Carcass album producer quits; Andy Sneap recruited

In a new interview with El Santuario Del Rock, Carcass frontman Jeff Walker revealed that producer Colin Richardson quit work on the band's new album two weeks into the mixing process. Carcass has subsequently recruited Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Killswitch Engage, Machine Head) to complete the mix for the effort, titled Surgical Steel. Walker offered up the following explanation:
"He quit yesterday. He was two weeks into mixing the album and he decided that he didn't want to continue. So Andy Sneap is taking over. [Richardson] produced the album. It's just that he's hit a brick wall with the mix and doesn't want to continue. So we're bringing in Andy Sneap to do the mix now. It's a shame, but we finished recording the album three months ago. There are a lot of reasons for it, but the main reason is that he says he is burnt out. I guess it will be a positive thing to bring in some fresh ears."

All I can imagine is that this guy must've been working with the shittiest sounding tracks ever. Or he's really just that big of a pssy.

i could just imagine Richardson working on the mix and a couple days in just thinking "Man, i really don't want to do this" and two weeks in he's trying to bring himself to get it together and he just says "fck it. I quit!" haha

Ran out of coke and the band only had meth. ^^True Story^^

Sneap does good work, esp. Living Sacrifice a few years back.

Will it be Andy Sneap or an intense, polished up sample of Andy Sneap that can easily replace anything thats wrong with an entire albums production.

anonymous 3/22/2013 4:02:06 PM

he probably soundreplaced it all to shit to sound like all of todays scene bands and through a shit fit when the band said this sounds like dick.

anonymous 3/22/2013 5:36:13 PM

I heard they are bringing in Dick "Magic Ears" Knubbler, so no worries.

Things happen for a reason. Maybe it was time to move on, a different producer, a fresh start. Hope it all works out. Hey people, get a life, stop posting negative comments.

anonymous 3/23/2013 7:04:57 PM

Sneap is probably a step up

anonymous 3/25/2013 6:18:12 AM

anonymous 3/25/2013 10:12:30 AM

They should have brought in Bruce Dickinson, yes, THE Bruce Dickinson.

darkRapunzel 3/25/2013 10:27:41 PM

Hey anonymous, not worried about the typo; we all make spelling mistakes. But I am female, not male.
