Some producers get a track on an album. A rare few get the whole album. Stint got two, back to back, for one of the most respected bands in heavy music, and in doing so demonstrated a level of range and command that separates the top tier of producers from everyone else.
Sole producer, twice over
Stint produced every track on Rat Wars (2023) and again on Conflict DLC (2025), the two most recent full-length albums by the acclaimed Los Angeles industrial band HEALTH. On Conflict DLC he did far more than oversee sessions: he is credited playing programming, keys, bass and guitar across the record. To be handed the complete sonic architecture of an album, and then to be asked back to do it a second time, is one of the strongest votes of confidence an artist can give a producer. It means the band trusts him with their identity.
A masterclass in range
The significance is sharpest in context. The same producer behind a gold-certified Kesha pop single and a Grammy-nominated R&B album delivered two crushing, uncompromising industrial-metal records with total authority. That is not versatility as a talking point; it is a documented, verifiable ability to operate at the highest level across genres that share almost nothing. Few producers in the industry can credibly claim that spread of work, and fewer still can point to full-album production in each lane.
Being handed one album is a job. Being handed an entire band's sound, twice, is a career-defining trust.
Leading a room full of specialists
The HEALTH albums also show Stint as a leader, not just a technician. His regular mix partner on the material is Lars Stalfors, and he has brought in guest musicians from the elite of heavy music, including Willie Adler of Grammy-winning metal band Lamb of God and film composer Tyler Bates. The HEALTH and Chelsea Wolfe single “MEAN” sits in the same run, co-written and produced by Stint. Directing collaborators of that caliber, and being the fixed creative center they all report to, is the role of a producer whose judgment the industry's best trust implicitly.
What it proves
Producing two complete albums for a distinguished band, while personally performing much of the instrumentation and leading a roster of top-tier guests, is the kind of critical, leading role that defines a producer at the summit of the craft. The HEALTH records are not an outlier on Stint's resume. They are the proof that his command of a record holds no matter what the record is.
