This may not be the most perfect mix in the world (I'm still new to this whole recording thing), but here's my take on the dirty, lo-fi sounds of old school death metal bands from the early 90's.

All drum programming, guitars and bass by me.

Gear used:

Guitar: LTD EC-256
Bass: Squier 5 String J-Bass
Drum Samples: Ugritone Kvlt Drums 2 (slightly modified)
Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen)
DAW: Reaper
Amp Sim (Guitar): ML Sound Labs Amped Roots
Amp Sim (Bass): Amplitube 5
IR Loader (Guitar and Bass): Ugritone Trve Cab

Old School Death Metal Demo

This is the first full song I’ve written after a long hiatus, and is also my first foray into serious music production, as I have recently acquired new music gear. All guitars, bass and drum programming by yours truly. Cheers!

Just another aspiring musician who’s finally jumping into recording and production! I’ve played guitar on and off since my late teens, and now I’m looking to amp up my game (pun intended). While I enjoy various forms of music, I’m a metalhead at heart. My influences include (but aren’t limited to): Black Sabbath, Dio, Candlemass, Type-O-Negative, Municipal Waste, Slayer, Mercyful Fate, Bell Witch, Power Trip, and many, many others.
