In this video, I mix a cover of Emperor’s “Inno A Satana” from start to finish. This was originally done as a livestream, but this version has been edited down into a cleaner VOD with the annoying bits removed and timestamps added so you can jump through the full mixing process more easily. The goal of this mix is not to make classic black metal sound polished, sterile, or modern in the wrong way. The goal is to keep the raw black metal atmosphere intact while still creating a mix that feels massive, aggressive, clear, and powerful. In this black metal mixing tutorial, I go through the full mix process including drums, guitars, bass, atmosphere, balance, EQ, compression, space, and final mix decisions. I’m also using Raw Black Metal Kit and SVARTRUNA to show how the right starting point can make a huge difference, even when the actual mix decisions are based on simple fundamentals.
