The metal zone is one of the most versatile "metal pedals" out there. You can tweak the EQ and get just about any kind of sound you want, including a ripping liquid distortion. But yeah, the amp is more important.. you can add effects processors until your sound begins to sound like a mass of...

Yeah, you don't automatically get a muddy sound if you tune below Db.. such as straight C, which is In Flames tuning I'm sure you already know (Well, it was until most of their songs were written in drop A# for Reroute and STYE). I think that you have to do a lot of tweaking to get a nice...

I know there have been countless questions about how to detune your guitar and what's involved, but I'm more curious as to why bands use certain tunings than how. When I first started playing electric guitar I was in standard tuning, which I'm assuming is how everyone got started. But as I...

In case what you were saying was in direct reference to my post: I just put in a modified minor scale for example, I didn't have a guitar on me.. so you got me pardner.. I did a half ass example, just a quick run I thought sounded good.

Children of Bodom showing off their feminine side. I'm nursing a boner already. :grin:

If you have the program guitar pro (if you don't, get it, it kicks ass) you can go into their database and download some tabs of Kalmah songs. I believe they have withering away in the archive as well. It's gonna want you to register to be able to play back more than one track at a time, but the...

As opposed to Natural Born Chaos? Soilwork's albums are all classified as melodic death metal, becoming more melodic and emotional each proceeding album. Steelbath Suicide & The Chainheart Machine are both a more brutal style, heavier and without any clean singing. The music is very complex but...

Kovenant is definitely a good band to check out, especially "Animatronic" which to me has an industrial infused black-melodic-death metal sound thats catchy as shit. They got a real opera singer for the black metal chaotic voice synth, creepy as shit.

Yeah it's amazing shit. Sounds like you listen to good music too by your COB name and soilwork quote :)

Most of the nu-metal doesn't really appeal to me, except for a few select songs that are somewhat catchy. Like the new Taproot album, the song "poem" really got me, but the rest of the album is total nu-metal whiny drivel. I could never understand people's draw to Korn.. I like a couple songs...

Try listening to the song "The Scaffold Scenario". That was the one I heard that I liked.

Breed Through Me was actually the first song I heard by them that got me to buy the cd. Through amazon of course, because no one in upstate new york has ever heard of skyfire. Anyone else see this band's originality above the rest of the metal bands? It's probably the most melodic music I've...

Yeah they are pretty good, I like the vocals better than Bodom's actually. He sounds kinda like a cross between Carcass's Jeff Walker & Arch Enemy's Amott.

I like a lot of their newest album Swamplord but their first one I really couldn't get into any of it. There's a cover of skin of my teeth on that album that shows how good of a guitarist the guy is though. Their songs have a really strange vibe to them at some times, sometimes reminding me of...

Heartwork was their first album where they matured past their "grindcore" roots and became a better band, in my opinion. I guess it depends on what you like, but swansong was their last album that isn't a compilation, and it is "softer" than their earlier stuff. It has more of a progressive...
