So I recently got hold of my first 8 string, so I figured why not do something weird with it? Starting with this rather overlooked soundtrack from 1992. Y'all need to check it out, it's awesome (and so is the SNES version ;D)

Alien 3 OST
Composed by Matt Furniss
Metal rendition by Danny Greenwood

Alien 3 OST (metal)

I would like to start by saying that I do don't own this music, all rights are with the original owner, Actions [Disbanded]: www.facebook.com/actionsuk

I've stepped out of my comfort zone for the first time in a while and even though this is totally not metal... I absolutely loved it! 
If you love mixing as much as me, then why not try this one out for yourself too,I got the multitracks from www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm and they are 100% free

So I tried to keep this one fairly simply, so nothing really special went into working on this, and I really like how it turned out. 
A touch of Drum editing plus some additional reverb for it (kit was lacking room mics), most of the others tracks have EQ, Compression, Saturation, maybe some more compression on the buses and a handful of blended FX tracks just to polish up vocals

If you'd like to hear me go into more detail about how I get my mixing sounding like this, get in touch
