Production career
Raskulinecz is from the Bearden area of Knoxville, Tennessee. He first produced and recorded bands in Knoxville on a US$2,700 8-track recorder that his grandfather bought for him.[1] He played in a popular local thrash/funk band called Hypertribe, which produced three albums at Underground Recording Studio in Seymour, Tennessee, with Matt Lincoln engineering and sharing producing duties. Eventually Raskulinecz began producing bands at Underground Recording and did so for the last year and a half that he lived in Knoxville. After Hypertribe broke up, Raskulinecz moved to Los Angeles and took a job at Sound City recording studio as an assistant. He eventually became an engineer, then a producer.
Raskulinecz is perhaps best known as the producer of the Foo Fighters albums One by One (2002) and In Your Honor (2005). He has also mixed the audio on the Foo Fighters DVDs Everywhere but Home, Foo Fighters Live at Wembley Stadium and Skin and Bones, the latter of which was accompanied by the live DVD at Hyde Park, also mixed by Raskulinecz.
In addition to his work with Foo Fighters, he has worked with such artists as We As Human, Trivium, Duff McKagan, Mondo Generator, Stone Sour, Danzig, The Exies, Ash, My Ruin, Velvet Revolver, Rush, Shadows Fall, Superdrag, Goatsnake, Marilyn Manson, Fireball Ministry, Rye Coalition, Death Angel, Deftones, and Danko Jones.[3]
Raskulinecz produced Snakes & Arrows with Canadian rock trio Rush. Snakes & Arrows is Rush's 18th studio album and was released May 1, 2007. Rush brought back Raskulinecz to co-produce their single "Caravan" and album Clockwork Angels, due to be released in 2011. In September 2007, it was reported that Raskulinecz would produce Killing Season with Filipino American thrash quintet Death Angel.[4] Killing Season is Death Angel's fifth album and was released February 26, 2008.[5]
Raskulinecz produced an album with the Canadian band Thornley. The album, titled Tiny Pictures, was released on February 10, 2009. He was also the producer on Trivium's fourth album Shogun, released in 2008.
Raskulinecz produced Black Gives Way to Blue, the fourth studio album by grunge rock quartet Alice in Chains.[6] Released on September 29, 2009, this was the band's first studio album in 14 years, since their 1995 self-titled Alice in Chains, and its first release with new singer William DuVall following the death of Layne Staley.
Raskulinecz produced Deftones' Diamond Eyes, released on May 4, 2010. Raskulinecz also produced Stone Sour's followup to Come What(ever) May (which he also produced), entitled Audio Secrecy, in his Nashville studio. It was released September 7, 2010.
As of July 2011[update], Raskulinecz is working on Evanescence's third studio album, the self titled Evanescence, set for release on October 11, 2011.[7][8]
