Deuteronomium report diário de studio | mixagem do álbum

STUDIO DIARY – MIXING THE ALBUM
DAY 12 Friday, May 6, 2011
The last mixing day, three more songs to go, all of which are Miika’s compositions. Last night we got the last files for these songs. They were some narrative parts, done by Mark Broomhead, the bass player of Seventh Angel. This way we got a real, native british accent to the narrations instead of our own finnish “rally english” accent. There’s also an interesting aspect in this since the album lyrics are based on a book written by an english priest four centuries ago, and also Mark happens to be, not only english, but also a priest!

The first song we mixed today was album’s opening track, an aggressive death/thrash piece called Soul Sickness. Next one was a mid-tempo death metal song titled Sun and Moon. There’s a real “flight of the bumblebee” guitar solo by Kalle in it, followed by Miika’s only guitar solo on the album. The ending of Miika’s solo has got some AC/DC -feeling.

Last one to mix is also the last track on the album. The Bells Are Ringing is a pretty fast death/thrash song with tight riffing. There was also the trickiest part to mix – Mark’s narration in this song was quite challenging to get in balance with the music. Some parts of it come with music, when some parts come w/o music, and all of it should be heard well, sounding as natural as possible. In the end Arttu got it sounding very good, so we’re happy! The Wizard of Watercastle made great work, once again!

Now we’ve finished mixings of the album, so next step will be mastering it. We haven’t decided the place yet, and most likely we’ll ask for test mastering for a couple of songs from a few places before making the final decision.
