Check out our latest single, "Warrior of the Kunts." This was written in the year 2005. We recorded this song for the slavging album Zalanboor Sonic Cult in 🇨🇦 in 2012, but it was not released due to unforeseen circumstances. We were unable to revive this song, so we had to record it again in Saudi 🇸🇦 in 2025. It is finally out. The song is a tribute to Sander (22/5/1979-2014), one of the band's first guitarists who believed in our vision for Zalanboor. The song was originally only two minutes long, but Sander and Litham added parts and extended it. This song had previously been recorded in a low-quality format in many different versions. Sander would have been delighted to see this latest version. Rest peacefully, brother ✊

We would like to thank everyone who took part and contributed to this release. Thank you to the following people:

💣 Thank you, Sander and Litham, for your contributions.
💣 Gh'ramm @gomma_owlficial from 🇹🇳 recorded the bass, adjusted the tempo, and joined our band while at it 😅
💣 @jude13jd made our lives difficult by convincing us to change the song's tempo and re-record it from the beginning. Thank you; we weren't expecting such excellent results. Litham already despises me for it 😅.
💣 Thanks @evilofmankind for providing the backup vocals.
💣 IMPALER for backing vocals
💣 All wacko mates—15 of them or so, screaming like maniacs during the wild intro.
💣 @metalpunkapocalypse introduced us to the sound engineer.
💣 Thanks to @osamaalshannaf for the awsome artwork, and thanks to Litham's final touches.
💣 Special thanks to Benjamin @earuption_studios , our sound engineer who provided unlimited revisions, and apologies for annoying you constantly. 💥💣Ⓐ𓃶🜏

Kudos to @cruelforceofficial for an awesome sounding record, sounds huge! Every band should try incorporating room sounds in their music, it can make the difference between good and great, either on drums, guitars or even sometimes on bass! #recordingengineer #mixingengineer #oldschoolmetal #thrashmetal #cruelforce by @earuption_studios

I know you’re guilty, I’m too 😒🤓 Three changes you can make to your immediately instead of the new, shiny amp 🎸 #mixingengineer #guitarrecording #guitaramps #oldschoolmetal #marshallamps by @earuption_studios

Going over the mix of a song again and again?
Here are 3 things you can change instantly:

1. Take Breaks
Set a timer for every hour of work. Step away from your mix, take a short walk, or do something around the house. Giving your ears and brain time to reset helps you return with a more accurate sense of balance and perspective.

2. Use References Correctly
Use reference tracks as a guide, not a target you blindly chase. Focus on overall balance, tonal character, and energy rather than trying to match every detail exactly.

3. Improve Your Room
Even the best speakers can’t overcome poor acoustics. A modest setup in a well-treated room will outperform high-end gear in an untreated space. Invest in your listening environment first. #Masteringengineer #mixingtips #oldschoolmetal #classicrockmusic #mixingengineer by @earuption_studios

Andreas from @oathdoom about working with me on their first full length Unteach. It was a pleasure to work with you and what came out is a crazy good sabbath-worshipping doom record! Out on streaming platforms and tape and also on Cd soon! #masteringengineer #oldschoolmetal #doommetal #mixingengineer by @earuption_studios

Fed up with endless trail and error in front of the cabinet, tinkering around with amp settings and microphone positions? Send me a DM, your guitar DI tracks and let’s work on the tones your release deserves!

Played my Folkesson modded Marshall here, no pedals, just an SM57 and the first try of my new Grossmann Iso Cab with an old, cheap Celestion speaker I had laying around. Guitar recording hasn’t to be difficult.
