Deceptively simple (and brilliant!)
Welcome to Metal Mix Hall Of Fame, where Eyal Levi deconstructs important metal songs from a songwriting and mixing perspective with the goal of helping you level up your next song!
SLIPKNOT “Psychosocial” | Metal Mix Hall Of Fame
Slipknot’s “Psychosocial” is one of the most important metal songs of all time, and an absolute masterpiece of arrangement, with a deceptively simple mix that brings all the subtle details to life.
In this episode he deconstructs Slipknot’s “Psychosocial” from their 2008 album “All Hope Is Gone.”
While there are a million smart details in Slipknot’s “Psychosocial” that you can learn from, perhaps the biggest one is how Joey Jordison’s drumming is used as an arrangement tool that creates the massive and brilliant buildup that leads into “THE RIFF.”
