Headwound Harry - XXXV (M&F)

[dcp10200]

It is hardcore metal and shouldn't sound like a jazz record.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(music)
"The effects alter the instrument sound by clipping the signal"

I'm not going to tone down what's already in the danger zone of sound.. I'm hoping it tears your ears off on a song like this, with no apologies.

You have a point, it's not supposed to be clean sounding. You nailed rawness but the power isn't there in the mix, it's not making me headband or ripping my ears off, it's putting me to sleep. The mix sounds like its coming through a cell phone speaker rather than a huge band PA System loud enough to kill your ears and liquefy your insides. Ironically you've made a modern metal mix sound like a 1930's Jazz record .

A bad choice of words when I said clipping. What I'm talking about is the distortion you've used is fizzy sounding and is softening the impact of your mix, what once was a sledgehammer is now a feather pillow.
