This Metalcore Demo Felt Empty… So I Added Cinematic Metalcore Synths
Dr. Mike Trubetskov breaks down how he enhanced a modern shoegaze metalcore synths demo (Music by Kaw – Doomsday) submitted through his free test synth offer by adding modern percussive rhythmic feel and fat digitized layers beneath the guitars. He first maps the song’s sections, then demonstrates synth layers that support the hook (lead/pad lines based on guitar chords with glide) to make guitars feel larger without being upfront. Next, he adds subtle rhythmic pulses to increase movement, tension, and anticipation into the chorus, comparing the effect to shaker/cowbell or hip-hop hi-hat patterns and noting rhythmic modulation. Finally, he builds breakdown impact with risers, transitions, sub drops, added percussion (Heavyocity Damage 2), and bass-synth layers that follow riffs for a monolithic, aggressive sound, with tips on processing and references to different stylistic directions.
How I Mixed Metal Synths into Deadly Prayers for a Modern Sound
How Synths Transform Modern Metal (Case Study: Deadly Prayers) | Dr. Mike Trubetskov
Dr. Mike Trubetskov explains the role of metal synths in modern production through a case study with Deadly Prayers (France), demonstrating how carefully designed synth parts can add depth, atmosphere, and emotional contrast beyond simply using presets or doubling guitars. He highlights a more symphonic, orchestral, cinematic approach—using risers and drops with less electronic character, creating harmonic context via counterpoint and third-interval harmonies, and supporting riffs with low-end synths, choirs, and strings. He compares sections with and without synths (including a pre-chorus and main riff), emphasizing subtle development that listeners may feel more than hear. He also discusses finishing touches using cinematic percussion and explosions instead of typical sub drops, and encourages experimenting with sound choices to match a song’s vibe and message.
The Integration Of Synth Into Heavy Metal, As Told By DR. MIKE TRUBETSKOV – Interview with HEAVY Mag
Interview by Angela Croudace – https://heavymag.com.au/the-integration-of-synth-into-heavy-metal-as-told-by-dr-mike-trubetskov/
Dr. Mike Trubetskov isn’t just a metal producer—he’s a guide into one of the genre’s most misunderstood elements: synths. Based in Melbourne, he works with heavy bands to shape what he calls their “cinematic sound,” and a huge part of that comes from what sits beneath the obvious.
For Mike, synths aren’t always meant to be heard, they’re meant to be felt. Whether it’s a subtle, slow-moving pad or an industrial, distorted layer cutting through dense guitars, these sounds define the emotional weight of a track. Remove them, and something vital disappears.
What stands out is his balance between creativity and restraint. He approaches each song like a puzzle, filling gaps instinctively while respecting the band’s vision. Too much layering? It kills the song. The right touch? It elevates everything.
He’s also quick to point out that great synth work starts with songwriting, not sound design. A strong melody that fits naturally within the track will always win over something overly complex. From following vocal lines to adding hidden counter-melodies deep in the mix, these small, often unnoticed details are what transform a good track into something immersive and alive.
There’s also a technical intensity behind it all. In a genre built on distortion, synths need to fight for space—often pushed through layers of saturation to cut through, or buried with reverb to create an eerie, almost subconscious presence. It’s this constant push and pull between clarity and atmosphere that defines modern metal production.
For anyone looking to learn, Mike’s approach is both reassuring and challenging: trust your instincts, focus on the music first, and don’t rely on trends to carry your sound. He shares more of this insight on his YouTube channel, Doctor Mike Metal, where he breaks down techniques and encourages artists to experiment, refine, and ultimately find their own voice.
Metal Guitar Tone That Sound Real (Not Just Another Amp Sim Preset)
🎸 Finally: Metal Guitar Tone That Sound Real (Not Just Another Amp Sim Preset)
If you’ve ever clicked through dozens of amp sim presets only to end up with the same lifeless, thin metal guitar tone… you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why I partnered with Jay from Oracle Sound to build something better — a tone pack for Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) that finally sounds real.
NAM is powerful — it can replicate real amps incredibly well. But if you’ve tried grabbing random models off the internet, you know the results can be hit or miss. Some tones are inspiring. Others? Completely unusable.
That’s where this project comes in.
🎛️ What Makes This NAM Tone Pack Different?
We captured real amp tones from my studio rig, using Jay’s advanced NAM training process and loader via Oracle Sound. This isn’t just a “snapshot” — these are dialed-in, mix-ready profiles that actually hold up in a production context.
We focused on realism, punch, and versatility.
✅ Inside the Pack:
- 10 NAM models total:
→ 8 heavy rhythm tones
→ 1 clean
→ 1 lead - Real amps used:
→ Custom Audio Amplifiers OD100
→ EVH 5150 III
→ Engl Blackmore - Each model comes in 2 versions:
→ Raw – tweak it your way
→ Processed – polished, ready-to-go tones - Captured with real OD pedals: Horizon Devices Precision Drive & MXR Dirty Tree
- Created from 5 different DI sessions to ensure real-world performance across genres and tunings
This pack is about delivering tones that inspire you to play more and make more riffs, and tweak less.
🎁 Want to Try It First? Grab a Free NAM Profile
We’re giving away one amp model for free, both raw and processed. It’s yours to try out — no strings attached.

If you dig it, the full pack is available right alongside it.

Want to hear the tones in action? In this YouTube video, I walk through the concept, show off the tones, and explain how we built this pack to stand out:
▶️ Watch: Tired of Generic Metal Amp Sims? Try This Guitar Tone Pack
The pack itself is available here!
Whether you’re recording heavy riffs, building reamps, or just want to be inspired when you pick up the guitar — this NAM pack was made for players who want real tone without the plugin grind.
If you’ve ever felt like your amp sim tones were just… “meh,” this might be the thing that changes it.
Stay heavy,
– Dr. Mike Trubetskov

Would Metalcore SUCK if It Had No Guitars? (Metal Synths Only Challenge w. Presets!)
In this video, Dr. Mike Trubetskov challenges himself to create a modern metal sound using only metal synths, completely avoiding guitars, amp sims, and guitar amp distortions. The goal is to replicate the feeling that guitars give to heavy music listeners and explore the broader role of synths in metal. Mike shares his findings, conclusions, and the presets he created during the experiment. He demonstrates how synths can enhance or even replace guitars, discusses the limitations, and shows examples of synth patches and techniques used to mimic guitar tones. Ultimately, Mike concludes that while synths offer exciting possibilities, they cannot fully replace the unique feel of guitars in metal music. Instead, blending guitars and synths can create a powerful and modern sound.
