I haven't had the honor of being knocked out at one of their shows yet but I did get punched directly in the eye within about 10 seconds of The Hammer starting.
It has been so fun watching these dudes grow. I saw them live with maybe 60 other people back in summer at The Warehouse in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It was before Absolute even dropped. Low spotify numbers and everything, lol. Still felt like a treat to get a real, label signed hardcore name to come through. I hope they come back and give our town some love again, it was crazy fun. These guys are going places.
What I like about KK is they will play huge shows and they’ll still play venues with a cap of 100. Matthew is one of the realest best dudes I’ve ever dealt with in the scene. So glad to see how far they’ve came over the past 12 almost 13 years.

Thank you for mixing and uploading all these amazing livesets. Most of these bands don’t come through here very often so it’s awesome to get a bit of that live energy through these videos. And getting it with the audio quality you produce is absolutely amazing. For some bands I’ve listened to your video of them more than the actual recordings!
How did you enjoy mixing them? I've mixed them a few times at my local venue and they're a treat. They've got their live tone so dialed in that really all I had to do was get the levels right and it was pretty hands off for most of the set
@@LeoSypniewski when I mix them, they ask for no guitars in their wedges, vocals only. Their stage sound is that good (which is impressive as my venue is a notoriously bad sounding room). They do the same for you?
interesting read, really nice that you have been able to do this. Something I mentioned is that the mastering of mixing of their songs (take Boomslang for example) is extremely good.
@@kamjzit’s pretty neat you say that because when I saw them live. I was in the front row when I saw them , and their onstage sound was the best on the bill of bands. Other bands had digital rigs or their tones just weren’t as good. Kublai sounded absolutely disgusting. The duel guitar cabs made a world of difference. The guitar and bass was ripping through my chest. I heard everything perfectly. They were by far the loudest
Leo. Love your channel. I've been conjuring up a Playlist of sick live shows and your vids make up a good 30 percent of it lmao. Keep it coming brother 🎉
I've been watching this for like 2 hours lmaoo. The mix was amazing, and the chemistry between the crowd n Khublai khan was as well. thanks for the post man
I mixed these guys subbing in for a friend in a tiny place called Eagle's Hall in Henderson NV. They reminded me of a modern version on Pantera. Even though this style is not that compelling to me, these guys make it come alive.
I swear to fucking Gawd I got an intense rush of hair standing up on the back of my neck, jumped to my feet, and let it all go... Excellent stuff right here feel so good
My man leo always breaking everything with his videos, only congrats to you and your amazing job that always keep getting better and better. Saludos desde el sur del mundo amigazo, sigue con tu excelente trabajo y sigue apoyando a la escena que se da alla. Greetings froms chile my compadre!!!
I remember the first standing before this band and they opened up with “eyes up” and that was the song that got me into hardcore. Fucking love these guys !
A lot of vocalists like this might employ a "safe" scream during tours so they dont wear out their voice as much. he does sound different live but i bet its just so he can preserve his voice better throughout the tour.
What pedal is the bass player using? I’m assuming it’s some kind of 808 bass drop pedal since he hits it a lot. Any answers would be great. It’s def not a channel or preamp pedal since he hits it multiple times during same parts.
First time I ever heard of this band was at a show. At the end of Self-Destruct, I thought there was a malfunction with the guitar. I was like, “Oh shit, this bass + drum breakdown is actually sick af.”
Anybody know what the pedal is used for that the bass player keeps switching. It keeps turning off by itself like it doesn't stay on. Is it just an overdrive on a timer?
God Damn...love their energy...they truly bring it and love the fact that they interact with the crowd....makes for an even better show for sure. I have never seen them yet and definitely look forward to it. I'm 48 and my 25 y/o got me in to these fellas...so glad he did....
Christopher Plank Hi Christopher, I saw them live just 1 time and it was exactly what you see here. High energy level, interacting with the crowd, topnotch sound. That performance made them my big favorite band. KK forever
@@Monster-hx8qx Awesome to hear. I also love the fact that they played during the Pandemic...fuck THE NEW WORLD is say. And like Suicidal Tendencies once said "You Can't Keep Me Down!"
@@Monster-hx8qx And I appreciate their simpleness in the arrangement of the songs, their seemingly simple playing style...nothing too crazy. I don't play instruments anymore, but it seems the cords and such are easy and they play so effortlessly. The drum kit is simple. But they really bring it. Love the "Texas Beatdown" style.
These guys are fuckin brutal. Such respect for him just slappin the kids back that was diving. Let em have fun so long as they're not being assholes. Need to go see these guys desperately.

Amazing set! I saw them on my birthday in Connecticut
Can’t believe they don’t perform Dropping Plates
Props to the girl at 5:08.
She barked until her throat hurt
I’ve been knocked out cold at two
Separate shows from this band.... best nights of my life
A dude got knocked out when I saw them in SLC.
yo i chipped a tooth, got a bloody nose, and a black eye if a single one of there sets
Sounds dope
I haven't had the honor of being knocked out at one of their shows yet but I did get punched directly in the eye within about 10 seconds of The Hammer starting.
yeah i got a black eye the first time i saw them. good shit
Now THAT'S a crowd
John Cantwell only comment I needed to see before the set actually started
Bro the small crwod‘s are the best 🥰
Took my comment damnit lol
The foundry is about the size of my bedroom, crowds are always wild there
Excuse me sir, go look up kublai khan live Worcester palladium lol
This show right here. Proves hardcore never dies.
5:09 they fucking killed it tbh
I love how Matt was like shit yeaahh
Does anyone else listen to this because it bangs harder than the actual recordings? BIG mix Leo thank you buddy
yep
You’re welcome
Yesssss
ABSOLUTE!!!
Fuck yes!!!
When you leave the cornfield at 3:00 but have to do vocals in a hardcore band at 3:15
24:54 That sync tho
Xherdann legit read this comment right when i saw it. couldn't be more perfect
thats so funny
@@austinshelton6893 same! But I specifically clicked on the song lol
5:07 kid sounded mad good actually lol
Right dude went in !!
Whatever they did at 4:08 was the coolest sounding shit I’ve ever heard
Close palm pinch, into a bend. Classic shit!!! Love this band
That bass is so juicy
That bass sounds siiiiick
The collective head bang 9:57 😂
That little "WOO!" during the pause at 16:37 is perfect
09:56 this synchronicity. Insane looking gig! I miss live gigs
It has been so fun watching these dudes grow. I saw them live with maybe 60 other people back in summer at The Warehouse in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It was before Absolute even dropped.

Kublai is from my scene. Saw them back before they ever had recordings
These dudes have been at it for well over a decade.
What I like about KK is they will play huge shows and they’ll still play venues with a cap of 100. Matthew is one of the realest best dudes I’ve ever dealt with in the scene. So glad to see how far they’ve came over the past 12 almost 13 years.
Self destruct almost destroyed me! Absolutely massive. 10/10
This makes my quarantine way better
I dont understand how they are not a bigger band?!

Eyes Up, not Eyes Shut
O m f g I've never moshed on the toilet before. Matt sounds great, everything sounds so good

So easy, just like you said. They’re extremely tight and have great tones. I’ve mixed them three times now and they’re always a pleasure

Holy fuck that bass tone is frikin' huge, absolutely lovely
Really looked forward to a Leo epic and wasn’t disappointed. Getting three vocalists that well mic’d up is some achievement.
Leo thank you for doing what your doing. Always love seeing your videos in my subs
Sup with that kid doing the failed monkey flip into the pit like 6 times?lol
just doing his thing let it ride
Having fun
He's just chillin
During self destruct? I lost it lmao
Okay, can we talk about 2:05? Omg.
i felt that bass drop deep in my loins
Antpile slapped hard also! \m/
Holy shit
It is insane how good they have always been live. Matt and Nolan are some of my favorite humans.
Dammit Leo! Now I have to watch this a couple dozen times. Kublai Khan TX has never failed live
Leo. Love your channel. I've been conjuring up a Playlist of sick live shows and your vids make up a good 30 percent of it lmao. Keep it coming brother 🎉
I was front row. The bangover was real.
I was too, it was worth it
Michael Epp I was in the Slaughter To Prevail hoodie drinking my ass off while forgetting I got my face kicked in. 😂
This audio is fucking amazing, i can hear everything so clear, good job
The drummer played everything note for note. This band is so fucking right as a 4 some
I've been watching this for like 2 hours lmaoo. The mix was amazing, and the chemistry between the crowd n Khublai khan was as well. thanks for the post man
How am i just finding out about these dudes right now?!?! F'n siiiiiiiiiick.........and that crowd.......😮 F*ck yeah!! 🤘😝🤘
Really fucking needed this Leo. Much appreciated.
Waw, what a setlist 🔥
Thank you Leo, this one slaps hard
I've come back to this so many times. The mix is perfect.
This is probably the best they’ve ever been. Love them and great mix as always Leo.
I sadly caught covid from this show, & was sick 5 days later and gave it to my entire family. Would KILL to see them play live again!!
I mixed these guys subbing in for a friend in a tiny place called Eagle's Hall in Henderson NV. They reminded me of a modern version on Pantera. Even though this style is not that compelling to me, these guys make it come alive.
Their shit sounds great live however they tuned it here.. guitar & bass sound THICK 🔥🔥
scuba steve they have their tones on fuckin lock it’s insane
This was everything I fucking needed right now.
I swear to fucking Gawd I got an intense rush of hair standing up on the back of my neck, jumped to my feet, and let it all go... Excellent stuff right here feel so good
One of the sets that I was waiting you could upload someday Leo, thank you so much!!
My man leo always breaking everything with his videos, only congrats to you and your amazing job that always keep getting better and better. Saludos desde el sur del mundo amigazo, sigue con tu excelente trabajo y sigue apoyando a la escena que se da alla. Greetings froms chile my compadre!!!
I was at this show, amazing! Thanks Leo!
Holy hell, SO HUGEEEEEEE!!!
this mix is amazing
Do you know what hes using for the bass tone? That shit is gnarly. Amazing mix as always.
90% sure it’s a Darkglass
@@LeoSypniewski The only pedal any bassist should be using tbh! Sounds so sick. Great job on the mix btw!
Get the album tones easy as with a b7k boosted low and highs into a microtubes x
@@nickfenton100 i do have a microtubes x7 and the tone is pretty dope just not as chunky and clanky as in this vid.
His amp is a Sansamp into a power amp. Looks like he’s running a Darkglass probably B7K on top. Then compressor for sure. Then noise gate.
The sound is fuckiing massive!!!! And not just from that bassists pedal lol. Amazing mix and band. I cant wait to see them.
This is the best "crowdkill" hardcore band at the moment in my opinion
i met matt at a show in canberra, AUS. nicest dude. great show
Another great one. Keep it up you’re helping with quarantine thank you 🤘🏾
I’m glad you enjoy it but you should know I don’t really have many more videos to post, this was the last show we had before quarantine started
I remember the first standing before this band and they opened up with “eyes up” and that was the song that got me into hardcore. Fucking love these guys !
It's crazy, but the vocals hit way harder in this live recording than in the actual recorded songs.
Is it just me or did he change up his vocal style? I like it
He never sounds the same live as he does recorded.
Maybe was a start of a tour? His voice normally wears out but sounds really great here
A lot of vocalists like this might employ a "safe" scream during tours so they dont wear out their voice as much. he does sound different live but i bet its just so he can preserve his voice better throughout the tour.
@@wyatttacey6181 his live voice sounds less safe than his studio work. Dont remember him sounding like this last year when I saw them
@@eversleeperband-josh9909 i wouldn't know how safe it sounds i don't scream myself I just know some vocalists might do that.
Bro the whole crowd is legit fuck yes son
What pedal is the bass player using? I’m assuming it’s some kind of 808 bass drop pedal since he hits it a lot. Any answers would be great. It’s def not a channel or preamp pedal since he hits it multiple times during same parts.
im so curious too. did you ever find out? it sounds so goddamn good. self destruct makes me cream every time
sick guitar work, do they play with a backing track bc dude sounds like 2 guitars in one
This was in my hometown and I didn’t know about them yet... I’m forever sick
I've watched this nearly 10 times now. amazing sound work Leo!
First time I ever heard of this band was at a show. At the end of Self-Destruct, I thought there was a malfunction with the guitar. I was like, “Oh shit, this bass + drum breakdown is actually sick af.”
Tight production for one of the tightest bands in the scene and one of the tightest crowds. Tight.
This is my favorite band thank you so much
Proud of these Texas boys
Sterling where in Texas are they from
Dark Helm 36 Sherman
Nikolas B Huh, I live in Texas and I’ve never heard of Sherman
Dark Helm 36 big state
@Ben Hiscott ah, thanks
God damn that venue looks fun
Anybody know what the pedal is used for that the bass player keeps switching. It keeps turning off by itself like it doesn't stay on. Is it just an overdrive on a timer?
Does anybody know what gear the guitarist is using? I don't see an amp on stage
your live sets are by far the best out there dude
Less than 30 Minutes of Controlled Mayhem. These Boyz are tha Real Deal... 🔥🤘🏽🎸🎸🥁 #texasboyz
I need to see this band live, so fucking heavy
homeboy at 25:25 killing it
lmao you see that lagg in his cartwheel? look like I had the video in .25x speed lmao
Crazy to think these dudes are from Sherman
I know right. Texas metal always hits the hardest
anybody know what looper the bassist is using for the 808 drops? wish I could use my helix for it but it can't save prerecorded files
It's some cheap old delay/looper thing I think an old digitech. I mixed them live not too long ago.
Digitech Jam solo xt
God Damn...love their energy...they truly bring it and love the fact that they interact with the crowd....makes for an even better show for sure. I have never seen them yet and definitely look forward to it. I'm 48 and my 25 y/o got me in to these fellas...so glad he did....

Thank you now I want to break everything in my flat
What pedal bass use in front ???? Please someone tell me now

Never heard of these guys before but holy shit their sick. Amazing energy from these guys for a live show. I need to go to a show like this JFC.
This is so sick
Good too see Hardcore's still alive in Tx's hat's off bro's
24:37 "alright baby" lmao
after watching this video, I found all the glass in my house shattered
did legit just say "oh SHIT this mix is good"
These guys are fuckin brutal. Such respect for him just slappin the kids back that was diving. Let em have fun so long as they're not being assholes. Need to go see these guys desperately.
do you still have the multitracks for this?
You told me about this at Bar Louie and I totally forgot about it until now but this shit is that thousand hand slap. Too good with these videos.

first time being introduced....i dig this
Anyone knows what’s the pedalchain that the bass player is using?
Mixing is tight, sound is nuts 🔥
Like wowee fellas! This ensemble sure is neat
DAYUM that girl at 19:26 got into it
amazing sound man!
The 2 step kid on stage was lit af
Lmao at the girl getting thrown down onto to the stage during the last breakdown of The Hammer 😂
