Such a pleasure having Buster over! Check out Humanities Last Breath here: ua-cam.com/video/K6XCQ2QrMkk/v-deo.html
Discovered humanity's last breath this year with the release of ashen. Immediately delved into the older stuff. So atmospheric and powerful. On heavy rotation in my catalog.
What a unique dude, unique way to record and play live. That is INSANE
I wish this was on spotify though.
This interview just solidifies how important having supportive parents is. That’s so badass, nothing but respect for Buster, his dedication and to his kickass parents!
Good point!!
In my experience having a little bit of wealth is also great. It affords you the time to get good at recording
Went to school with Buster. He's always been exceptionally talanted!
Buster is THE fucking guy in metal/heavy music right now. No one in the genre even comes close to making as unique and interesting shit as he does.
Only person I've seen come close is Josh Miller from Darko. Their album "Oni" is a wild ride.
Lance is also a great producer. He produces/mixes/ and Masters for alpha wolf which is also a similar sound to thrown which is heavy as fuck
he is for his style what gojira sometimes is for their style. Unique, blowing minds and taking new paths. This interview was so helpful to understand his music for someone who enjoys his stuff but doesnt regulary listens to it!
Dude I don't think I've ever clicked a video this fast. So unexpected but very welcome!
Omg same here. This band was so unique and everyone is extremely talented! Thanks Ola
Lmao, said the same thing! Buster is the man!
lol same!
You’re not alone lol
No shit!
Buster is living proof that whatever was in Sweden's water decades ago is still very much in the water.
Nonstop legends coming out of there.
*Vildhjarta is an absolute game changer.*
Humanity’s last breath
Is game changer man buster guitar playing is so hard to grasp man and I’m pro brother no I’m not I’m any bands now but I’ve been playing for prob 30 something years I’m 43 since I’ve been eight so yes cause first year of so I sucked then pantera came out Metallica tab books megadeth slayer fear factory machine head nirvana but I just took off but this guys wow
Gonna have to say HLB is the game changer here lol
@hardcore907 you realize both can be true right
@@hardcore907 HLB only exists cause of Vildhjarta. Vildhjarta is much more influential, but Humanity’s Last breath also is very important in the scene
I agree with Ola about Buster being the "perfect" modern artist. He does so much for the stuff he is a part of and its hard not to hear a lot of his ideas inspiring a lot of different bands. It was cool to find out he's also a big fan of Eric Valentine
Just saw HLB in Phoenix a couple days ago, it was incredible! They're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands!
Absolutely love Buster. The guy is just too talented man, his nail the mix is awesome.
At 38:12 Buster, the God of THALL just named @joaoldmedeiros "Huge guitar God type dude" What a privilege!! And João also tabbed all HLB POG
Hearing buster explain his mixing style and comparing to edm makes so much sense. His kick and snare are slamming in the thrown mixes. Dudes drums are so huge
Buster mixed my band Currents album the place I feel safest and absolutely changed the way we heard the album. Truly a genius and a fantastic person.
Didn't see this one coming, but I absolutely love it. Everything Buster touches turns into gold.
Buster needs more spotlight. So glad he got this interview. Also, I think it’s crazy that anyone stull thinks that HLBs first record is still the best lol thier new albums are so progressive and massive and each push the boundaries of the last. Buster is what the metal world needs.
Yes! I’ve been hoping for a Coffee with Buster for a while now! ❤
HLB totally rocked my world when the self titled dropped, and ‘Ashen’ is pretty much my album of the year 2023 🤘🏻
I have so much respect for Buster and what he does. It’s fantastic to see someone who’s thinking outside the box when it comes to music.
I am waiting for Calle Thomer now
Coffee with Calle Thomer needs to happen!

HLB and Vildhjarta are the albums of the year. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up making sound tracks for big movies. Awesome Buster!
Mind blown learning Buster's wroting/recording/producing methods. Just shows if you know your craft inside out you can do it anyway you want!
this is the coolest part to me. everybody just copies each other and this dude just does whatever he wants and it sounds so sick
@@burneraccounthandle exactly. Just shows you don't need the latest products to get a cool/unique sound. You just need to know what you are doing and the possibilities are endless! Off to buy a pod farm now 😂
Darkane is such an awesome and unique band!! So underrated .. Layers of Lies is such a masterpiece.
That Expanding Senses though...
@@flexyofacechase1786 Yeah I know! I had to pick one but I mean, they are all soooo good! I guess layers has a better production but expanding sense is what hooked me to Darkane!
Yes, Darken are super creative, technical and just in your face
Peter Wildoer is a fucking beast.
One of the BEST coffe with Ola...such a good chat and interesting way of composing, very inspiring. Cheers guys!
Best band / producer on the planet atm, finally got to see them a couple of months ago
Buster is such a legend. Humanity's Last breath is just so awesome. Vildhjärta and Thrown is also kickass!!
Been following Buster since like 2017 because his work on Currents, Shadow Of Intent or Born Of Osiris really blew my mind. I saw him as the successor of Joey Sturgis who was the king from 2010 to 2014 and I felt that he kept the same vibe of low tuned snare, HARD hitting drums and "over"produced sound that I love so much. So happy to see him gain so much populariry this year, he deserves every shed of attention he is given, hard working dude
When I heard that Buster is working with InHuman a.k.a Code:Pandorum - everything started to make sense for me! One of the greatest and darkest dubstep musician plus father of thall Buster Odeholm. No surprise I fell in love with HLB's latest album instantly when I heard it! Much respect to both of them for my music taste
Man im so glad Buster is getting this recognition. Hes easily on the top of my list of people id love to meet. HLB is a great band and Vildhjarta is my favorite metal band. I had the reaction Buster did when i first heard them. It was like someone answered a question i never had an answer to.
Legend. His works got me into metal.
I swear at least half of those 500k listeners for thrown on spotify are people like me who *always* get a thrown song added as the first song to play next after an album ends. It's crazy how many times this band has been recommended to me. Not complaining though, they slap!
It was like that for the first couple with me, then I started following them and loved everything after
@@Dustinchugs yeah same here. Funnily enough I just booted up my desktop and opened spotify on there only to be greeted by my last played song: "parasite by thrown" :D
The most brutal producer on earth
What a way to wake up!!!! Ive been obsessing over Buster's mixing and playing for years now.
I literally spat out my water when I saw this in my recommended. So exciting!
Buster just doing side quest at this point so talented.
Ola is so on the nail with Buster being the modern guitarist/producer. He's so ahead of the pack right now and you can clearly hear his influence on the metal scene. Everyone is going for the heavy and massive low end that he managed to tame and everyone's chasing that sound in some shape or form. It's a shame HLB and Vildhjarta are still relatively niche but on the other hand Thrown being so massive is testament to the sound people want.
Best band around at the moment imo, "Ashen" is an unbelievable album
Great interview. Buster's thoughts on trying to make a metal kit sound as massive as EDM drums and such, it's really inspiring. Metal needs more producers that are trying to push the envelope on production techniques.
so everything can get joey sturgis-ified again? i'd argue for a return to more raw, stripped back production, and experimenting/innovating on getting cool sounds and tracks before it even gets printed into the DAW and every bit of life mangled out of it
@@f67739 I'm not really into Joey Sturgis. Buster is speaking from a sound design mindset vs whatever it is that Joey is trying to do. Also, depending on the music, it should be approached in different ways. Should HLB be produced like a 1-take studio session or an 8-track Tascam black metal mix? No. It's a much more grandiose idea, and Buster even speaks on that during the interview. There is a point at 1:13 in Blood Spilled on the new HLB album, when I first heard it, reminds me of the production techniques used in some NIN songs, where everything achieves this gritty, distorted texture. It's a soundscape that creates an energy within the track. It's this type of thinking that I appreciate and am really speaking on, just as Buster speaks of. Think of some great albums over time, not just metal, look at the mix engineers and producers and how they created bigger sounds or effected things to become more atmospheric. There's nothing wrong with producing an amazing, raw song/album. It's necessary for so many things. But, there's also lots to be explored and I can appreciate that there are people like Buster, willing to try taking things to a new level. Cheers!
@@f67739 It depends on the band/project, you can hear massive difference in how Vildjharta and HLB songs are produced. And going for a massive, larger-than-life sound just works for what HLB is going for.
Very cool. I don't usually have the time to watch these, but I'm glad I had the time to see this one.
Super hyped on this interview, I love all of Buster's work!
This was such a great interview between two guys who have a lot of respect for each other. Ola you took your time to understand his work beforehand. It was really a pleasure
He's talking about a new level of "technical metal". Crazy stuff. I love Vildjharta since back in the day. THALL!!1
What a wonderful interview! Really happy to come across this.. I learned a lot
Very practical solutions to his specific problems, I like that
Great interview! Buster is so humble and chill for being such a prominent figure in the modern metal scene, much love to both of you :)
Buster is one of my main inspirations in everything he does! Definitely didn't see this video coming, can't wait to enjoy it properly.
I could listen to Buster talk all day! Finally got my HLB box set a few weeks ago and it's incredible!
HLB’s new album is my favorite so far. Thrown also kicks ass.
Ola, your studios keep getting cooler and cooler!! The backgrounds are great!!
Super cool content as well. Really enjoying your channel.
This interview was so helpful to understand his music for someone who enjoys his stuff but doesnt regulary listens to it!
I've been listening nonstop to the new vildhjarta album. So good.
Buster is such an inspiration, thank you for doing this interview
Thank you both for this ❤❤❤. I feel like when you were both chatting through the pitch automation being at the note level, not the whole riff level, Ola says “fuck” and you both laugh knowing just how fucking insanely crazy that is for mental tracking. That was a pure respect-chuckle.
The doing it yourself part is so relatable. Not alot of people can commit these days
This was the best one yet! Keep it up
Killer interview Ola. I’ve been curious about busters production process for long time. Got bunch of my questions answered thank you. Cheers 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Best one I've seen 💪💪Buster is a legend of how he approaches music
Long awaited, great interview guys! Buster slaps!
Wow, this was such a cool interview, and definitely filled in a lot of questions I had about these guitar sounds!! 🤘
This has been my favourite episode!
Saw Humanity's Last Breath last year at Radar Festival in UK & they were super impressive and maybe the heaviest band I've ever seen live!
I got one word for you Ola - AMAZING 🔥
Thank you for that one!
so cozy and inspirational!
This was so fascinating
Way cool chat you had there! Would definitely tune in for more of these.
This is so epic. Dude is the single most important musician in today's modern metal scene.
That is your opinion and you are no authority on that subject.
Lmao no
I love Humanity's Last Breath the best! 🖤🖤🖤😁😁
the new album Ashen inspired me as a musician and truly hit me in my soul with it's production/instrumentation/vocals. 😊
The interview I've been waiting for ❤
Love buster. One of my biggest inspirations
This is the one I've been waiting for!
Great stuff! What a unique talent.
i bought the odeholm kemper packs and they're INSANE! massive fan of buster and his work man. big inspiration.

Great interview!! Nice to hear about João ! He is in fact a guitar God

This was great surprise! 🤘 Found this band couple of months ago in Tampere and been since into HLB and Odeholm stuff. HLB is just from different world 🔥🔥
The kiss thing from aiming for the stars was for me to😊

Set looks incredible!

So cool, Buster is amazing!
Buster is the new techmetals Tipper / Trifonic soundesigner/ producer!
Youre strecthing the genre even further! Love your work!
So true. He makes me think of Amon Tobin. He does what he wants.
The new Thrown song is the best one to date! Love his production and drumming
What an interesting artist! A whole new generation of what making music and metal means and can mean.
Thank you for sharing this interview. Buster is an absolute genius. Skål!
ιιɐчʇ
Aww... The heaviest coffee of the universe 😆🤘
Legend. Pure Genius. I've been waiting for this coffee since first Coffee with Ola :D Thanks Guys!
Buster is my idol in terms of songwriting and producing. Imo he mastered the category of modern heavy music without being overly confident or selfish with it. What a dude man.
I SEE BUSTER I CLICK!!!
You guys kick ass!!! LOVED this!
Buster... I will buy the drum plugin the literal instant it's for sale. HUGE fan of your mixes
Ola... this was an awesome episode bro... I always remember the old Sneap days and it's awesome to see how far you've come man.
big inspiration in the modern world, definitely a legend.
I really enjoyed this. It felt like it was two friends hanging out.

this dude is unorthodox af, and that's why hlb sounds the way it does. respect
Buster to me is hands down the best Metal Audio Producer we have outthere now
Dude is crushing the Metal Scene for Years 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Really cool interview! Unexpected (for some reason) but very cool
Awesome!
Glad Buster is here.😊
