I cant believe I found this. I had been playing drums for 3.5 years at this point, the band was 1 year old. The music was all recorded in 1 evening, the vocals the next. It was recorded on a stage, like a live show. There are no punch ins for me, everything is straight through, mistakes are there, no clicks/triggers/effects, just me and drums:
Takeaways:
Everything sounds awful. The ride cymbal is horrid. The guitars are extremely ratty. No one knew what they were doing at this point. No one here was playing metal, let alone recording it.
Its sloppy as hell.
"Too stupid to die, we trudge ever onward" is still one of my favorite lyrics.
Nice snare rattle to open the whole thing with.
I sound young. Fills are typical, some beats are too busy. Some things I played just right, some I would definitely do differently (now).
The drums were Pearl Exports, the snare was a Pearl Steel shell (with the extended snares), and the cymbals were a mix of Sabian B8, B8 Pro, and AA (still learning/acquiring/growing).
This is when music was still fun.
