Nevermore uses 7 stringed guitars. Behemoth uses them on a few songs. They are nice, i have one. the 7 strings have more range than a 6 string guitar

 

[Vacant_Planets]

Nevermore, Jag Panzer, Nocturnal Rites, Behemoth on the last album, Meshuggah, and Zero Hour.

The clear answer is Zero Hour. Listen to that shiz.

The 7th string is a low B, essentially adding a high bass guitar string to an electric guitar. It allows for interesting tunings and more bass-heavy tone.

 

[Lorem Ipsum]

John Petrucci plays 7-string. It goes well with a 5+ string bass, allowing heavy riffs on the low B. Joe Satriani plays the 7 occasionally as well... he has a song called "7 String".

 

[Gordy_gorestained]

Meshuggah. And Korn:zombie: not metal but uses them anyways.

EDIT:Shizzy, didn't see Meshuggah already listed.

Meshuggah use 8 strings, and they're bassy as fuck.
mmmmmm.... Meshuggah..

No Meshuggah has and most likely still uses 7 string guitars to create their incredibly dull music.

They used to use 7 strings, now they use 8 strings. And I love their music.

Nevborn Sleipner 8-String Guitars
Sleipner is the name of Norse God Odin's 8-legged horse, making it a good name for a scandanavian 8-stringed guitar. Fredrik Nevborn is a luthier (in Sweden I think) who builds custom guitars by special order. He has two varieties of 8-string guitars, the Sleipner I which is designed to be tuned A D G C F Bb D G (low to high), and the Sleipner XL, which is tuned F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

The Sleipner XL is used by Fredrik Thordendahl of Meshuggah. The string length is longer than that of a standard electric guitar, giving it a clear, deep sound with lots of overtones when played "clean" and it has a thunderous, gutteral low end when played with distortion. The price tag is steep at $3000 ("prices may vary due to your own setup"), but they are hand-built to order, and Nevborn will work with you to create a custom instrument.
