Unboxing Opeth “Heir Apparent” raw multi-tracks

This is the definition of “epic”!

This month on Nail The Mix we’ve got Jens Bogren mixing “Heir Apparent” by Opeth, and let me just say that it’s truly an honor and a pleasure to dig through this massive beast and get an up-close look at all the insane little details that make it so special.

Opeth “Heir Apparent” raw multi-tracks [UNBOXING]

Opeth ‘s “Heir Apparent” session mixed by Jens Bogren is RIDICULOUS!! It has layers and layers of guitars, vocals, synths, effects, and some of the most incredible natural metal drums you’ll ever hear. Eyal Levi takes you on a guided tour of this jaw-dropping session in Pro Tools.

Layers and layers of guitars, e-bow, synths, percussion… this song has EVERYTHING in it, and every single note is played perfectly and engineered with insanely meticulous attention to detail… seriously jaw-dropping!

Even if you’re not a fan of the band, holy crap – you NEED to watch this. It’s a master class in tracking, engineering, songwriting and arrangement… you could study this session for weeks and find something new every time!
