Adagio

[control-denied777]

i love franck's sweep technique (very clean and fast) by the way his stage presene is just like john myung(kinda lame)

 

[Lord_Tarod]

He uses a 6 string? 6 string basses are crazy.

Yep, he uses a Yamaha TRB-6P II... Sweeeeeet!

 

[turke]

The bigger the bass, the more you are noticed on stage

 

[Horus]

Examples:
Les Claypool
John Myung
That one guy with a Seven String Bass
The bassist from Spinal Tap

I have a stupid question. Is Sanctus Ignis a Concept album?

I have a stupid question. Is Sanctus Ignis a Concept album?

I don't think so... some of the lyrics are related to the Holy Trinity, the Virgin Mary and pseudo-religious stuff (I hope I'm not offending anyone)... but no concept at all, I think.

 

[Horus]

Okay.

Underworld sounded too much technic-ish for my taste. I believe the songs from Sanctus Ignis sound more natural. Though both records are astouning. I haven't listened to their new release, yet. Very anxious, though.

Bump!

Tell me, is their keyboardist THAT great? I know he fucking kicks ass in the studio but I haven't seen their live performance. I just wanna know cause there seems to be lots of hype going on about this guy.

I have an Adagio album somewhere, but I lost it :'( I remember thinking that it was a bit over the top technically, but there were some kick ass parts that really got to me. And I remember generally enjoying the album. A shame I can't remember what it was, lol.

 

[Iced Dog]

Dominate is their best album IMO...Gus Monsanto does an awesome job of mixing soaring clean vox with some very cool growls...and the music is a little catchier and heavier. A quote from the band concerning the upcoming album Archangels In Black...

"the overall vibe is very dark and massive, the band came back to a more orchestral style of composition but kept the heavyness of songs like 'Dominate' or 'Children Of the Dead Lake' from the previous album"

Adagio myspace

 

[snakeey11]

when exactly is the new album due out?

 

[Iced Dog]

Early 2007...an exact date hasn't been revealed yet that I'm aware of

 

[Horus]

It still feels like they just released Dominate not too long ago, and they're already releasing another album.
I actually really wanna see them do a US tour. Too bad they don't seem to have many US fans....

Maybe they can open for Sym X on their US tour

Maybe they can open for Sym X on their US tour

That would be the pinnacle of win.

I'm glad MrFast resurrected this thread, because I just got into Adagio!

I've only listened to Sanctus Ignis and Underworld once, and while I like them, I think Dominate is their best work. It's like a perfect mix of Symphony X and Opeth! I can't stop listening to Children of the Dead Lake and R'lyeh the Dead.

By the way, does anyone know where I can find bass tabs for the Dominate album? Their bass player is sick! Terror Jungle and Children of the Dead Lake have these awesome bass runs in them!

 

[Anonymous]

You'd have to ask the man himself for that one..

 

[MorphineChild205]

I took an hour and figured out the bass for R'lyeh the Dead...if anyone wants it, ask me!

Can anyone help with the bass fill @ 1:21 in Children of the Dead Lake?
