“Flag Of The Beast” is a defining moment in Emmure’s evolution––a surgically heavy cut from their 2017 album *Look At Yourself* that captures the raw, uncompromising intensity that set a new standard for modern metalcore production. This track isn’t just another breakdown-fueled banger. It’s a meticulously crafted balancing act between sonic brutality and clinical precision, translated into one of the most aggressive and cutthroat-sounding mixes in Emmure’s discography.
At the helm are WZRD BLD (a.k.a. Drew Fulk) and Jeff Dunne, two of the most technically proficient mixers in modern metal production. Fulk’s work with acts like Motionless In White and Ice Nine Kills is known for its aggressive clarity and low-end control. Dunne, whose credits include Chelsea Grin and Knocked Loose, has built his reputation on capturing chaos without compromising articulation. This session is an ideal deep dive into how they manage saturation stacking, transient enhancement, multiband limiting, and stereo imaging to mold some of the heaviest captured tones into a mix that slams harder than it should have any right to.
Expect complex kick and snare automation across an unrelenting performance, rapid-fire edits on locked-down guitars without crushing their tone, massively parallel distorted vocal processing, and multiple roundtrip blend stages that deliver depth beneath the aggression.
Download the multitracks and find out what it takes to mix modern metalcore at its most extreme. Whether you’re dialing in brutal guitars or learning how to sculpt a bass tone that cuts through dropped tunings, this session is packed with real-world techniques you’ll use in every aggressive mix that follows.
