I will help you achieve the sound that represents your heavy band, because:

  • I am incredibly passionate about music - as I have been classically trained on piano since the age of 5 and played guitar in bands since I was 15.
  • I recorded successful albums as a guitarist (Gift of Madness, The Overcoming Project), played shows in front of thousands of people
    (▶Killswitch Engage Moscow show, 2013)
    , and
    ▶Toured around Australia.
  • I can’t not make heavy records. In 2014, I moved to Australia to pursue a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The academia almost drove me insane as I was restricted from making music. Right away, I responded by opening my metal production studio - working on my PhD from 9-5 while relentlessly building the studio from 6-10 each night. Now I bring this level of grit into making your records, how's that?
  • I bring the highest level (PhD level!) of attention to detail and my burning passion for metal to help you discover your sound.


    • I have been on your journey as a musician, and I will help you get to your goals.




    ▶Colleagues and Collaborators

    I collaborated and worked with numerous recording, mixing and mastering studios around Melbourne, including Toyland Recording Studio, Rangemaster, Bushido Studios - Dan Presland, Studio Truth, ColourSound, Rolling Stock Recording Rooms, Panorama Mixing and Mastering, Crystal Mastering, Deluxe Mastering - Tony Jack The Bear Mantz. Regardless of studio facility choice, I aim to translate your authentic ideas into the final sound of your choice.

    I am also keen to share his recording, production and mixing expertise with you in the blog section.

    3) Heavy Mag, 2022. "Take a listen to The Overcoming Project, the solo effort from Melbourne solo artist Doctor Mike Trubetskov and your mind will be blown."
