CANDLER, NC — The Unholy Alliance tour has recently shipped into Europe from the US and sound service provider Eighth Day Sound elected to send the complete touring package over with them. "It came about in a funny way," said Tim Quinby, soundman for top of the bill Slayer. "When I was originally asked by management to specify this tour I asked for something else. Eighth Day had just purchased a new J-Series system from d&b audiotechnik, and they asked me to come down and check it out." Quinby admitted that with bands like Mastodon, Lamb of God, Thine Eyes Bleed and Children of Bodom on the bill, "The first band hits the stage at around 103/104 dBA (slow), by the time I get to mix I'm sitting at about 107 dBA with peaks around 110. That is a little louder than I like to work; 105 is good for me, but the thing is nobody sees me having to beat up on the system. Even at that level I still have room."
