Nick Raskulinecz (born in Knoxville, Tennessee) is a Grammy-winning American record producer. He resides in Los Angeles, California.
Raskulinecz is from the Bearden area of Knoxville, Tennessee. He first produced and recorded bands in Knoxville on a $2,700 8-track recorder that his grandfather bought for him. He played in a popular local thrash/funk band called Hypertribe. After the band broke up, Raskulinecz moved West and took a job at L.A.'s 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, Grammy Award for Best Rock Album 2004) and In Your Honor (2005). In addition to his work with Foo Fighters, he has worked with such artists as Duff McKagan, Nick Oliveri and the Mondo Generator, Danzig, The Exies, Ash, My Ruin, Velvet Revolver, Shadows Fall, Superdrag, Goatsnake, Marilyn Manson, Fireball Ministry, Rush, Rye Coalition, and Death Angel, among others.
Most recently, Raskulinecz produced Snakes & Arrows with Canadian rock trio Rush. Snakes & Arrows is Rush's 18th studio album; it was released May 1, 2007. On May 24, 2007, it was announced that Raskulinecz was currently finishing up New York-based Coheed and Cambria's fourth full-length album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow, which was released on October 23, 2007.
In September 2007, it was reported that Raskulinecz would produce Killing Season with Filipino-American thrash quintet Death Angel. Killing Season is Death Angel's fifth (and second post-reunion) album; it was released February 26, 2008.
Raskulinecz is also slated to produce an album with the Canadian band Thornley, according to a November 2007 interview on 94.9 The Rock with the band's front man Ian Thornley. The as yet untitled album is due for release in 2008. He is also going to be producing the next Trivium album, which is in pre-production stages.
