Alpha Wolf continues to dominate the modern metalcore landscape with their album Half Living Things. The featured track Haunter represents the peak of their sonic identity by combining nu-metal bounce with terrifyingly heavy production. At the controls is Lance Prenc, the producer and engineer arguably responsible for defining the Australian heavy sound. His work with bands like Polaris and Thornhill set a new standard for clarity and aggression within the scene.
This session offers a rare look into how Prenc engineers his signature wall of sound. You will navigate a dense arrangement filled with glitchy FX, industrial textures, and whammy-pedal dissonance that fights for frequency space. The primary challenge involves managing the extreme low-end energy of the guitars while ensuring the bass guitar locks in rather than muddies the sub frequencies. You will also see how Prenc processes drums to achieve his distinctively punchy transients that cut through even the most saturated mix bus chains.
The vocal production is equally complex and requires careful compression and EQ to seat the aggressive screams within the instrumental chaos. Downloading these multitracks gives you the opportunity to practice advanced gain staging, hard clipping techniques, and bus compression strategies essential for achieving competitive loudness in the genre. This is your chance to see exactly how a top-tier metal mixer balances raw aggression with technical precision.
