After all my folk stuff I needed that.Especially the fuck the system part - my various bosses have been doing my head in for at least the last 20 years.I would probably break a few limbs to that if you played that in my local.Great riproaring vocals by the way and not all so (as is popular) incoherent in as much as that what you need to shout at the 'dancefloor' as your head approaches it is very catchy and memorable.Productionwise FIRST CLASS

I noticed you use my favorite drum loops, BetaMonkey's Double Bass Mania. I love those things, and they are included on the song I'm currently working on. I don't find your overall production to be quite clear enough for my tastes, but it does fit in quite well with the production of much of today's extreme metal styles. I'm not a huge fan of screaming, but you do it better than a lot of signed bands do. I can actually understand what you're saying, and you change it up a bit. I recently saw Lamb of God in concert. Their singer screamed the same damn note for an hour, and I couldn't understand a word he said. Your guitar tone is heavy as fuck, and your song structure and arrangement manage to keep things interesting. Well done.

I love hearing metal on MacJams. There is simply not enough of it around here. Sweet riffs as always.

although i am not a big fan of the sredding razorblade vox, this production is fantastic. your mix is top shelf... you have got to give me pointers

The production is part cool and part incoherent as the fat sound on the drums and the guitar is great but the only words I could make out were 'Fuck the system.' The lead, as always, is blazing.

Since I couldn't make out the words too well, I don't know if this is covered already but content-wise, fuck the system is too inclusive. I'd much rather it were more pointed as in 'fuck the Republican leadership that steals your money and kills your children' and 'fuck the weak-minded sheep who believe their bullshit' and 'fuck Christian imperialism disguised as patriotism' and blah, blah...

Anyway, super-fat production on the guitar / drums - made for a massive sound. Cool.

Yeah! Out of freakin control. Great axe work. Slammin' leads. In and out fast. Direct and to the point.

Awesomely clean mix for something so crazy heavy. I basically agree with alanfraser's comment, but I'm really digging this mix. Excellent work Ronnielong.

Great production!
It is always such a challenge for me to keep "attitude" and have a great delivery when you are wearing all the hats in the studio like the recording engineer, producer, musician, and songwriter. I always want my songs to sound intense, but it usually gets watered down in the mix.
You manage to deliver this song with true metal ferociousness and top notch production values. Nice work, man. (Pops the top on a NewCastle and takes a swig.)

Hey RonnieLong,

I really like your guitar tone.
What kind of setup are you running your Jackson guitar on.
It is direct input with software, or is it through a preamp (Line6 Pod)?
