Hi dudes,
Just checking in, hope you're all ready for xmas!!!
Another cover for you that I have painstakingly attempted to recreate in all its glory this month. This one is from the In flames Colony era and is definitely one of my favourite instrumentals of all time. Did my best to get some authentic tones, which did my nut in but I’m proud of the result, and of course, you can never sleep easy if you haven’t tried to work to the best of your abilities!

A brief breakdown for you, but feel free to ask any questions:
All tracked/mixed/”mastered” in my little home studio.
Guitars: Schecter Loomis with the stock EMG’s tuned up to C standard. 5150 with Marshall cab mic’d with 2 SM57’s on a Celestion V30. Green channel boosted with a touch of TS.
Acoustic Guitars: Taylor 114CE acoustic guitar I bought this month, which is beautiful sounding in the room but always difficult to translate that to “tape”, especially in a “dead” space. A single SM81 was imported to mic it, around the 14th fret.
Bass: Lakland with Ampeg SVX for cleans, and a hint of 5150 for some nastiness. Heavily compressed and slightly decapitated.
Drums: A long time was spent listening to each hit through the record, they were programmed in Cubase and mixed with SSD drums which were slightly augmented with some other samples of mine.
Hope you enjoy, it was a fun project As always, your comments are really appreciated as there is always room for improvement.
Cheers,
~Kev
