal bands (Macabre, Nile, Cannibal Corpse), did the bands approach you? Or did the label approach you? Or did it happen...

Thanks for all of the answers, and in such quick time! My own band actually does a lot of similar things. We recorded our demo with a bass drum mic and re-sampled. We did drums, rhythm guitar, bass, lead guitars, vocals. Our drummer did use a click though, so that's different. We avoided...

Since you produced Macabre's "Dahmer" and "Murder Metal" albums, I had a few questions about those two albums. First off, did you trigger/sample the bass drum on both albums? The "Murder Metal" bass drum sounds a bit more sampled than the "Dahmer" bass drum, so I'm wondering if there's a...

1.Star Craft fan? Because that's a pretty awesome cover. 2.So all of the vocals are you, huh? It sounds great. To be honest, the vocals remind me of my own vocals a bit, and in another way, remind me a bit of Chris Reifert. 3.All of the instruments sound great too, especially the guitars and...

It's 1:42 AM. Just got back from Death to All, and I have to say, Steve, you KILLED IT. That was easily some of the best bass work I've ever seen live (only one who compares is Buckethead), and easily one of the best shows I've ever seen live (only one who compares is again Buckethead). I wish...

That would be great, especially if it were the LA one because I'm going to that. It's a bummer I might not get to meet Steve though, as you have to have the deluxe package to meet the band mates.

I'd say one bassist who has been much overlooked is "Nefarious" from Macabre. Check out some of his stuff - I just think this guy is immensely underrated as is the whole band. I love his ability to make a really catchy bass line OVER a really catchy guitar line, all while playing backdrop to...

Looks great, although I wonder why Autopsy wasn't included on the list of bands.

Bought my ticket. Steve, if you read this, I hope you get some time to hang out with some of your fans before/after the show... because I'd love to get a chance to meet you in person, and I can't afford the VIP package.

Metallica, Megadeth, Death (first three albums), Atheist, Exhorder, Pantera, Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Sadus... these are all bands who released albums before Human where the bass was clearly audible. You may have written it off as standard during the time, but if you actually look at the...

This is so beautiful... and it's probably going to sell out before I get a chance to get tickets! But it's worth it... Steve, Gene... in the SAME PLACE. Nothing could be plausibly better unless Strapping Young Lad reformed (hey, I'm a big fan of the Strapping).

I second the LA show, because I would not only love to see and meet Digiorgio, I'd be honored to have my band play a show with him sometime!

I could guess what that mystery album is, but I don't want to utter the band name because I don't want to ruin it for people who don't know. Also, how have you not heard Queens of the Stone Age? They're really good! Although I admit, hearing Alternative Rock, the last thing I think is "Steve...

My bassist plays with 2 fingers, and he does alright. But he's not playing Digiorgio speeds. And we aren't necessarily Tech Death. We're more Old School Death Metal. But we take influence from Prog and Tech by having fretless bass and some crazy drum parts. I'd say it depends on what kind of...

I tend to think that Tech Death should be done under the Cynic, Atheist, Death, Cryptopsy, and Gorguts models. Those are what I consider the big 5 of Tech Death - Cynic's prog influences and unique instrumentation with jazz influences, Atheist's crazy usage of guitar riffs against bass rhythms...

Heard it. Pretty good, I prefer it over Necrophagist, but not over Obscura. I might be opening for Obscura on November 22, but I doubt it. I'm a huge fan of 90's production (before triggers were the determining factor in how a band sounded), so I'm usually not that into new bands, but pretty...

Sounds a bit like Naked City, except less weird.

Now THAT'S a package!

@Allfader... There WILL be a re-issue for Individual Thought Patterns. They are re-issuing every Death release. They already did Human and Sound of Perseverance, and they claim ITP is next and going to be out by around September. I think the production was much better on that album, so they...

In response to Steve's semi-rant - Well, I don't know what happened, and frankly, I wasn't alive yet. But I have a feeling it wasn't really anybody's fault. I imagine each musician to think in their own mindset, with small amounts of empathy for other instruments. When you're dealing with...
