Testament, Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Exodus, Killswitch Engage and Devildriver all call the same man to lay the final hand on their albums: Britain\u2019s Andy Sneap<\/strong>. The pummeling heaviness, clarity and detail of his productions has lent him worldwide fame and, needless to say, helped shape the sound of metal as we know it in the new millennium.<\/p>\n

Sampled by drummer John Tempesta<\/strong> (White Zombie, Testament, Helmet) in Los Angeles\u2019 Henson Recording Studios, formerly known as the A&M Studios, the Metal Machine EZX lacks none of the metal traits you\u2019d expect: the thunderous bass-drums, the ferocious in-your-face snares and the crystal clear toms that will pierce through any wall of guitars.<\/p>\n

This must-have EZX is as metal as it gets. Period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
