let me know what you think. the 3 songs were recorded in 5 hours.
another metal guitar tip is to put a fan in front of you while you play, so it blows your stupid long hair around like the solo is BLOWING YOU AWAY because you're a fucking tool.

I like the songs, reminds me a bit of Unsane. The production sounds slick, though the levels sound a little uneven in places. I could stand to hear more bass in Body Bag, more vocals and less synth (or whatever that tone is) in Serpico.

Overall it sounds good and I like the songs. What kind of setup did you use for recording/mixing?

thanks for the feedback! we used protools (not a fan) fed by some outboard pres. it was mixed on a high end tascam console (don't remember the model).

we recorded it here:

i like the production, but i wish it was more "dirty" sounding.

thanks again for your feedback.

The production does sound a bit more "slick" than I would expect from the musical style, but it doesn't sound bad. The guitars actually sound pretty right on, to my ear. I could use a bit more grit and punch to the bass tone and some more room sound on the drums. That's purely my taste though, good job.
