RAGE

RAGE is a Scandinavian metal project written and performed by Hakun Kamminga, and mixed at Chateau Graylands using renoise and Reaper.  It was recorded in the spirit of the original Norwegian Black Metal classics, using a pair of headphones to pick up the vocals, as there was no proper mic available at the time.  This project was rediscovered when an old laptop was found that still miraculously worked after languishing in an attic for many years, with an ancient Linux distro on it that had Renoise installed.

Where possible, the tracks were remixed using the stock Renoise plugins, which incidentally are pretty fucking decent.  Where the Renoise XRNS were not avaiable, the tracks were restored from ogg files.  One track, Beneath the House Upon The Hill, was recorded at Chateau Graylands by RAGE and C0unt WAVnstein.   All tracks were eventually mastered using Reaper, to a timpanic membrane scraping nine Loudness Units relative to Full Scale.
