Tremolo picking.

Have you ever wondered why extreme metal tremolo picks regularly ? Well this is the thread for you. Call now, at one eight hundred Sorry yeah so tremolo picking is in music traditionally a middle eastern technique for ouds and wtvr plucked string instruments but extreme metal decided it would...

But we're not talking about Qatar or Dubai in the 70's we're talking about Qatar/Dubai now, where the past couple of generations have had almost exactly the same kind of exposure to metal music. If a kid is going to be a creative metal guitarist he's going to be a creative metal guitarist, all...

yeah yeah bomb blast. That's right. The swarming effect. So wtvr one calls it, I can't think of any other band that utilizes the Suffocation one. I wonder if it came from a mistake. Like it wasn't totally clear at the time what a blast beat was and the guy just came up with this, and then...

It's charged to max and you've got a few days to listen to 5 band discographies, (between the wanks and contemplation of the deep self).

If you were stranded on an island and all you had with you was your early 2000's ipod but you only had 5 metal band discographies on there. Which ones would you wish you had the most ? Which 5 bands are that essential to you that you'd have to listen to their shit for the rest. of. Your. LIFE...

Hard to tell technically what is different, but they sound well different though. The hammerblast, the iconic Mazurkiewicz Cannibal Corpse blast, sounds like a swarm. Double kicks are very present and build a strong bass presence in the background and makes the riffs sound bassier and more...

I think it's "cultural". I lived in the Middle East some time and the best band to come out of there was Nervecell, I knew a couple of the guys. The guys around that area, Qatar, Dubai... are basically the same as the middle class in the West, just easily wealthier. Access to all the bands in...

I don't buy the argument that there are great but unknown metal bands. If a band is great (provided it has the outlet, obviously, but who doesn't with the internet) it will be known it's great. Labels will immediately jump at the chance to sign them and milk the big bucks out of them. So there's...

READ BEFORE SPEWING OFF-TOPIC WASTE: Everyone will mention their niche obscure metal band from Indonesia, Japan and Nepal, but you realize as you think for 2 seconds it's off topic. The topic isn't whether there are any metal bands at all in those areas but why as a general phenomenon it's a...

This is great. I wasn't aware of this quality reviewer on YouTube. Hopefully he grows immensely as is due in the coming period. Not necessarily physically, but, spiritually, and also in influence over world politics.

I guess you're not a disciple of that faithful Derek Roddy blast tutorial from about a decade ago. And it's open hi hat and snare at the same time here, not sure about kick, hard to discern, but I've always known it to be overhead+snare simultaneously as the main concept. That's why it sounds so...

Any wine enthusiasts here ? I'm particularly interested if I may in Aus, but also US, Saffer or any countryman from the other new world wine nations. Just would like to ask a few questions or perhaps exchange info and discuss this topic from our respective geographic locations. So - Anyone...
