I'm hugely in love with the sound of this bass and pedal as a combination - so much clarity, aggression and power. I recorded the main riff from "Icarus Lives!" and overlaid it over the album track to demonstrate.

Dingwall Afterburner ABXXX + Darkglass B7K test

Slightly Black Dahlia-style mix to test out the Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickup I just installed in the bridge of my Blackmachine B2. Wanted to get some of that organic squishyness BDM got on Deflorate.

Here's the Axe-FX patch for anyone interested: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/790683/DoubleDM%20Nolly.syx

There is a moderate amount of post-EQ on the guitar tracks though.

Death Metal mix

Hi guys,

This is a new mix of mine, I decided to do a cover of a couple of riffs from 7 Horns 7 Eyes' track "Vindicator" as it features one of my all-time favourite mixes.

Obviously the musical content is not my work, if you like this please go support the band. They have just released their EP "Convalescence" and will be putting their album out soon on Century Media Records. The original track can be heard here:

http://soundcloud.com/basickrecords/vindicator

I'm using my brand new custom ViK Duality 7 string, which is a phenomenal guitar in every respect. The pickups are custom made by Vik himself. The guitar tone is courtesy of the Axe-FX Ultra, using the 5150 amp model for rhythm and the USA Lead 2 amp model for leads, all with stock cab IRs. Drums are Superior 2.0 (Mostly the "Evil Drums" expansion), and the bass track is Trillian.

7 Horns 7 Eyes - Vindicator cover

Here's a very repetitive clip of the Bare Knuckle Emerald bridge pickup I now have installed in my Dæmoness Cimmerian 7-string. I absolutely love this pickup! Tight like a ceramic pickup, but much smoother in the extreme highs, super clear, and sounds huge!
This is only double-tracked by the way. The equipment is the usual Axe-FX/Toontrack/Trilian.

Got inspired while giving my Dæmoness some TLC earlier. Love how brutally aggressive this guitar sounds.

Brutal Modulation Idea

This is a brief test with a custom Alnico V Black Hawk 7 bridge pickup installed into my Dæmoness 7-string. It's pretty much the purriest pickup I've ever heard! I'm planning on repeating the same clip with a ceramic Black Hawk 7 to compare the two magnet types. 

This zip file contains the guitar DIs for both the Alnico and Ceramic Black Hawk, along with a drum and bass backing track so you can evaluate the pickups through your own rig of choice and hear them in context.

Alnico Black Hawk 7 test (DI's and backing track included in description)

This is a brief test with the Ceramic Black Hawk 7 bridge pickup installed into my Dæmoness 7-string, in comparison with the custom Alnico V version demonstrated in this clip: http://soundcloud.com/nolly/alnico-black-hawk-7-test

To my ears, the comparison exemplifies the difference in character when moving between an Alnico V and Ceramic magnet - the Ceramic is distinctly tighter and more refined with a brighter top end, where the Alnico V is richer and bigger sounding, with more of what I describe as "purr".

Ceramic Black Hawk 7 test (DI's and backing track included in description)

Made a new mix from scratch this afternoon, came out sounding kinda Killswitch-y.

KsE - Take This Oath cover

I started this cover a couple of weeks back and thought it'd be a good occasion to try out Slate's VTM tape emulator on the master chain. If anyone would like to do vocals for this I'd be up for finishing off the rest of the track.

Here's the same thing without VTM - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/790683/KsE%20Numbered%20Days.mp3

Slate VTM test (KsE - Numbered Days)

It's been a while since I last used S2.0's default Avatar kit for the bulk of a drum mix, so I thought I'd revisit it and see what I can do with it now. Everything you're hearing is Avatar, except for some kick augmentation courtesy of LSD drums - (http://lsddrums.bigcartel.com/)

Toontrack S2.0 Avatar SDX test

Really enjoying the set of Bare Knuckle Apaches installed in my Strat at the moment. Amazingly rich classic strat tone. This is just some random noodlage, excuse the playing

I mixed and mastered Athura's album "A Hand In Death's Design" earlier this year. Here's one of the tracks, "For We Were Many". Their album is available through their BandCamp page at  www.athura.bandcamp.com

Jimi Tenor feat. Tom of Finland - Helliä Tunteita (Tender Feelings)

Here's the same MIDI as the Metal Foundry test, this time using Metal Machine so people can hear the differences between the kits. Metal Machine is a lot more polished to my ears, and is of course partly processed to begin with.
I used the Ludwig kit, with the Black Beauty snare and default cymbals.

Metal Machine Test (Meshuggah-Electric Red)

This is a single I produced, mixed and mastered for UK metal/hardcore band Ruin (https://www.facebook.com/RUINuk).

Mixing instruments tuned this low presents some difficulties but I'm very happy with how this turned out :)

Messing around with the B7K in Fat mode, with one of the Dingwalls. Sounds so good! Ignore the playing it was just a one-taker to demonstrate the tone, my fingerstyle really isn't that great haha

As soon as I heard the massive-sounding snares in Toontrack's new Rock Solid EZX (recorded by Randy Staub) I wanted to try them in a heavy mix context. I made this drum mix based around that idea, blending my favourite kit elements from the Avatar, Metal Machine and Metal Foundry packs in there too.

Hi guys,
Here's a quick mix done with a new guitar tone I dialled in with the firmware 9.01 update. It's the first riff from my band Periphery's song "Racecar".

Here's a clip of the new firmware 10 for Axe-FX II, it starts out vaguely serious then gets silly. I think the new firmware sounds great though!
I used my ViK Duality 7 for guitars, Dingwall Afterburner for bass. Drums are Toontrack Metal Machine with NO processing, literally just loaded up the default kit and left it as is.

Accidentally (Axe II FW 10 test)

Tosin is in town so I figured I would do a quick test with his guitar!
I am using an 8 string to it's complete capacity.
One string used on the TAM 100, except for the leads which are on one string as well and going through a Dunlop Carbon Copy which is oh so sweet!
