I was just listening to Resurrection Through Carnage(perfect), and wondering how you(Dan) got such an awesome drum sound. Is it triggered? If so, what triggers and module did you use? If not, what mics and techniques were used?

I think he uses a tecnique called total awesomeness, something I've never tried but I've heard it's supposed to be really good.

Can't buy that at your local guitar center!

Cerebus · February 4th, 2004, 09:15 AM

Damn right!

Akronaes · February 4th, 2004, 03:36 PM

New sig material, ahoy!

Exsanguis · February 4th, 2004, 04:29 PM

You guys are hysterical, and really helpful.

Demilich · February 4th, 2004, 10:53 PM

Right from the first time I heard Ressurection Through Carnage, I knew it was my favourite drum sound on any album ever. It's so perfect and crazy

Dan > world

Dan Swanö · February 5th, 2004, 05:08 AM

Come on guys!!!! The drumsound on that album was meant to sound BAD!!!!! I wanted it to reek of old 80's death metal recordings, and I guess I failed???
It was recorded this way...I programmed all the drums to use when we recorded the rael tkes of guitars, bass and vocals. Then I erased all the programming except for the bassdrum!! I tuned up (or tuned down) a 15.000$ Premier Signia kit with Paiste Signature cymbals (and some incredibly junky hihat cymbals that was broken beyond belief) and miked it all up. I played everything but the bassdrums to a clicktrack. When I came home I realized that I didn't played it tight enough so I cut up all the snareparts in recycle and quantized the audio and then I rerecorded all the cymbals!!!

!

btw, Dan, I saw Katatonia yesterday, in Tampere

It was totally awesome and magic; and they played truckloads of old songs, aswell as all the great stuff from Viva Emptiness. And on saturday I´ll see them again

But I haven´t dared to speak to them yet, maybe next time.

It was so bad that it was great! I'm guessing you guys tried a bit too hard to make it sound bad, but that's me.

Now tell me, HOW MUCH ARE THOSE NIGHTINGALE SHIRTS?!!

Way to go Dan, even when you try to sound bad you can't do it!
I just love how powerful the drumsound is, it sounds different than most of the other Death Metal bands I listen to.

Exsanguis · February 5th, 2004, 04:08 PM

Are you saying that the kick sound that I hear is from a drum machine? WHICH ONE?!?!?!?

Dan Swanö · February 6th, 2004, 03:08 AM

The kick sound is the classic "Spiked" from Alesis D4, used on 70% of all my productions in the 90's. The only working triggerkicksound from that machine...
The shirt prices vary depending on the postage and stuff, but a shirt costs 200 skr without shipping and that in dollars today is around 35 USD. It could have costed less but I wanted it to look stunning and stunning costs money...

ColdDarkNord · February 6th, 2004, 03:33 AM

200 SKR ~ 27$ ~ 22E

This shirts is really great, very good quality! One of the best in my (trust me!) very big collection!

Kevin Kitchel · February 6th, 2004, 01:20 PM

I think the drums have that rigid sound that you were going for, Dan! Pure D4!

Ivanhoe · February 6th, 2004, 06:25 PM

I'm more interested in how the guitar tone was made...

Protected Witness · February 7th, 2004, 12:24 AM

There's gotta be a fuzz pedal in there somewhere on those guitars...

Staffan · February 7th, 2004, 07:19 AM

Actually the drumsound keeps me away from that record

Or some really bad cabs! haha they sound like they can't take it! But it gives it that unique oldschool swedish sound

Exsanguis · February 7th, 2004, 02:09 PM

Yeah I love all of the sounds on that CD. They may not be the cleanest, but everything about it just exudes that oldschool, yet modern vibe. One of my favorite death metal CD's that has come out in a really really long time.

The Grand Design · February 8th, 2004, 03:55 AM

Yeah it sounded brutal as fuck, yet still accessible. I love every second of that album.

Akronaes · February 9th, 2004, 02:52 PM

I heard they used 5 string guitars tuned to A or something like that... I could be wrong though.

mattcira · February 9th, 2004, 04:12 PM

Mine got lost in the mail

Oh well, my mucles are soooo big, I'd have to tear the sleeeves off any way!
