“Machine” is one of the rawest, most punishing tracks from Suicide Silence’s second studio album *No Time to Bleed*, and a defining moment in the band’s transition from pure deathcore chaos to a more nuanced, technical sound. The song captures a pivotal time in extreme metal—relentless rhythmic precision, aggressive tonal shaping, and layered vocal intensity—all refined through highly intentional production.
This Nail The Mix session features the actual raw multitracks for “Machine” and gives you access to the original files mixed by Tue Madsen, a powerhouse producer known for his brutally tight and detailed work with Meshuggah, The Haunted, and Dir En Grey. From his Antfarm Studio in Denmark, Madsen delivered a sound that manages to feel both oppressive and surgical, without losing any of the track’s live energy.
The session is packed with technical and creative challenges: ultra-fast, intricately edited drums that still hold onto a human feel, snarling low-tuned guitars with tons of overlap across the spectrum, and multiple vocal layers requiring surgical tone shaping to slot into the mix. Balancing Fredrik Thordendal-style dissonance with vocal clarity isn’t easy, and this is a brutal test of low-end control, transient handling, saturation blending, and use of mid-range EQ to carve separation without killing punch.
Download the multitracks and build your mix from the ground up. If you’re serious about mixing modern deathcore and want real-world insight into achieving chaotic precision without compromising feel, this track delivers everything you could ask for.
