Guiding the mix on this Nail The Mix session is heavyweight Danish producer Tue Madsen, best known for his work with Meshuggah, The Haunted, and Behemoth. Tue brings his uniquely aggressive yet detailed mixing philosophy to life in this session, elevating some of deathcore’s rawest source material without cleaning it up to the point of sterility. Working from raw 2007-era multitracks, Tue balances a wall-of-sound arrangement with surgical attention to punch and sonic separation—all while preserving the chaotic energy that defines the style.

This session is rich with real-world challenges you don’t usually get with modern sessions: minimal editing on brutally fast drums, layered gutturals in need of both clarity and aggression, and guitar tracks that require saturation and EQ shaping to prevent tunneling through the mix. Add in the performance energy and minimal room for dynamic tricks, and this is a clinic in mixing heavy music with intensity and precision.
