Steve Evetts mixes "One of Us is the Killer" by Dillinger Escape Plan

Behind the board is Steve Evetts, the trusted architect of Dillinger’s sound since their early days. Known for his work with The Cure, Sepultura, and Every Time I Die, Evetts brings an aggressive, organic mixing style to one of the most complicated and demanding bands in modern heavy music. His pursuit of energy and dynamics, while retaining absolute technical control, makes this mix a revealing study in audio problem-solving and creative vision.

Technically, this session is dense: polyrhythms everywhere, unrelenting tempo shifts, wide spectrum chaos. Real drum performances calling for intricate editing without sterilizing energy. Guitars with unique midrange focus that can easily take over a mix if not wrangled properly. Vocals shifting between terrifying screams and delicate falsetto mid-section, demanding nuanced automation and compression strategies. There is serious work to be done balancing aggressive saturation with mix clarity and depth—everything fights for attention and yet must remain cohesive.
