REVIEW FROM COVET CHAOS ABOUT THE BLOODSTAINED VAULTS:
"The day recording with Mike and Peet was great. The sound we got on the recording was just right. We didn't think we would get a sound quality this good, so it blown us away when we heard the final versions. Mike and Peet mixed the songs really well and total understood what we explained for the mix. Theres a Pizza Shop round the corner too, which makes everything cool haha. Really fun day, and its totally worth the money, which is very good moneywise. They do the mixing for free, i was very impressed with the prices. Choosing The Bloodstained Vaults was one great choice" - Dan
REVIEW FROM NEANDERTAHL ABOUT THE BLOODSTAINED VAULTS:
"Bloodstained damn right a great little studio which produces a huge kick ass sound we have recorded there twice now and both times have been proper chuft with the outcome, very functional and mr pilat does extremely well sorting the shit, plus if you lucky his mum might make you a smoothie hhaha" - Aleem
REVIEW FROM THEY SPEAK IN SWARMS ABOUT THE BLOODSTAINED VAULTS:
"What not only took the piss apart from how sound Mike is was the sheer quality of the studio! The man's a legend and when we were given the masters we were blown the fuck away, he's got a brutal sound an some sick ideas, if it weren't for him we wouldn't have that harmonic part at the end of 'Bloodshed'. He's excellent to work with an really does get the best outta you, on top of all that he's the most efficient bastard I've ever met in my life :) Top notch guy an his mum made us some of the best pasta ever, fuckin killer day an more than impressive results, get in there with him an start laying some shit down..you won't be dissapointed trust me" - Martyn
REVIEW FROM INCASSUM ABOUT THE BLOODSTAINED VAULTS:
"A great atmosphere to work in, Mike has a talent to bring out the best in a musician. Incassum recorded two tracks and we where very pleased with the outcome.It should be the law for proper metal bands to record at bloodstained studios!" John - Incassum.
