Modern, High Quality and Affordable Productions

the damage room is my personal studio, it's located in the house I live in, not far from Philadelphia, PA. You can use it at no extra cost (aside from my own rates), or if you want, you can have me come to your studio, where I can take on the role of engineer/producer.

Some of the brands I use:

Who I am

Kevin Pandele

Metalhead & Producer

About Me

10+ years of experience in music.

I've been working in music, as a composer and a producer, since 2004, right after I finished music school in Paris, France. I've been into music for as long as I can remember, and a metalhead since about 9. I'd much rather talk about your music than myself, so get in touch with me (or text me - reception is pretty bad in the studio).

How I Work

In a Nutshell.

The way I work is not formulaic. I tailor each production to each band I work with. However, there is a certain general sound that I try to go for, or that my ears find pleasant let's say. I do tend to like clean productions with a very massive weight to them, not in terms of loudness necessarilly, but I do like a tightly packed low-end!

My Influences

Bands: Soilwork, Opeth, Katatonia, Tool, Meshuggah, Kaizers Orchestra, Freak Kitchen, Strapping Young Lad, Gojira, Tigran Hamasyan, A Perfect Circle, etc… (too many to list)
Producers: David Castillo, Jens Bogren, Jacob Hansen, Devin Townsend, Peter Tägtgren, Andy Sneap, Tue Madsen, Randy Staub, Andy Wallace, etc… (Again, too many to list)

Recording

Book time (by the hour, or the day!) and come record at the damage room. You'll have access to all my gear and my know-how. I can help you harmonize vocals and riffs, add instruments (like pianos, strings, etc...) to your material, help you rearrange your songs.

Reamping

Record your guitars at home, and by doing so, save tons of money and use all the time you need to get things right! Once you've recorded all your di tracks, I'll reamp them here at the damage room. Get in touch with me for details.

Mixing

This is my favorite part of the process. This is where I polish your material and shape it with the identity you're shooting for. If you need a mixing estimate, please send me the style, number of songs, average number of tracks per song, etc... (As much info as you can give me really)

Mastering

Mastering, which includes the audio mastering and the CD sequencing, is charged according to the length of your material. I can make it very dynamic, or I can make it crazy loud. I can also work with stems.
