Nail The Mix Matt Thomas mixes Left To Suffer Disappoint Me [TUTORiAL]

Prepare to deep-dive into one of the most sonically aggressive productions of the year with Left To Suffer’s “Disappoint Me,” from their 2024 record *Feral*. Known for fusing modern deathcore with nu metal influence, this track balances unstoppable brutality with methodical arrangement precision. It’s a standout not just in the band’s catalog, but across the entire modern metal landscape for its relentless low-end impact, unhinged vocal delivery, and thick, layered guitar production.

Mixed by Matt Thomas (Ashtone Audio), whose work with Left To Suffer and The Gloom In The Corner is defined by hyper-dense mixes that still breathe and punch, this session is a masterclass in managing complexity. “Disappoint Me” features wide atmospheric guitar layering, ultra-tight rhythm sections, slam-style drum arrangements, and one of the most intense vocal mixes we’ve hosted. The low-register vocals are saturated and up-front without masking critical transients, highlighting Thomas’s control of frequency overlap and harmonic saturation.

Expect to learn advanced automation strategies, surgical EQ choices for fitting guttural vocals and sustained guitar tracks into a cohesive mix, and severe dynamic sculpting on transient-heavy material. Kick/bass separation, stereo image management under extreme distortion, and atmospheric effects routing all play major roles here.

Download these multitracks if you want to push your limits dealing with high-density, high-impact metal mixes. This is an aggressive, sonically intricate session that demands critical listening and refined technique. Perfect for producers ready to dissect real-world metalmixing at a professional level.
