I've always wondered...

What's your favorite production(s) where the guitars are in Standard E? No seven strings, please. I figured most of the stuff I listen to for referencing my mixes are tuned really low. My band does Standard D but we plan to move up to Standard E for that high-end 'raunchy-ness'

Thanks.

DB's Deathcult Armageddon is one. Sexy.

This even though it may be Drop D, but still close enough.

Many of my favourite productions are in Eb, like the Slayer records Andy Wallace worked on. But also quite a few Dave Jerden productions.

Are we strictly talking metal? If that's the case...

Metallica - Black album
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
Trivium - The Crusade
John Petrucci - Suspended Animation

(and I know not every track from the mentioned albums is tuned to Standard E, but many of them are)

Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos

but seriously....

Dissection - SOFTLB and the Somberlain
Obituary - Slowly we rot

calculating infinity - Dillinger Escape plan (43% burn't OMG!!!)

Also in Eb, but Nevermore's POE and DNB are pretty damn yummy. Even though there were slight mastering issues with the latter one.

Wow. Went back and listened to Endgame to verify. That guitar tone is SOOOOO huge and heavy for being E Standard.

Josh said it was E standard, but I guess I could be mistaken.
