Where would one go to record some kick ass rock/metal tunes on the island? website/mp3 links would be grand. Cheers, Lucius - Wed, 20 Jul 2011 9:50am

Runway Studios in Sidney - Steve does really good tracking for the money. Probably get it mixed elsewhere though.

Noise Floor in Ladysmith - his website might make it seem like more of an indie rock kind of studio, but Jordan cut his teeth with punk and metal in vancouver and knows the ins and outs.

Prodigal Sound - they did the first Reaver LP and it sounds badass. Expect to pay some money though.

If you can stand to go to the mainland, Rain City Recorders is affordable and top-notch as well. - Wed, 20 Jul 2011 3:53pm

There's always my place, the Lap of Luxury in Sooke; cheap, great gear and Im coming up on 30 years of recording, much of it metal/punk stuff. Ask around. I think the first band that I did that you could call "metal" was Mission of Christ. Just finished a session with Mendozza. - Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:54pm Edited: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:56pm

zippgun's studio does the trick, handled every weird thing we threw at them. And we throw weird (two dozen synths and weird efx). Great ears nice people. Nice acoustic drum sound, great bass, dayglos, mendozza, etc - Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:45pm Edited: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:47pm
