About This Session
“365” by Amaranthe is a masterclass in high-impact hybrid metal production, blending technical aggression with polished pop sensibility. As the lead single from their 2018 album *Helix*, this track captures Amaranthe’s signature formula of triple vocal layering, synth-driven orchestrations, and riff-focused guitar work with the precision of a surgical strike. Designed for maximum clarity at full intensity, “365” is a challenge in balancing modern metal aesthetics with hyper-detailed vocal and electronic production.
Mixed by the legendary Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, this session offers a deep dive into the techniques of one of melodic metal’s most consistently powerful finishers. Jacob is best known for his work with Volbeat, Arch Enemy, and Epica, and here he takes on the stacked multitracks of Amaranthe’s genre-bending composition. His approach showcases advanced routing strategies, strategic saturation to maintain cohesion across tonal layers, and mix decisions that carve out separation in a densely populated frequency spectrum.
Technically, there’s a lot to unpack: complex drum edits, intricate automation across the lead synth elements, wide vocal imaging, and the challenge of mixing vocals that run from harsh to clean within a second. Managing impact without burying melodic movement is central to this mix. You’ll learn a lot about modern loudness, managing brightness without harshness, and crafting punch without overcompression.
Download the multitracks for “365” to challenge your workflow and execute a clean, cutting-edge mix within a dense arrangement. If you’re serious about modern metal mixing, this one pushes every corner of your skill set.
