CAVERN OF ECHOES MASTERING
VICIOUS SOUND, CRUSHING ALBUMS
Mastering the sound you crave
Hey! I’m Roland
I’m a specialized mastering engineer based in Toronto, and heavy metal is my passion. Each morning I wake up to classic metal on vinyl and excellent coffee.
Then, I get to work mastering extreme music as a day job.
When I’m not on tour, the recording studio is where I want to be: Working on your music!
As a fellow metalhead and musician, I fully understand the craving for a crushing album that will:
- Command attention
- Knock people over on the first listen
- And force heads to bang.
And that’s why I’m here! I’ve developed a keen interest in mastering metal, and I want to help make your album sound bigger, heavier and more defined, with the least amount of extra processing involved.
I know this music inside and out, and I understand the nuances of all sub-genres of extreme metal.
In other words, I respect the integrity of your mix while making it sound even more intense and powerful.
Your album is in good hands and ears!

THE ADVANTAGE
Why master your album at Cavern of Echoes?
Specialization
I’ll let you in on an industry secret: Most mastering engineers don’t know what to do with black metal, death metal, grindcore, and extreme music in general.
But, I’ve been involved in extreme metal my whole life and I focus exclusively on mastering the heaviest kinds of metal bands.
I take pride in making metal albums sound more intense!
The Personal Touch
I treat your album as if it was my own, and, believe me, I’ve put hundreds of hours into my own music over the years.
That’s why we will thoroughly discuss your album’s unique sonic balance prior to your session.
Your album needs to impact the listener with the full range of punch, dynamism, and nuance that comes from a meticulous and carefully crafted approach.
Simplicity and Transparency
My job is to enhance your mix, not add my own sound to it.
Let’s take my own bias completely out of the equation.
The studio engineer should be there to help you realize your vision.
The unique character and vibe of the mix that you spent countless hours creating will sound like I was never there.
You’re the boss!
