Mastering Bob Katz Digital Domain Three Grammy-winning albums · AES Fellow
Mixes were sent to Bob Katz at Digital Domain in Florida — one of the most respected mastering engineers in the business. He has mastered three Grammy-winning albums, wrote Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science — the standard textbook on the subject — devised the K-System metering standard, and was technical supervisor at Chesky Records.
Very fast technical riffs cut against infectious slow and medium-speed crunching parts. Double-kick-littered drums fuelling the assault from guitars and bass. Rapid vocals over the technical passages, heavy and thick through the slower sections.

Dark Days was formed in 1993 by two brothers out of Seal Beach — Mike on vocals, Robert on lead guitar. The years since have gone into building a blend of cutting-edge death metal, and into finding the players who can carry it.
The lineup filled out with Haywood Payne on drums, Alex Obradovic on guitar and Steve Thomas on bass. We've shared stages with Deicide, Immolation, Malevolent Creation, Broken Hope and Dying Fetus, and played the Milwaukee Metal Fest and the Los Angeles Metal Fest.
