I loved Blitzzz's mix of this, and I planned only to check out what the raw tracks were like, but in the end I couldn't resist having a go at mixing it.
I wanted to dial back on the "exciting" overhyped high-end of most modern metal production styles, so for the guitar sound I mainly used the guitar DIs into Scuffham Amps S-Gear which I bought recently and really like.
But I must admit I find it much harder to mix and master extreme metal than any other music genre... Which is a shame because it's one of my favourite genres.
Here, on reflection, I think the snare is too loud, there's some boxy build-up (bass needs better eq-ing), and probably too much mix buss compression.
Comments/improvement suggestions/your tips for mixing/mastering [in particular] black metal would be very welcome!
