New Single - The Writing on the Wall

[Trevoire]

Can someone save the audio from this somewhere in case it gets taken down? I've got something cool I could do with it but I'm at work.

Instrumental version of TWOTW:

You can hear the guitar licks under the chorus better.

Edit: in the outro sounds like Janick is playing all the little melodies.

2 different guitarists for sure. Completely different sound. H plays a noiseless single coil with less drive and Jan plays his Strat with JB jnr's with more drive.

Completely different touch too. Also, it seems like H's licks are a lot more quiet on this version.

 

[Shavasku]

The song is stuck in my head for 6 days already.

Started as 6/10 because of the bad mixing of Bruce vocals on youtube, then 7/10 on spotify with decent mixing and now 8/10. Clearly a grower.

Great song.

It might have to do with my equipment but the mix is bad even in the spotify version. All their albums with Kevin seem to be off soundwise

Sounds great with what I have, even in my SUV

How did this guy manage to delete the vocals??

The Spotify version sounded really good to me.

 

[Yax]

I think there's been an inflation of the phrase "poor mix" when it actually means "not to my taste" or "not perfect".

 

[Poto]

The Spotify version sounded really good to me.

Sounded really good when I listened with my headphones. Better than TBOS.

 

[Yax]

There are a lot of poor productions out there. This isn't one.

 

[Poto]

I really like how Steve sounds.

BRUCE DICKINSON: How RAMMSTEIN Influenced IRON MAIDEN's New Video

IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson has admitted to U.K.'s Kerrang! magazine that he drew inspiration from German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN for the animated video for MAIDEN's new single "The Writing On The Wall". "I said to Rod [Smallwood, MAIDEN manager], 'Have you seen the video for...

Rammstein has always had the best videos and Deutschland is absolutely stunning as videos go.

I don't think Maiden benefit from the muddy sound they get from Kevin. I think they need the clean mix and bright sound of e.g FOTD

Insert jokes here, but I’d be really interested to hear a Bob Rock or Andy Sneap produced Maiden album.

 

[chaosapiant]

I never want to hear a Sneap Maiden record. The only producer aside from Shirley that might work is Steve Albini. He seems to be good at catching a live/dry sound.

The live/dry sound is exactly what I don’t want to hear from Maiden. Give me something closer to the SIT / SSOASS sound any day of the week.

I agree, I love the live/dry sound as well! Samesies!

I'd like to see them work with somebody like Arthur Rizk.
