From thunderous double kicks to drop-tuned riffs force-fed through power-hungry stacks, metal is a highly specialized style of music that continues to generate new mutations even after nearly four decades of constant shape shifting. Borne on the fist-clenched anthemic drive of monumental early 70’s rock, metal’s grim messages of apocalyptic mayhem are still ingested and reconstituted wherever you can find solid body guitars and copious amounts of electricity. Metal’s basic formula, however, remains constant: extreme music composition and precise execution on massive kit, all captured using intensive recording studio resources. True to its name, Metal: The Ultimate Construction Kit is a fully-formed, meticulously edited collection that leaves no stone unturned. A superb addition to our Premium Collection line of 2CD/24-bit titles, this tortured treasury of sound features seriously gristled guitars and basses, pummeling drums, guttural vocal spasms, and all the mandatory sonic accoutrements of the genre, including flexible drum mixing options that will take you deep into serious metal production. Recorded in one of Vancouver’s premiere studios and performed by hardcore practitioners, Metal is premium grade fuel for ACID software and every DAW that imports WAV files. More than 1.2 gigs of royalty-free music and sound, detailed liner notes and sample information, photos, and an exclusive video all come together in this very special collection. If you feel like your auditory arsenal has gone a little soft, look no further than Metal: The Ultimate Construction Kit.
