They finished recording last fall and I've been working on the mix a little bit at a time whenever I can get to it. I'm just getting to the mastering process now and should have a couple of the tunes ready to post for some serious critiquing shortly.
I'm not really that a big a fan of metal (sorry OG), but that being said, these kids have really got their shit together. Definately worth a listen!

This one is called 'Power Overwhelming'
keep in mind, these kids are only 17 years old

Vox that aren't cookie monster parts sound a bit shakey and "held back". Given the age of these guys, I'm sure it will improve.

There wasn't a lot I could do about that. Scotty is only about 4'10 - 90lbs. he's still got a kid's voice, but yeah, the growly vox he aced.
I tried using AutoTune, a bunch of doubling techniques, nothing I tried could fatten up the sound of his voice any without ruining it.
What I ended up doing was just compressing it up to the front of the mix and added a little verb to it.
If you can think of some other trick I could try, I'm all ears dude.
Everything is still loaded in the can and nothing is etched in stone yet.
...and thanks for the nice comments.

This is one of the three ultimate 'punch through a thick mix' metal guitar/vocal comps. In this situation nothing would work better in my opinion.

Also I recorded Scotty's vocals out on the deck facing the ocean. Seemed to get a lot better results than inside. I got some peculiar looks from the (religious) neighbours though as he was screaming at the ocean.

Nice shot...I may have to come down and visit sometime.

Speaker stands are made from 3" ABS plumbing pipe with a toilet flange screwed to a double thick 3/4'plywood top and base. Got that idea out of a recording magazine (cheap, but effective).
