[IntoPhagist]

only scandinavian is real? wtf does that mean...

Death - Symbolic is the best guitar sound.

 

[Zephyrus]

I think he meant that a sound like Sunlight Studios produces the most true-to-life guitar tone that isn't too digitally doctored.

 

[Hatman101]

Exodus - Impact Is Imminent
Overkill - W.F.O.
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Death - Leprosy

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I think he meant that a sound like Sunlight Studios produces the most true-to-life guitar tone that isn't too digitally doctored.

It's funny because the sound depends on electronics; namely two Boss Metal Zone distortion pedals chained together.

 

[Einherjar86]

HIBRIA- Defying the Rules
Therion- any album with Kristian Niemann playing lead
Amorphis- Eclipse

 

[Zephyrus]

Enslaved - Blodhemn

 

[blood_drunk]

Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
Blood Red Throne - Altered Genesis
Hypocrisy - Abducted, The Final Chapter
Dismember - Death Metal
Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell

and i like the tone of bands like Green Carntion, Anathema and all that stuff

 

[Omni]

Burzum - Filosofem
Blut aus Nord - The Work Which Transforms God

 

[Zephyrus]

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I'd agree.

 

[mutantllama]

Heaven and Hell fo sure.

 

[TylerTheNuke]

I hate to come across as a lame fanboy, but my favorite guitar tone of all time is meshuggah-nothing (the original, not the remaster). Meshuggah has great tone after that album too, but somehow it isn't quite as compelling.

Other ones I like:

Darkthrone- Under a Funeral Moon, A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Metallica- Master of Puppets
Suffocation- anything
Death- Human, Symbolic
Burzum- Filosofem

 

[IWP]

Exodus - Bonded By Blood

Sounds raw as fuck!
