Steve Shalaty Immolation - Studio Sneak Preview 10/30/09

[jgejerrit]

I could listen to this video every day and not get tired of it. The album is great, but the drums don't sound like this. Listen to both back to back. It's not just the sounds, whatever sampling the engineer did makes Steve's playing seem sloppy and you can CLEARLY see it's not, even when it's just practice.

I can only guess that when combined with the rest of the band this didn't come through clearly. At least, I hope they didn't screw with this amazing sound for no good reason.

[burns01]

Love his style, what hats does he use ? Someone ?

Thnaks !

[TheLordmarckus]

wow!!!!very sick!!!!

pa la cagá!!!!

[bloozdies]

FUCK TRIGGERS

[alxsickeninghorror66]

master!!!....

[Pastilance]

2:30 amazing!

[mmurrer]

holy shit man! Nile, Immolation and Krisiun on the same fucking concert!!!!

[kpmorgan]

@mmurrer

Actually it was not that great. Immolation only got to play 6 songs. There is no way that Nile should have been opening up for Immolation.....That is a fucking joke!

[doublehammered]

no hi-hat clutch ???

[MrGziss]

very kool!!!

[kraastopher]

He's a good drummer, but be loses a lot of power when he starts blast beating - especially when he goes for singles on the toms.

[shamoan420]

F*ckin Sic!

[GevatterGierhals]

i really like his style

[blanker666]

no more questions - unhuman precision ... holy FUCK !!!

[svingolle]

Dawn of possession is the only Immolation album youll ever need!!!

[ConnorDonegan]

I saw Immolaton with Nile in February.,.. Wow! They blew me away. And, Steve is such a tight drummer. It's unbelievable! I feel like a dick though, because when I was at their merch table, I asked how much it was for their new CD. Their guitarist (who is amazing) said "$15". I had like $10 on me and I blurted out "Damn, that's expensive". I could see the hate in their eyes lol... I feel like such a jerk but whatever, they rule!

[BiorythmicDrifter]

I agree with one post that stated he upped his game on this one, I still miss Craig's style, he is still my favorite Immolation drummer. Alex did his best work on Unholy Cult (classic). Overall Immolation are still a vital force in heavy music and for that they have my eternal respect.

[peartisgod]

So creative I love it. I love the sound of those chinas..

[MetalShin0bi]

Yeah, I bought this as soon as it hit iTunes and I love my choice of purchase. It's saaweeeeet!

[raptormanx]

Good God, man..........HIT THE DRUMS!

[warpedwiselegoman]

how many symbols do you NEED MAN,MY GOD!

great album,even with the ridiculous amount of symbols ;P

[fastdrummer1977]

The new Immolation is the best album EVER, not just from Immolation but from the Death metal community, all of you are going to get your butts kicked!!!LOL!!!! Get the album when it comes out in March, 12 songs of awesomeness and heaviness, and please don't download!!!!!! Cya Christian Easley drummer guy and Fan!!!!!

[animelover102]

i saw this with nile on the 10th there awesme

[scernos]

I remember when Immolation came through oregon on the tour that alex left just before hand and thinking shit.. but after seeing how Steve did such an excellent job I prefer him in Immolation then Alex. Watching Alex live on some other videos on here and you can see why steve is so essential to Immolation. His got the control and speed. Just listen to the new record Majesty and Decay.. best album of their career in my opinion!

[MINIWHEAT70]

I was at the 15th show in Maryland at Sonar. Sick as fuck. Immolation ripped it up! Steve is an amazing drummer. I'm glad I know what Immolation are up to. That show was actually the first I've heard of Immolation- never listened to them before. I think its better to not hear a band and then go to a live show, hear them, and instantly become a fan and support them! Thanks for the load sickdrummerdotcom! Sick website ya'll have too!

No Jesus, No Beast!

[overcontrol]

Nick Barker Much Better Yeah fuck

[MINIWHEAT70]

@overcontrol, Dude, why dude you keep posting these on videos?

I swear I saw this on another vid!

[StrangerAeon]

hi steve..sounds awesome..can't wait to see you guys in Rome

[dawnofpossession91]

seeing them jan. 15th. enough said.

[fastdrummer1977]

Ross and the gang see you on Jan 20 in cleveland, take care, cleveland OHIO, be there or be immolated, LOL...

Christian Easley

Chaos Weaver 89 Steve was in Immolation in 2003 I weas with Ross at a show in NC, also D R was to posiibly play drume for them, just as long as we keep death metal alive that is the BIG picture...

[noratrooper]

this will be the greatest Immolation release ever! seem like it will contain all original style of them plus fukking great production! Can't wait!!!!!!

[maqprus]

Great drummer and great band! Cant wait for the album!

[doineedoneofthese81]

yes indeed. Steve is an awesome drummer. check his old band Odious Sanction. the drums are even crazier.....

[diziamonddave]

One of the most underrated bands ever. always sick as fuck. i not a fan of real produced stuff but their shit slays everytime. They should be the headliner no doubt.

[DrFaustus314]

2:21 sounds great

[Wheretheslimelive]

Sounds reeeeeally fucking great, can't wait to hear the finished product. It's torture to have to wait until march to hear this! People should stfu about the fact that it's not alex drumming anymore, bob is the one writting most of the drum patterns anyways and steve does a killer job. Hope they come to canada soon after that nile/krisiun tour!

[MyAlex124]

nice set man

[HigherCoward]

KILLER!!!!

[fastdrummer1977]

Thanks for the support of one of the most logest running bands in the history of Death Metal!!!!!!!!!

Cheers, Christian Easley Drummer GUY!!!!

[fastdrummer1977]

If everyone misses Alex so much, track him down and take him out for lunch, I am sure that he would appreciate it...In 2003, Steve joined Immolation and has kept it going since, that was almost 7 years ago, check your Death Metal history please!!!!! Steve looks like Sean Reinart on steroids on this video, and the with every Immolation they FUCKING crush, show some respect, they have been doing this since 1989, how many of you have the Immolation DEMO with the song Immolation on it???

[DiscerningForces]

Totally fucking agree!!!!

[Chaosweaver89]

Steve joined in 2005. Check YOUR death metal history.

[DJsodomizer]

@fastdrummer1977

I agree 100%. I'm sure Steve palm-faces himself every time he hears the name Alex Hernandez.

[saltfeces]

the new album of nile has brought the best tour ever. with the best Death Metal bands.

[DD8081]

Hes pretty good, and his beard is sick too

[nicksantana93]

yeah they should have Sick Beards videos too!! hahaha ....man i love immolation theyr great

[DagonMetalMusic]

fuck yeah!

[valgalder]

sick of people complaining he is not Alex... video rules.

[AbsoluteJake]

Ya, I used to miss Alex's drum work a lot. But Steve really has upped his game for this next album, and I think they both are just as good for Immolation. Good work Steve!

[mrcl21708]

@AbsoluteJake 100percent agree

[predathor696]

hes good but nobody else creates sick fills better than alex hernande!!! wonder where he is now...

[JerichBlakk]

this production will be better then eVer!! I M M O L A T I O N !!!!!

[djabthrash]

Promising stuff !

[DrFaustus314]

I really hope that Nuclear Blast will not infect the Immolation production like with Suffocation and Nile...

[guitarwizard6]

This sounds like a mandatory purchase! It's nice to hear acoustic drums instead of triggers.

[MrBlastBeast]

@guitarwizard6 I can almost guarantee you won't hear those sounds on the album. Like on almost every metal record they will be edited and replaced by better sounding samples afterwards. (;

[kpmorgan]

@MrBlastBeast - actually you are wrong because those sounds are on the album. If I were you I wouldn't guarantee anything that you have evidence for you stupid mind fuck!

[MrBlastBeast]

@kpmorgan No reason to become insulting here, I said "almost", as sound replacing is done in 99% of all metal records, so chances are high that it's done here as well. And btw I don't see you having any evidence, you're just throwing in a contrary claim. If you came with any quotes from the actual drummer or so, I would accept that and shut up. But as long as you think discussions are made of claims and insults, you should really consider who's "the mind fuck" here. Cheers.

[kpmorgan]

@MrBlastBeast - This bands that sound as good live as they do in studio and I have seen them plenty of times so I am going based on what I hear between live shows over the years and how the final tracks are laid down. if you watched the video on the production of the new album you can see hear the differences with just the template beats initially laid down by Vigna and then what Steve did with them. You are a mind fuck because you are making a claim "Like on almost every metal record"....

[kpmorgan]

@MrBlastBeast continuing.........How do you know "like on almost every metal record"? What samples are you referring to? Be more specific since you know that 99% of metal records do this. What bands? What records? What was replaced with what samples? Oh and don't cheers me you Bag of shit!

[MrBlastBeast]

@kpmorgan My claim is supported by the knowledge of serveral metal drummers I know that have recording experience. Same goes with our studio guy who has recorded/[co]produced serveral metal bands, for example Atrocity, Belphegor and Primal Fear. They all tell me what I told you about sampling sounds: It's done with 99% of all metal records. Just fucking deal with it. Besides I also listenend to a lot of metal records. I watch studio reports and listen to the actualfinished songs. Big difference.

[MrBlastBeast]

@kpmorgan The sound I am hearing in the studio is just not the sound that I hear on the cd. The faster the bands go, the more needs to be done with editing and sampling. I think I have talked to more people knowing about this than you. I just know what is going on. So you may have a point, ok, maybe this band doesn't sample their drum sounds. So what? Nevertheless, loads of other metal bands DO IT! Deal with it and just chill out, there's still no need at all to become insulting here.

[jackmarasmus]

@kpmorgan mostly all drums these days are drum replaced,or samples of real drums, so when you record and you play your drumset they can drum relpace everything let me say this once more (drum replacement) cause most metal drummers cant aford a badass 5- $10,000, drum kit so we sound replace, first your flubbing feet on kick drum so we dont half to here you play the whole song again,and replace the snare hits so yeah 99% of drumms today are not totally truthful.

[eclips2112]

AMAZING new material !!! Cannot wait !!!

Spring 2010 is now eternity.,,

[andrijadm]

Fuck Yeah Immolation!!! The Best Death Metal Band In The History Of Death Metal!!! Death Metal Rules!!!! IMMOLATION KINGS OF DEATH METAL!!! IMMOLATION RULES

[MetalDrummer09]
