Mac Cameron @mackenziecmrn.bsky.social · 13hNot the whole shebang here, but I do think that most musician’s existences are antithetical to these people’s…and removing those musicians from the music makes it so people like this guy never have to encounter songs or art made by someone who hates them. 120

![So you feel like your overall job changes on metal records as compared to, say, an indie pop record?
[Indie pop productions] require more insight as to the song and the lyrics and what kind of feeling the songwriter's trying to invoke. When you're recording a metal band, you know what feeling they're trying to evoke. [laughs] You just think, "Satan, Satan, Satan." When you're EQ'ing the bass guitar you're like "Satan, Satan, Satan." The snare drum - "Satan, Satan." It's more the technical challenge of, "How do I achieve the maximum amount of Satan?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htlqv6psotktl7u3sw2fm5me/bafkreib5rj36jvpp66qv3bgxhz4eodtdlst4k5vaofixcthw5cqwxq27xe)
