“BORN FROM PAIN” by Jesse Zuretti is a full-throttle display of what Zuretti calls Argent Metal — a hybrid of progressive metal, modern orchestration, and cinematic layering that sidesteps cliché to push the genre into new territory. Pulled from the concept album *Argent Shock*, this track layers dense orchestrations over syncopated guitars and programmed brutality without losing punch or clarity. It’s not just metal — it’s maximalism with purpose.
Engineered and mixed by George Lever (Loathe, Sleep Token, Monuments), this Nail The Mix session pulls back the curtain on one of heavy music’s most creative voices and introduces the extreme precision Lever brings to his work. This track presented George with a massive network of problems to solve: midrange-heavy orchestral textures that needed harmonic balance against quad-tracked guitars and intricate drum programming with multiple reverb layers per hit. Vocals were heavily effect-laden and nested within multi-bus chains. There’s serious automation across the entire spectrum, an imposing low end that somehow never gets smeary, and meticulously carved saturation that enhances tone without congesting the mix.
If you’re serious about learning to manage complex arrangements while building impactful, emotionally charged mixes, download these multitracks. This session is a deep dive into non-traditional mix architecture, aggressive dynamic sculpting, and mixing for atmosphere without sacrificing heaviness. “BORN FROM PAIN” demonstrates how texture, chaos, and clean mix translation can coexist — making it a perfect track to challenge your skills and build new ones.
