Hey guys,

Just finished up the mixes for this extremely young thrash band and figured I'd share the single with you guys. There's not a ton of tuning, editing, or sample replacing here, as the band wanted a bit of a more natural, raw vibe. Any feedback I can get from you guys would be awesome! I'm also open to sharing raws if there's enough interest.

Some session notes:

- Kit was a Gretsch natural maple 5-piece with a Pork Pie 14 x 6.5 brass snare. Drums are approximately 33% natural on the close mics, 33% samples taken from the kit at the session, and 33% other miscellaneous samples (Slate 10 on kick, Paramore one-shot on snare, Chimera toms). The snare is blended a little more in favor of the session sample than the Paramore snare, as one shots tend to annoy me if used too much.
- Rhythm tone is a blend of a Splawn Nitro and Mesa Triple Rec into an Orange PPC412. Guitars on one side are a Carvin DC800 with a Crunch Lab in the bridge; the other side is a Gibson SG with Burstbuckers, I believe?
- Leads are an Orange Rockerverb into the same cab.
- Bass is DI split into the a three-track setup (clean low end, grit, and distortion)
- Vocals are Blue Blueberry, except for the spoken section, which was an SM7b.
