Blending heavy guitar riffs with southern grit, “Home Team” by Lakeview redefines the boundaries between country and metal. This track captures the genre-fusing swagger of Lakeview’s signature sound with a mix that punches as hard as it soars. Pulled from their self-titled release, “Home Team” takes emotionally charged melodies and beefs them up with down-tuned guitars, aggressive drum programming, layered harmonies, and hard-hitting production.
Mixed by Jonathan Roach (owner of Skylab Studio and known for his work in both country rock and modern heavy production), this session is a must-study for mixers pushing stylistic limits. Roach’s approach bridges trap-inspired rhythmic energy, polished metal aesthetics, and pop-level vocal layering, making “Home Team” a uniquely challenging—and rewarding—mix to study.
The multitracks bring high-register vocal stacks, intricately programmed drums mixed with live-room detail, severely detuned rhythm guitars, synth bass, banjo textures, and dense FX routing together into one complex session. Advanced mixers will have to manage the width and saturation without losing headroom, carve space between traditionally clashing elements like 808s and distorted guitars, and maintain pressure without crushing dynamic range. Vocal placement is especially surgical here, with pitch-corrected doubles, filtered harmonics, and timed tuning artifacts that need precision to retain their attitude.
Download the multitracks for “Home Team” to get inside a fully hybrid country-metal production. This session provides an ideal playground if you’re looking to deepen your chops in genre fusion, level balance, transient control, and vocal-forward mix strategies—within a modern, mainstream-ready mix framework.
