Slayer - South of Heaven (Remixed and Remastered)

Why doesn’t all metal music sound like this? This sounds pure

The perfect remix doesn’t exi...

One of the most menacing and terrifying intro riffs, God I miss these guys already 😢

Simply great. Slayer's entire catalogue needs the Ahdy treatment.

It became a tradition over 15 years ago...... New Years Eve at midnight we listen to this loud. It both cleanses and inspires.

FUCKIIIIINGGGG SLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

Leper Messiah - Metallica PLEASE?!?!?!

jesus christ if i ever need a producer for an album for my band i know who to call...

My two cents: The opening notes are immediately bolstered by a stronger bass presence. Now, Arya's bass notes are audible alongside the rhythm guitars, instead of sounding far behind them. The second guitar sounds louder, as well, is panned closer to the center. All sound fuller, richer. Sound carries a bit more, in general, especially with the pinch harmonics (0:26, 0:32, 0:35) right before the drums. This applies to the crash cymbal (0:40), from Lombardo, but also the rest of his kit. By comparison, it sounded punchy and stiff, in the original mix. Not here. Now, his toms (0:41) pound and boom, thundering into the void. The snare is less of a metallic kettle, and more of a generous smack, elevated by an even-thicker kick drum. When the first verse starts, the kick stomps alongside the down-stroked guitars. Here, it's less of a thin stamp; it really rumbles. Arya's vocals sound like they have a small amount of reverb (1:05), but nothing distracting. It adds to the feeling of the vocals being surrounded by a storm of instruments. After the verse, the harmonized refrain repeats. Here, the kick drum doesn't stick out, like in the original. Instead, I can hear the guitars, the bass, and the entire kit, not simply the kick (those toms at 1:27-1:29 sound great). This includes the section with the slow guitars (1:30). Here, the instruments have a bit more dimension to them—like a cloud, but with thickness and layers to it, full of thunder and lightning that permeates the entire mass. After a flurry of toms by Lombardo, the vocals resume. Here, the reverb is more noticeable; however, the vocals would sound strange if they stayed flat and the drums did not. The hi-hat has been softened, and the guitars really dominate the section, overall. The guitar whine (2:00) is a little louder, and also has some reverb to give it space. I really like the balance between the guitars and the drums, here. The toms at 2:06 weren't audible in the original; here, they not only are, but share the space nicely with the guitar dive-bomb. The harmonized trills sit comfortably on top, no longer threatened by Lombardo's drums. At the same time, the drums are hardly quiet; they really fill out the bottom end while still managing to be heard. So does Arya's bass, which contributes audibly as well (2:28). I especially love how clearly he can be heard, during the chorus. The emphasis is where it needs to be, but more of the band can be heard, all the same. Speaking of emphasis, the rhythm guitars during the solo sound marvelous! They're the same guitars, just beefier. They thrash alongside a conveyor of bouncing toms (equally meaty). The soloist actually has something to solo over, now. I love how audible the whammy-bar is, especially at 3:26. It doesn't disappear behind Arya's vocals; it plays alongside them. The soloist (on the right) and the wailing refrain (on the left) are the devil and angel sitting on Arya's shoulders. Absolutely brilliant. You've really enhanced a key factor of the original song: the "voices" surrounding the vocalist amid the sonic chaos, of being south of heaven. Things close out with a second solo; the qualities mentioned before apply. Solid balance between the soloist, the rhythm and the drums. The volume, the panning—it's Goldilocks. Awesome work! This is one of your recent best (though I'm a huge Slayer fan, so perhaps that's the bias talking)! You have a talent for rescuing the bass without sacrificing the other instruments. Lombardo sounds awesome, as do Hanneman and King. The whole experience gels. I'd love to hear "Black Magic" get the Ahdy treatment. However, if ever an album needed your help, it's Hell Awaits (the ambitious, break-neck music is marred by strangely dense guitars and tinsel-y drums). In fact, if you did "At Dawn They Sleep," "Necrophiliac," or "Crypts of Eternity," I'd probably die from joy!

Mayhem - Freezing Moon or Death - Spirit Crusher!!

Is it just me or this remixed sound so much better than the studio release ?

You should SERIOUSLY do a Remixed and Remastered version of either Spirit in Black or Blood Red (both by Slayer of course)

This mix sounds significantly better! The reverb on the toms alone make a huge difference. Gives the overall sound a lot darker.

damn, this remaster is my favorite. This is an absolute masterpiece. After this i cant hear the original anymore.

Fuck, the drums sound amazing! The bass and reverb/concert hall effects really add also. I always felt this is how every heavy metal bands drums should sound in production and how big every metal bands sounds should sound. Perfect!!!! Hell I can even hear some of Kerry's whammying in the background that Ive never heard before

if i didnt have spotify premium id just use your channel

i think something from Among the living or Bonded by blood could use some love, maybe Indians or Piranha? if done properly the intros (specifically the drums) could be so awesome and as expected amazing work

Damn, I remember that old "Sex. Murder. Art." shirt like it was yesterday.

Thanks bro from Malaysia.. Hell yeahh...🤘

Pls do harvester of sorrow :)
