We're in drop Db....

Thrice lol

Between the Buried and Me are in C#.
Plenty of challenging riffs and compositions to get your head around.
Debut album sucks apart from a few good songs. "Alaska" and "Colors" are the ones to get IMO.
Learn White Walls, shit loads of cool riffs to learn and an epic instrumental outro section

THIS!

Just be ready to play a different riff every 10 seconds

aaand this too...

But still, awesome riffs none the less.

 

[LeoBurgg]

I'm pretty sure Bloodbath plays in C#

 

[J the TyranT]

Dark Tranquillity has a ton of shit in C# standard. If you mean drop... then I cant help you... I think Bullet for my Valentine is in drop

 

[JBroll]

am I the only one who appreciates the Silent Circus?

That album would be much more interesting if Cynic hadn't done all of the good stuff with better vocals, better instrumentation, more coherence (read: writing parts instead of playing along with a random number generator), and no trendcore vocals.

A Perfect Circle may not be metal by some stretches, but they're in C#. Behemoth, as mentioned earlier, use C# frequently. Candlemass used it on at least some of King Of The Grey Islands, and may still be doing so. Bazillions of people use Drop B as well, so if that's an option then spend a little time learning how to use drop tunings for things that aren't mindless one-finger nonsense.

Only the first EP Breeding Death is in C#, but very cool stuff to play

Candlemass used it on at least some of King Of The Grey Islands, and may still be doing so.

true, and +999 for Candlemass

e: the latest Vader stuff is also in C#

[ahjteam]

Deftones - Around the fur is in drop C#

 

[plague_rider]

Linkin Pa.... ooops!!!!

Machine head are in C# standard for most of the blackening

You are wrong, Vader are in D standard

 

[Skinny Viking]

We've always been in C# standard and I like to think we're decent

 

[Torniojaws]

Black Sabbath

 

[Force666]

Dissection (about half of Reikaos)

 

[cloy26]

I like it a lot.
But I like Alaska and Colors and also their latest even more

colors is in my top 5 albums of all time.

 

[DolphinSplatter]

hate eternal

 

[Taurean]

+1 on the hate eternal

quick correction though from the other thread: morbid angel don't tune in Db. They use Eb and Bb(7-string)

 

[Executioner213]

You are wrong, Vader are in D standard

Not on "Impressions In Blood" or on "Necropolis"

 

[Executioner213]

There's a good amount of Enslaved that is in C#.

Venom - "Resurrection" is in C#

Most Bloodbath is in some form of A tuning, be it dropped (ala Nile) or straight.

Candlemass "Nightfall" and "King Of The Grey Islands" is definitely in C#

There are some At The Gates demos in C#...they even covered "Captor Of Sin" (Slayer) in C#

Dragonlord is C#

Behemoth are using either C# or half step down on 7 strings...have been using this since "Zos Kia Kultus"

Newer Mayhem

Machine Head pretty much uses a drop tuning on every album...it was some semi-tone pitch down a whole step and dropped for the first album, and has been 1.5 steps and dropped after that (drop-B, or whatever the fuck).

Torinojaws: Good call on Sabbath...the original, mofuckas! "Master Of Reality" is almost all C#.
