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.

We are beyond proud to say that we have officially finished tracking our next full length album.

This record is an absolute nuclear bomb.

A lot of bands talk big, but this album is genuinely something different. Massive. Punishing. Unique. Melodic. No one sounds like this. We know we have created something special during these sessions.

We came into the studio completely prepared, locked in, and hungry. Because of that, we finished recording an entire day early.

This is the strongest and most focused material we have ever created.

We’ve got some very exciting things coming down the pipeline soon, and we seriously cannot wait to share this album with all of you.

Thank you for supporting us throughout the years. This next chapter is going to be something special.

And as always a special thank you to the Wizard himself Pete Grossmann 🧙‍♂️🪄🎤🎙️over at Bricktop Recording

Long live Metal 🤘🔥🤘
