Blistering tempos, guttural vocals, low-tuned guitars and a wall of aggressive production—Oceano’s “Mass Produced” from the album *Living Chaos* is deathcore engineered for maximum impact. This track pushes the boundaries of density and dynamics, showcasing the band at their most sonically extreme and refined. The composition is layered with blast beats, atmospheric synthesizers, tightly gated FX, and some of the heaviest breakdowns in their catalog, placing it among the most polished and brutal tracks in the modern deathcore movement.
Mixed by genre-defining producer Joey Sturgis (The Devil Wears Prada, Born of Osiris) and Nick Matzkows, this session is packed with pro-level challenges and production insight. You’ll dive into a mix that demands detailed automation to maintain space and clarity, despite a thick arrangement full of synths, quad-tracked guitars, industrial noise layers, and doubled vocals in multiple registers. Joey’s mix walks a fine line between precision and chaos, with aggressive multiband compression, advanced vocal saturation techniques, and surgical EQ work to carve space without neutering the impact.
Machine-paced kicks, fast double-time transitions, and extremely wide panning decisions create an immersive stereo field, pushing your skills with transient manipulation, gain-staging discipline, and creative parallel processing. Harmonizing the synthetic textures with acoustic instruments offers depth without muddying the low end, and you’ll study how Joey and Nick harness transient shaping tools to preserve aggression even in such a dense arrangement.
Download the multitracks and test yourself against one of the most production-intensive deathcore tracks of recent years—this is a masterclass in mixing raw violence with clarity.
