Metallica go "Retro" on 'Death Magnetic'
September 30th, 2008  |
| While Metallica was recording their ninth and most recent album, Death Magnetic, Vintage King’s Jeff Ehrenberg worked with the San Francisco based band on a handful of in-studio demos at Sound City Studios (of Nirvana fame) in Van Nuys, CA. Metallica used a pair of ProAc Studio 100’s purchased from Vintage King for the record, taking a cue from Rick Rubin, producer of the album, who owns multiple pairs of the speaker himself. Throughout the course of recording, the Grammy Award winning Metallica turned to Ehrenberg for suggestions and assistance on a variety of outboard gear, ultimately purchasing four Retro Instruments Sta-Levels and four Retro Instruments 176s. Death Magnetic went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States, making Metallica the first band to ever achieve five consecutive number one debuts. |
