I wanted to prove to my friend that you can do death metal in E-standard, and this is how it turned out. Not complete though, but it will be someday.

Sounds good!

 

[barricade]

Add some drive to the bass for more br00talz! i like it btw

 

[korpse pop]

Sounds good, but more like thrash / heavy metal tone than real death metal. Riffs sound a lot like Symphony X. Does there exist any death metal bands that play in E standard btw? Loads of bands are in drop D or eb, but standard e?

 

[zakky]

sounds nice......details on guitars-amp?

I se no ones heard of Opeth? Hahaha.. they are part Death metal, but I know a lot of people may argue how "authentic" Opeth are when it comes to Death Metal.... also that track is awesome, you gotta finish it man, I love it!

 

[zer0_c00l]

Yes, I know that most of Opeth songs are in E Standart!

I get amazed everytime i see a metal band that plays in E Standart nowadays..

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

Do it testament and tune half steps up But really thumbs up for the tuning! And graet playing too

 

[ooidort]

-New verse
-Tweaked the bass

Sounds really good!

Lots of Opeth is E standard, I know Sylosis and Norther have most of their stuff in that tuning as well. If anyone knows of any others, I'd really be interested, looking for some stuff to play!

holy shit!

this riffage is so good!
and also your former songs are sick!
i LOVE the vocals.
they really sound like randy blythe, which is so fuckin' awesome!!

keep up!

 

[nishthefish]

This sounds so frickin' killer! Vocals are awesome as well! did you do them yourself?
AD preset pls? kthnxbai!

no seriously, though... the drums sound awesome for AD! Did you replace the snare or kick?

 

[Finsmi]

This was fuckin' awesome!

Can't see why there's not more people who understand that instruments sound better in original tuning

Thanks!

I haven't replaced any samples whatsoever. What I've done is that I've layered two separate kits. I can post the presets here in a sec.

And yes, it's me singing.

Edit-
Addictive Drums presets:

-SET_1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5798359/SET_1.ADPreset
-SET_2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5798359/SET_2.ADPreset

1. Open two separate AD plugins
2. Load the presets
3. Make/Copy the midi to both of the tracks

I wouldn't really classify this as "death metal" but it kicks ass nonetheless.

 

[ooidort]

Yeaaaaaah, me neither, but I couldn't think of a similar genre with growl-type vocals so I went with that.

 

[SimonSez]

I think it sounds great. It's harder to get good tones in E-standard so I think that's why many stay away from it. When it's done right it sounds awesome.

 

[ballstix]

That sounds really good dude. Mind posting the exact signal chain for the guitars? I've never been able to get the 8505 to sound that good.
