New site? Maybe some day.
|
So...
Boarcorpse wants to record a demo finally, and we aren't sure what studios in the area are good for the brand of technical death metal that we are into. Have any of you recorded a metal record in the area and had it sound real good? Or if you know a band that recorded somewhere in the area and it came out well? Either way, we wanna try and find someplace that we can book time in by the beginning of Feb. If you do have someplace you could recommend we would love to hear examples of recordings done there. Thanks in advance for all your help. |
|
What's your budget looking like? |
|
well, we only wanna do two songs right now, but we want them to sound fantastic.... so moneys not REALLY an issue. |
|
do you guys have a vocalist yet? |
|
Eliot from Composted might be interested. He did the Composted CD and it's fucking amazing. His Myspace URL is www.myspace.com/blendermethod if you want to drop him a line and see if something can work out. |
|
Oh yeah, I forgot you can't go on Myspace at work...his email is blendermethod AT gmail DOT com. |
|
Can't forget that part, haha. |
|
yes we do have a vocalist. It's the same dude from ouch. But before we let him try for Boarcorpse we told him: No rapping, No yelly-half screams. We want low lows, and high witch-scream highs, and growls in the middle. And that's all he does. He's fucking perfect. Me and the other two members are astonished at how good he is, and how well he's adapted to the newer style. It's puts a smile on my face, I am FINALLY in a band that i would go see play. I love the music we are doing now, and he does a fantastic job pulling it together with the vocals.
As far as elliot is concerned, i will shoot the email to him right now. Are there any other examples besides the composted cd that he's done? And can i hook up with you to get a copy of the cd so i can hear it? I could download, but i wanna hear the sound quality of the actual cd. |
|
I have a copy you can hear. |
|
There's actually a newer mix, Damon. PM me your address and I'll send a copy over, Jim. |
|
according to wikipedia, arsis recorded their new album at planet z studios in massachusetts? where the hell is that? |
|
western mass...springfield maybe |
|
I think Planet Z is in Western Mass. |
|
you can't afford it. don't even think about it lolz.
|
|
|
you can't afford it. don't even think about it lolz.
|
and why do you say that? |
|
Dude who owns it is Zeuss...BIG name in the metal/hardcore recording industry. |
|
fair enough, i still don't think anyone else can tell me what we can afford. |
|
Holy cow! a band who takes themselves seriously, AND who is excited to be playing the music they are?! What a nerve those assholes have! It's almost like they think they don't suck! Don't they know that they are way too short on scene points to be acting that way? |
|
oh jim, so easy to troll. The man was probably just about to type and then contracted ebola. It happens.
I also just wanted to add
***LORD ZEUSS**** (crackle) (thunderbolt) (thunderbolt)
I'm having a fun day at work. |
|
my lack of scene points caused me to go bankrupt |
|
wow. Damon, just because i respond to duchebags doesn't make me lame for being easy to troll. I have the right to point out duchebaggery no matter the circumstance, and i will continue to do it, no matter WHAT the internet "scene" thinks. K? |
|
|
my lack of scene points caused me to go bankrupt |
Yeah, i am in the red myself. |
|
|
fair enough, i still don't think anyone else can tell me what we can afford. |
Well considering the only people that have recorded there are nuclear blast or larger label then that. I really doubt you have $10,000+ sitting around to record a demo. |
|
Mudskipper studioes in Arlington, MA. Awesome quality, and only 50 bucks a song. Check out our recording done with him:
http://www.myspace.com/thesummoned
He's improved since recording us too. If you go with him tell him Greg from The Summoned sent you. |
|
thanks immortal.
..And if 10grand is for 2 songs, then your right. We would not spend that much. But if that would be for 8 or 9 songs, then we actually might consider doing 2 there. I think at this point we would save for a couple months so that we can get a real good representation of the stuff. But obviously if we could do it for a reasonable price, that would be preferable.....
Archaeon - do you have any recommendations? |
|
For you guys, I'd say go with Eliot. He gets it.
Archaeon and Parasitic Extirpation both did our EP's at The Breaking Studios. Ryan does great work for a great price but the dude is really busy and already has 2 other projects he's going to be working on. |
|
Just do it for free - do it yourselves! |
|
|
Just do it for free - do it yourselves! |
well that is the plan long-term. We are purchasing equipment to do recordings ourselves, and to help with the writting process, but we are ready to start playing shows, and wanna have something that sounds good to start distributing. |
|
Well i've sent elliot an email. So we'll see what he says.
Narky- Can you listen to the link from the "immortal13" guys post? I can't myspace. I wanna see how it is. |
|
Download our album for free. I don't care haha. just google search The Summoned Harvest and you'll find it. |
|
Just sayin' man. If it's a 2 song demo and if you wanted to save a few pennies, find a good/cheap way to record it and then pay someone to mix & master or do it yourselves. There's just a few options because it'd only be two songs.But with the sound you're going for, I've heard that Eliot guy is good |
|
I've been pushing the self-recording angle myself, but... that might take a while to get going. |
|
Oh, and its pointless for me to listen to anything right now, it'd be going through a 1" mac speaker.
Any opinions on Ken Susi/Damage? |
|
Narky-
You say "I've been pushing" as if THE ENTIRE BAND isn't totally behind that idea. When in reality, we were going to buy it weeks ago, until you decided that since i wanted to own it in the long run, you weren't going to throw down in the beginning. If you had chipped in like we originally talked about, we would have it now. And i would still wanna go somewhere for two songs, because i feel like it would take us a while to get good enough with the program to do something worth promoting ourselves with. And we've been told that drums are not something you do yourself for something your going to distribute. |
|
Damage is way too expensive, in my opinion. But, I don't know how much he'd charge for a demo. Problem is, you'll have the same sound the other bands he's recorded have. Don't get me wrong, he's not bad, but I can always tell when I'm listening to one of his albums. |
|
And now i am downloading the summoned cd. So we can check it out on my stereo. |
|
I really don't like the sound of anything I've heard Susi do.
Including the Porphyria EP...sorry duders. Just the production, not the performance. |
|
Yeah, i am not really a fan of the susi stuff. |
|
I don't know if you guys would be down his wheelhouse so to speak, and he is a little steep, but Jay Maas does a hell of a job.
http://www.myspace.com/psboston the songs "I Got A Fever" and "Peggy Getting Stabbed"
Those songs were recordedin....I wanna say 2006....and he's improved since then. |
|
Narky- Can you DL this stuff^^^ to listen to tomorrow? ^^^ |
|
zeuss did shadow's fall's last 3 albums, hatebreed's last 2 albums i think, god forbid. forgot who else. does not mean you can not afford it.
the hold true stuff sounds ok.
ken susi sucks. porphyria did not get what they payed for and ION sounds very low budget too.
that dinkus adam d. from killswitch has a studio in western mass that makes stuff sound good.
some people like steve austin some people don't.
god city. i have liked most everything out of there.
If you have lots of money just hire Matt Bayles. |
|
godcity only records bands that they first "endorse" aka people who know converge |
|
jay maas at the getaway group does a great job. he's also done work at god city, so that might possibly be an in there. |
|
I used to practice right next to godcity in norwood. I sat outside in the Norwood commerce center and listened to Isis record "Mosquito control", Year of our lords "Frozen Divide". I definitely like Godcity stuff, maybe i will try and contact them.
Josh- Do you know how to contact Adam D. from Killswitch/Overcast? I like their recordings too. And we don't have LOTS of money, but we will pay what we have to for a couple songs to sound great. |
|
DREWBLOOD: do you know how to contact Jay Maas? |
|
and again, I really do appreciate all the suggestions. |
|
yep, what is your e-mail, i'll send you his phone #
|
|
DAMAGE STUDIOS, pete does awesome work and he can come to you...did a shit ton of awesome quality cds for us and also work on a few unearth songs and seemless stuff...he's in fitchburg...and hes real good and reasonable. PLUS hsi entire studio walls are covered with porn pics ripped out of magazines. |
|
I'd say Jay Maas (the Getaway Group). Dude does so much with what he has. My indie band recorded with him and he did an awesome job. I was suprised @ how he adapted to make us sound like we wanted. He told me he got a bunch of new equipment since then so he's even better now. |
|
check your e-mail! also, mosquito control is fucking great. |
|
nice. you guys rock. I will contact all these people today... and yes, Moquito Control was one of the best sludgy records (ep) ever.
.....you, would look so, MAG-Nificent
crawling, on those, BLOODY KNEES!
the swarm, staggers to the wound
their speed, only matched by their efficiency!!! |
|
have contacted Mike D.... now i will sent something to Jay mass and see whats up with him. |
|
now i have spoken to Jay mass, and Elliot. Whom i dig. |
|
Jim, I'll be hooking you up with the Composted CD on Monday since I didn't get a chance to get to the post office. |
|
that said, I'm not totally sure how DM would go down there. |
|
well I appreciate the recomendation anyways, i need to wait until later to check it due to my works myspace blocker. |
|
To hear more recent Mudskipper recordings, look up Micheal Fights the Dragon on myspace. Very metalcore, but it sounds awesome. |
