LEATHER WRATH
"Metal Fist"
Single
November 8th, 2024

LEATHER WRATH releases today their debut single "Metal Fist", an exciting traditional heavy metal hymn inspired by mid-80s metal icons and produced in the same style.

The new band is composed of very young and talented musicians getting ready to conquer their space among the great acts of the local metal scene.

The debut single paves the way for the new songs that are being prepared for a larger material expected for 2025, presenting the listeners the band's chosen genre as well as their influences.

The song is available on the main streaming services and the group's Bandcamp profile.

Exactly 2 years ago today, this was Heavytron Studio.
Yep!
Both control and live rooms fit there, now.

There was a lot of sweat (and drywall, insulation, painting, absorbers, cabling, lighting, reading and studying) for the studio to turn into what I wanted: effective sound-wise, and cozy space-wise. Underground bands recording here should feel important (as they are!). They should have a respectful treatment, a pleasant experience, a high-grade audio result inspired by their heroes, and a place they feel comfortable taking photos or videos of the process for their memory (or promotion).

I'm not an heir. It all started with a single board, an M-Audio 2496, back in 2007, so I could use the cheapest copy of Pro Tools I could find then... And I work 2 jobs, 3 periods, study, trade, and build everything I can by myself for this to be possible today.
(Sometimes with a little help from my friends).
And I still pay rent, and probably ever will...

But the studio exists.
It's not perfect, and there's still a lot of work to be done, but I (finally) can watch the result in the bands' releases.
I can finally see the difference it makes.
And it all makes sense!

My values are non-negotiable.
This is no place for f4ac1sm.
This is no place for gospel or country music.
This is no place for "AI" generated content.
This is something made by humans, for humans.
ART is the result. Products are consequences (and means of).

I am really grateful to my wife, for accepting my life moves.
I am really grateful to everyone who has helped my way or trusted my work in all this years.

Born from the ashes (and metallic dust)
of Arthorium Records... (2013-2019)
This is Heavytron Studio 2024 ⚡ (2019-present)..and it's just the beginning...

Expect some 80s hard & heavy with a catchy chorus!

"The little red box that started a revolution"

Reamp v2 with combo input - the last iteration of John Cuniberti's passive reamp box with high-grade audio transformer before he closed a deal with Radial Engineering for the schematic patents use.

This little devilish thing receives a pre-recorded signal in balanced line level ("high" voltage, low impedance) and converts it to a guitar/bass pickup level (low voltage, high impedance) so it can feed a pedal or amplifier, just like if it was being played at that same instant. It was meant for guitars/basses, but can be used with anything that works in line-levels, like keyboards, samplers or any recordings coming out of an audio interface output. Many possibilities, huh?

Last weekend ⚡
September 27th/28th, 2024
Working & celebrating the launching of the beautiful official music video/single "Nothing Lasts Forever '24" by the amazing guys of Creatures! I had the privilege to record most of the song here, as well as mixing and mastering.

Love these guys! We had a great time selecting the best drum takes for the new album, tracking the very first vocals (though we need a few more sessions), having a couple of beers and talking about heavy metal.
I'm very fortunate indeed.

If you haven't watched the video yet, head to the band profile, look for the link to YouTube and watch it!

In a few weeks we start tracking the bass lines for the album.
Looking forward to it! ⚡

Working on the mix for Espectro's upcoming EP.
I usually mix at night, and I love working under these low warm lights.
