For this Nail The Mix session, legendary mix engineer Jens Bogren takes you inside his mix of the original studio tracks. Known for his work with Opeth, Devin Townsend, and Arch Enemy (at Fascination Street Studios), Jens is internationally respected for bringing clarity and emotion to dense, multi-layered arrangements, especially within progressive and extreme metal.

Technically, this session is as challenging as it is rewarding. The multitracks feature stacked synths and ambient elements competing with hyper-tight guitars, intricately programmed percussion, and one of the most dynamic vocal performances in the band’s discography. Jens had to find space for each layer without sacrificing the track’s overall intensity. From phase management on overlapping guitar mics to automating vocal FX in real-time at bar-level precision, this mix is a clinic in high-end production principles. Expect unconventional reverb chains, parallel saturation on the low end, and surgical midrange EQ to control mix build-up under high RMS density.

Download the multitracks and dive deep into one of the most ambitious prog metal mixes ever released. Whether you’re into sculpting sonics or learning how to manage complex harmonic ecosystems, this session delivers.
