In regards to that 8-string thread in The Chapel...

[shadowalk]

...I thought I'd post this here.

I just discovered this and I'm new to this secretary of state and his music. All I gotta say is...that low end.

[zim]

i really enjoyed all of that except the low end parts



i just cannot stand the tone of that 8th string

[Anjel]

I agree, it sounds too "mechanical".

[vO)))id]

take it you dont listen to meshuggah then, do you



fwiw i still think that chaosphere has the defining djent tone and they havent gotten anywhere close to that since, especially with the 8 strings

Exactly. Well, you gotta understand that there are those among us that live for those 'mechanical' djents and yes...'mechanical' solos and harmonies, if you will.



Then again, I guess that's one of the reasons why I am such a big fan of EMG pickups. There's just something in that "OMFG STERILE AND COMPRESSED NO CHARACTER WTF!" sound that I really, really love.

Ihsahn's 8 string work > Meshuggah's 8 string work.

[zim]

I don't like Meshuggah

[captain twat. IV.]

That was great,very original.

[Abzu]

concise and to the point > original

[captain twat. IV.]

Yea I just thought it was an interesting piece,not something I would listen to alot though.

[Abzu]

Excuse me, I thought you were sarcastically replying to zimberly.



I agree that the video is very good.

Regardless of his tone, direction, etc., there's no denying he's a monster player--very fluid. Isn't he the guitarist for Animals as Leaders? They have some pretty cool shit.

not always. it depends on what direction you want the music to take.[/quote]

(I was mistaken in context and was referring to statements, not music.)

[Haunty]

You gotta love the Steve Vai quote at the top of the Animals as Leaders Myspace page. That's pretty high praise.

Ok folks - this band fucking own!!

I just downloaded their album and it's fucking awesome!!



think Serious Young Insects meets Meshuggah's 8-string chugg/rhythm shit with Vai/Tony McAlpine on guitar.



If you're a fan of late 90's/00's fusion, Meshuggah and Vai/shred tech guitar, it's a must!



Sorry, no blog links so I got it on slsk.

[FUKKET]

found this in my "mp3s to check-out folder" while building my new PC.



<!-- m -->http://totaldeathcore.blogspot.com/2010 ... 10_24.html<!-- m -->



not sure how or why I got it.

i dig the guitaring, but it's too '-core' for me. Not really into that mathcore/deathcore stuff anymore.



[quote name="wiki"]his is the first Ion Dissonance album to feature 8-string guitars [/quote]

[nigtik]

absolutely incredible.

[bob_here]

Ah yes, Tosin is the man...
