Last year's Toontrack Metal Month went down a storm and it's back again for 2011 sounding more fierce and ferocious than ever before with eight new metal-related products. To kick things off, Toontrack have released a brand new EZX expansion pack 'Metal Machine'.
Metal Machine bears the unmistakable seal of British producer/engineer Andy Sneap who has worked with the likes of Testament, Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Exodus and Devildriver and has had an instrumental role in shaping the sound of metal music as we know it in the new millennium.
the Metal Machine EZX lacks none of the metal traits you'd expect: the thunderous bass-drums, the ferocious in-your-face snares and the toms that will cut through your mixes with a crystal clear tone to die for.
Requires EZdrummer or Superior Drummer
Available now as a download or boxed product
RRP: £54.95 / €65.95
