Bricktop Recording

Bricktop Recording Riffs Bricktop Recording is a unique, fully equipped recording studio located in Chicago's Northeast Pilsen neighborhood.

Founded in 2007 by Pete Grossmann & Andy Nelson, they set out to create a studio that was both comfortable and conducive to creativity. Throughout their 18 years of experience engineering and touring in bands, Andy & Pete have worked on albums released through esteemed labels such as Relapse, Pure Noise, Southern Lord, Prosthetic, Epitaph, Triple Crown, Equal Vision, Run for Cover Records as well

as THQ Games' "Homefront: Songs for the Resistance" soundtrack to name a few. Bricktop's enormous 500 square foot live room with 20' ceilings helps make instruments sound huge without artificial reverb while their dead room is bone dry for sources that need to sound upfront and intimate. The control room offers an accurate and cozy listening environment which enables mixes to translate well on every system. In addition to great sounding rooms, a large variety of instruments are available to clients including custom maple Shine drums, amplifiers from Soldano, Sunn 0))), Emperor, Marshall, Mesa, Fender and Rivera. The utmost care has been taken in the acoustical design and selection of recording equipment and instruments. Bricktop Recording boasts a custom console with vintage Neve, Neotek & API channel strips, Pro Tools Ultimate, Burl converters, Barefoot monitors as well as a generous selection of quality mic's, mic pre amps, eq's and compressors. Bricktop Recording can help you achieve your artistic vision. Whether its a full length/ep/demo from start to finish or just mixing/overdubs, we can help anywhere along the way. Rates start at $350 per 9 hour day/$50 per hour.

Repost from

O B S E R V A N C E

is out TODAY.

We put an immense amount of work into this record from start to finish. More so than anything we have ever done. The songs were created not only at home, but also on tour in front of some of you. Even though a lot of the writing process was improvisational in nature, the songs were written with our past in mind as well as looking towards the future. We have been fortunate to have had the reputation of being a REALLY heavy band for long enough to where we knew that we could stretch out and explore new horizons in our OWN way. If you saw us on tour with or you heard some of these song in their skeletal infancy. Though we remain as “Primitive Man” as ever, we really believe with our hearts that this represents a new chapter in the band and we encourage you to listen LOUD with or without headphones. Our music remains harsh and continues to demand a lot of patience, but if you are reading this I assume you are not a toddler (I know some toddlers who can handle it) so you can give it a go.

Thank you to EVERYONE at
Cheers to brother Andy and for helping us along the way and all the folks who have picked up the record, talked to us about the record or written about the record so far.

Just because our music is horrifying doesn’t mean it can’t be healing. So turn it up and drop the f**k out and when you come back - maybe start thinking about how you’re going to spend the rest of your time on this earth because it really is later than you think.

Sign up for our newsletter please. Link in bio for all of this stuff. Tour starts 11/24. SEE YOU ON THE ROAD.

Thanks for another year of great releases,  looking forward to 2025!
