Terry is a great mixer, and producer as well. He's done some amazing records in his time, and this new unearth is sonically superior to the previous album. Coolest guy on the planet too, which is always a bonus.

Alexi · 21st September 2006

......and producer.......sorry i forgot.........but i havent had the pleasure to work with him yet.....and prolly' will never have

.

greetings to y'all..

i thought unearth's last album had an AMAZINGLY powerful sound. gave me chills at times.

deathman · 21st September 2006

I love the sound of the new album! And the songs are ALL great!...

I wish i could find a procedure of the recording too...
... Terry Date... where are you?

gm5k · 21st September 2006

they always have such sweet dueling guitar solos...

bobx · 21st September 2006

great band, and a great record. unearth has always been one of my favorite bands.

Alexi · 27th October 2006

...just in case sanybody is still interested i found some videos of unearth in the studio:

DontLetMeDrown · 27th October 2006

I preferred the sound of the first album. The second one is very raw and [imo] lacks the production that made the first one great. The songs are good, but my honest opinion is that the mixing is very average and "flavor-less" for lack of a better word. Sounds like Terry's goal was to make them sound like every other metal band.

danranges · 27th October 2006

It sounds incredible, but my only gripe is that it would've been better titled "The Oncoming Storm... Again".

Production-wise, i love it.

drundall · 27th October 2006

yeah, I'm a huge Terry Date fan and wasn't impressed with the production or mix of this album.

jonboyrock · 27th October 2006

why do they just film themselves and each other rubbing their dicks?

Maybe they really should just **** each other and get it over with?

Methlab · 27th October 2006

I talked to their singer about this record.

Drums were tracked with no edits. Mistakes were left in. The songs were not recorded to a click.

pigpen · 27th October 2006

Somehow have never heard Unearth....but I love Terry so I just may go get it to hear his work.
Thanks for this

he's a very uber producer.

exactly what i was thinking.

Recycled_Brains · 27th October 2006

i am also a HUGE fan of Terry Date's work, but the production is pretty dissapointing honestly. it sounds good, but not different from many other recordings for that genre.

the music itself is really typical and generic.... boring stuff. that whole new wave of "metalcore", or whatever they call it, is very formulaic. but that's just my opinion.

anyways. i'll go back to listening to "Heartwork" by Carcass.

Interesting. On the first track I could swear I was hearing mis-triggers on the kick. I guess I know what it is now.

madcowvt · 31st January 2007

I have to bring this thread back to life.

All of Terry's work is great but I want to hear this record BEFORE it was mastered.
I really want to know if there were any dynamics to begin with. This thing is table topped off pretty bad.

Now that its been out for awhile... any other thoughts...

DeathMonkey · 31st January 2007

I love the guitar sound - I use VHTs as well. Crushing, live.

johnjm22 · 31st January 2007

Terry is an awsome engineer. I remember the first time I heard "Around the Fur," it changed the way I listened to recordings. ***I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM AS A GUEST MOD!!***

The thing I like most about TD's work is his ability to get a unique sound for every band he does. His productions always sound "Fresh," IMO.

As for the new Unearth record, I'm pretty sure the band wanted it sound like that. If Terry was able to covey the bands' sonic vision, then he did his job.

haha true true.

treymonfauntre · 31st January 2007

did somebody in this thread seriously say the oncoming storm was their first album?
anyway, this crap is boring. them and misery signals seemed like they might do something good with their bands, since they're both down to earth and don't wear makeup and had been in good bands before, but they've both just gone numetal.

Nu-metal? I think not.

The Oncoming Storm was a good record. Some wicked guitar playing on that album.

the guys in the band are drawing well from coast to coast for their live shows and know how to rip it...

I also heard the guitarist "ken" has a quality working studio in the Boston Area
