Joey Sturgis mixes "Broken Statues" by We Came As Romans

Joey Sturgis engineered and mixed this track with his signature modern metal production techniques, blending synthetic elements seamlessly into high-impact core instrumentation. Known for his work on scene-defining albums by Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, and Of Mice & Men, Joey’s style shaped an entire generation of heavy music. Work through this session, and you’ll get insight into how he carved ultra-tight guitar tones, kept the double-kick chaos controlled, and layered massive bus processing without crushing the mix’s depth or space.

“Broken Statues” is a dense multi-track loaded with advanced vocal treatments—doubled unclean patterns, stacked harmonies and auto-tuned cleans that sit right in the pocket—and synths that had to fit around heavily compressed drums and guitars. This is a masterclass in clarity through saturation and knowing when to commit to harder EQ decisions.
