Dying Fetus: The Milkboy Session

Brutal death metal overlords DYING FETUS have unveiled a mini-doc about the band’s songwriting and recording processes. Filmed at MilkBoy Studios in Philadelphia, PA in 2017 upon the release of Wrong One To Fuck With, the band chronicled the re-recording of their classic track “One Shot, One Kill” with Swedish Producer/Engineer Mattias Nilsson. The video features interviews, a new “One Shot, One Kill” performance, and behind-the-scenes footage.

I WAS AT THAT SHOW IN ATLANTA!!!!!!!! I’m an OLD metalhead, and these guys have always been a cut above in skill and brains. This is so cool. I’ve sold my soul and went corporate, became a senior exec, and STILL BLAST THIS SONG IN MY OFFICE. Fun part is seeing people that want to tell me to turn it down, but won’t. Looks like these guys have a LONG time left in them. Seeing this, I especially cannot wait for them to come back to Atlanta. Imagine the material that they’re going to have after this bullshit mass hysteria is over.

I think what the studio was trying to do was make everything each instrument played discernible.

Yeah I'm sure the people who wrote the song don't know better than you, random youtuber.

[@2005ttr125]

@eVo 7 holy fuck they squashed the shit out of this mix! Insane amount of distortion on the vox... and good god what horrendous EQ did they put on the guitar tones, where's the fucking BALLS?! It's a trebly, brick walled crushed to shit mix, does absolutely no justice to the song and the musicians who performed it...

[@CarcPazu]

It's not necessarily a bad thing. It sounds different from the original, different drummer and vocalists. The prod is clearer and each instruments is defined.

[@nickDOTbloc]

documentary was cool but the production quality of the song is pretty bad.. loud static on the vocals and overall sounds flat

Yea, I feel the same. The guitars are really thin sounding. Not the awesome, chunky guitar sound I associate with Fetus.

[@pietandersen6120]

Id wager that these people are just lazy if they cant get the story from the instrumental, or at the very least listen to shit music if their ears arent trained to do so. Also, Id wager that they are liars, because chances are they listen to stuff with the most meaningless lyrics on earthqnd enjoy it just as much as the stuff with.

Fãs mais ortodoxos não vão gostar pq são cabeçudos demais pra perceber que o death metal é isso, ver uma banda como o Dying Fetus regravando um de seus maiores clássicos é bom demais, mostra que os caras não estão morrendo e nem presos à paradigmas obsoletos do "manual do metaleiro" da década de 1990. #oneshot#onekill

cool vid but the new version of the song sounds terrible, like a raw demo.

[@kinggg376]

Im sure its just the raw mix

[@BitwigCraft]

About time we get some raw sounds and mixes back into metal. The overproduced modern metal sound isn't that fitting, considering the angry nature of the music and since 90% of the albums today sound very similar. That said, this one here doesn't sound very raw to me at all. Looks like multiple takes as well, instead of full session recordings. That would make it really raw.

[@heresjohnny999]

@@BitwigCraft you misunderstood me. i didn't mean raw as in old school sounding, it sounds like a demo before production, amateurish.

Best death metal band to ever exist

[@stevederp9801]

Here’s the thing about recording today. 10-15 years ago the recording peaked out in capabilities. Both with film and audio. The problem is that the industry of recording equipment and film began to have a problem where they had gone past what the human eye and ear needed to recreate the sound or vision. Meaning that as cameras got more detailed and crisp. It was beyond what the human eye would naturally see in the world. The same thing goes for audio recording. The details they were getting were beyond what a human ear would naturally pick up at a live performance. The result is a very thin overly detailed sound. Movies with frame rates and details that make the view uncomfortable. Yes it might look good but it doesn’t mean it feels natural watching it. Yes it’s a superior recording. That doesn’t mean I enjoy the way it sounds. The other issue has actually been music technology. See 20-30 years ago amplifiers didn’t have anywhere near the amount of distortion that they have now. Which was good because the microphone and recording naturally added distortion which for death metal made it sound even better. However the new breed of amplifier while sounding amazing when playing them sound awful when they’re recorded especially with new microphones which capture the wrong details from the audio signal. The same goes for drums. Drums in real life sound very wide and funny sounding. When recorded they tighten up that sound and become more compressed. Well when companies like DW and Pearl started making thicker drums that naturally had that tight compressed sound. The result was an overly compressed and tight sound. This was a big reason why analog reel to reel recording sounds better despite it being a technology from the 1940s. Or vinyl sounding far better than digital recordings.

The hi hat is ear piercing! Dying Fetus is all about the snare for me that is lost. I don´t think they are going to record here an album and if they do they will bring somebody else to do it, it will again sound "right".

[@ElliWoelfin]

I really do appreciate Trey's comment on going for political neutrality. There are bands I love but find really hard to enjoy due to their shoving their politics into everything. Obviously some bands are specifically about the political message, but it can really suck enjoyment out (especially when so many are just insulting you). Secondary point, the re-recording sounds fantastic. Older death metal can get really gritty in a negative way; the polish improves it so much with them.

@@heifehen6222 they stated in a video made during recording that they were very proud of the fact that they tracked their own guitars (and drums?) for wrong one. so the producer just mixed together what they gave him and recorded vocals instead of overseeing the whole project like he most likely did on reign supreme.
