Lawrence Mackrory (Obsidian Studio), known for his work with acts like Orbit Culture, Katatonia, and F.K.Ü., handled the mix, delivering a refined yet aggressive sound that doesn’t sacrifice punch for polish. His approach showcases deep experience with metal’s most chaotic elements: extreme drum programming locked tight with frenetic riffing, snarling mids balanced across multiple guitar layers, and vocals that cut through without overpowering the instrumentation.

This Nail the Mix session dives into real problem-solving territory. You’ll deal with overlapping frequency ranges in quad-tracked guitars, intricate kick and snare relationships under fast double bass patterns, and creative uses of saturation and transient shaping to bring forward key mix elements. Shields-style snarls combined with layered backing vocals present additional complexities in managing spatial aesthetics and warmth in the midrange without fogging out other instrumentation.

Download the multitracks to “Zombie Inferno” and get under the hood of a dense, modern death metal mix. If you’re into powerful low-end control, crafting harmonic-rich grit, and keeping clarity under extreme dynamic pressures, this session has real tools you’ll use project after project.
