Death Metal anyone? ;)

I heard this awesome Arch Enemy-track while driving around with a metal friend around two years ago. But it's not until today I got the crazy idea to remix it.

www.kavehazizi.com/arch/endoftheline_kavehazizi.mp3

I'm making it just for fun and because it's something different than the usual stuff. Also it's just a (very unfinished) snippet so far, and I don't know if I'll finish it. But thought I could share it for those who might be interested.

random fact: the death grunt is done by a girl (angela gossow), for those who didn't know

Hey dude,
Considering it is an unfinished sampel I will avoid any mixdown comment .
I dont know the original tune, but so far the only thing I assume u added are the drums, it sounds like has potential for to be a nice remix, I like the melodies of the tune, will go to itunes, it has a nice violent vibe .
Kopi =o.

Yeah, I added the drums and additional electric guitars, plus some minor other elements. The difficult part is mainly how to deal with the drums of the original track

thanks for the comment!

Pretty wicked stuff. I am a big metal fan myself and always love to hear electronic metal remixes.
I think you did an awesome job so far. I like the beat a lot, very energetic.
I think its pretty hard to mix a track, especially from this genre without samples, so you deserve big respect from my side.

Tell me when you're done, I'd love to hear a full version of this

nice, not bad... beat matches up well and all. wish you could get rid of the excessive screaming, makes it sound a bit messy.

almost reminds me of some rob zombie stuff... just the fast beat combined with some heavy guitar riffs. a real heavy, gritty bassline would do well here.

thanks for checking it out guys!

cybernetica: nice that it pleases a metal fan =) I'm not one myself to be honest, but I really enjoy the harmonies in this track!

EtherealSL: yeah, a fat bassline would be cool.. there's too much sounds at the moment though ;/ but I might give it a try.

yo, nice industrial stuff.

like the agressive tension this one got.

the guitar sound at 0.58 is massive. would definitely build on this.

nice work.

damn would really like to hear this as a full version!
cool energy, it reminds me a bit of DnB!

Great Work!

thanks, appreciating your comments

maybe I'll work on it a little more when I have time, to improve the sound etc.

Very cool man. I'm actually working on something very similar at the moment. It's gonna be just straight techno tho.

Anywho, everything sounds pretty good. It is a bit cluttered, but theres really not a ton you can do about that. I agree a nice bassline would work well in this. I think especially in that second section it would sound nice.

Keep it up.

Posted by Kaveh on Mar-21-2006 17:41:

tylerc: thanks! looking forward to hear your attempt too =)

several people have suggested to add a better bassline, so I'll try that out later. just afraid it'll drown in all the sounds heh.

Hi Kaveh,

I can't say I expected this from you. It's a far cry from your usual melodic style

I agree about the sound being a bit messy, but as tylerc said there's not a whole lot you can do about that. Metal is imo quite a messy sounding genre anyway so I commend you for giving it a shot and making this track more-or-less as tidy as it could be, considering.

Anyway, it's definitely an interesting idea and good luck with the final result. I have to say I much prefer your usual stuff though - that rocks!

Thanks for listening and commenting mate!

Yeah, don't worry hehe. I'll continue with my usual style, this was just some crazy experimenting =)

Fuck yeah! Rock on, dude! I love metal. Big metal-head. I want to remix Anthrax's "Nobody knows Anything" and you totally inspired me! Good job. Real fun. I like to see someone love all sound and all emotion.

interesting sounds although the voice kind of freaks me out

nice job tho
