Why Greenleaf Records Bass & Drums Together for the Ultimate Groove

Nov 21, 2025
How does Greenleaf achieve their signature heavy rock groove? Arvid Hallagård reveals the band's "old school" recording technique: recording the bass and drums together at the same time with the whole band playing, rather than track-by-track. This process is more expensive and requires more practice but is absolutely vital for capturing the locked-in feel and powerful rhythm section groove. Arvid argues this approach is crucial for rock albums and makes a huge difference you can instantly "tell on the record."
