Tue Madsen is a legendary producer, mixer, and engineer known for shaping the sound of modern metal and hardcore. Hailing from Denmark, Tue has spent over two decades working with some of the heaviest and most influential bands in the world. His credits include Meshuggah, The Haunted, Suicide Silence, Heaven Shall Burn, Sick of It All, Mnemic, BabyMetal, and many more. With a style that blends raw aggression and surgical precision, Tue has become a cornerstone of the international heavy music scene.

He is the founder of Antfarm Studio, a facility just outside Aarhus that has become a destination for bands who want their music to sound huge without losing character. Tue’s mixes are known for their clarity and punch, often balancing dense, chaotic arrangements with a surprising sense of space and depth. Whether he’s working on death metal, metalcore, groove metal, or hardcore punk, his goal is always the same: make it hit hard, make it feel real, and make it last.

Tue’s journey into production began like many others—with a love for music and a curiosity about how records are made. Starting in the 90s, he worked with local Danish bands, quickly developing a reputation for his ear, work ethic, and no-nonsense approach in the studio. Word of his skills spread fast, and soon he was working with some of the most respected names in heavy music across Europe and the U.S.

What sets Tue apart is his ability to bring both technical mastery and emotional impact to every project. He’s a problem solver and a perfectionist, but he never lets the process overshadow the music. He understands that the best productions come from capturing the energy of a performance, not just polishing it after the fact. That’s why so many artists return to him album after album—they trust him to get it right without losing the soul of the song.

Tue is also known for being incredibly collaborative. He listens closely to the band’s vision and brings his own deep experience to the table to guide the project forward. He’s not afraid to challenge ideas, suggest changes, or rethink an arrangement if it means making the record stronger. At the same time, he’s respectful of the artist’s intent and always focused on bringing out the best version of their sound.

His influence extends beyond the control room. Tue has played a major role in defining what heavy music sounds like in the 21st century. His work has helped bands evolve, reach new audiences, and create some of the most memorable records in the genre. He’s also inspired a generation of engineers and producers to approach metal with both creativity and discipline.

Whether he’s working with legends or emerging artists, Tue Madsen brings intensity, clarity, and purpose to every project. He’s not just making records—he’s helping shape the future of heavy music, one crushing mix at a time.
