Reamp.
Record.
Master.
Perkelium Records is a world-class reamping, recording and mastering studio for extreme metal with a pure, 100% analogue signal chain. Real amps, real cabinets, real rooms. Never a plugin. We also build the tools: the Black Urn audio interface and plectra engineered for high-speed tremolo picking.
100% analogue. No plugins. Ever.
In a world of synthetic, artificial sound, this studio runs a pure analogue signal chain. Real amplifiers, real cabinets, real microphones, real rooms. No amp sims, no impulse responses, no plugins.
Air, not algorithms
Every guitar and bass tone is an analogue pedal into a tube amplifier pushing a speaker in a room. Nothing is modelled, emulated or rendered.
The room is an instrument
We use the room's reflections on purpose. They imprint a signature on the recording that no digital reverb can fake.
Alive on the record
Analogue capture keeps the interaction between player, amp and room intact. The result breathes, and stays that way on the master.
Run by a PhD physicist who plays this music. From $700 per song or $250 per hour. See the rates.
