Holdswoth/ Mayhem


Couldn't resist these. If you've ever heard Holdsworth playing live in Japan on Youtube, you'd know how fat & smooth his tone was. It took a live release like this one for me to really like his tone. So much clarity in the overall music as well. One of the best live productions I've come across. Mayhem's Grand Declaration of War was re-released late last year with one-up mastering especially for the drums. The percussive tones are more upfront with a bolder bottom end push. Due to the hectic festive delivery schedule, it didn't make its way here before the year ended. It missed January as well but it's here now.
