He uses the Soundtoys Decapitator plugin (which is amazing and awesome), but if you don’t have it you can create a similar effect using any distortion or saturation plugin on a parallel bus with some EQ.

The “key spikes” technique [w/ Machine + Lamb Of God]

Want ULTIMATE control?? Try this!

The legendary Machine (Lamb Of God, Clutch, Suicide Silence, Fall Out Boy) shows his unique technique of using MIDI “key spikes” to trigger gates, compressors, samples and all kinds of other things in a mix for ultimate control over everything (without relying on the dynamics of the actual sounds themselves)– this one is a GAMECHANGER!

How to use MIDI “key spikes” to trigger gates, compressors, samples & more! w/ Machine the producer

Machine shows his unique technique of using MIDI “key spikes” to trigger gates, compressors, samples and all kinds of other things in a mix for ultimate control over everything (without relying on the dynamics of the actual sounds themselves).

He starts by creating a phase-accurate MIDI notes for EVERY drum hit in the session, then prints that to audio and uses the audio as the input to the various plugins. He demonstrates the key spikes technique using Logic Pro X, but the same general approach should work in any DAW.
