Neosis: futuristic (?) technical metal

[Waterboy]

Quick story: I remember when I got "Fight" - their first CD - I listened to it and was really diggin' everything.
For whatever reason - I let the CD play after the last song was finished - and to my surprise I heard a hidden track.
At this time - hidden tracks weren't very common.
This particular tune had no bass in it what-so-ever. I wondered why it sounded the way it did.
But then I started experimenting with it ... adding bass here, lowering the mid-high freq's there, etc.
I ended up loving that song ... maybe because I could (kind of) manipulate the tone of the tune.

Not suggesting this is the same story with this group; but I do dig their tone a little bit.
It's definitely not your garden variety type of stuff ... and that can be fun from time to time (IMHO).

Thanks for the introduction to them.
Take care

Scott

I'm glad some people are finding this interesting. Concerning the technique, what did they do to the guitars? Abrupt high and low passes (cutting almost all the lows and highs)?

 

[>>>GENZ<<<]

Is it a joke?

8bit metal has come?

I am really digging the production, music is boring the shit out of me though. Musically it's just a really really shitty periphery/meshuggah impression, a REALLY REALLY shitty one.

I still think that this whole machine-like atmosphere has already been literally perfected. Meshuggah - Catch Thirty-Three will never be beaten at its own game.

Inevitable that all mixes in the future will sound like this? no bass and shit kick sounds If thats true, I might as well give up trying to be a AE now haha

i wasn't talking about the mix at all

i was talking about music

They sound more like Etna than Sybreed imo

Most definitely. Though nobody knows Etna, unfortunately. I think I started a thread about them once.

OT, but can't wait for them to release their album! They're called something else now, Breach The Void.

 

[Dexter_prog]

Breach The Void sounds more like Scar Symmetry or any new melodic death metal band to me .

Blasphemy!

I love Digital Structure, cool rhythmic playing in there.

The guitar tone doesn't bother me too much. I think there's a couple little cool things going on at times in that song (mostly background guitar textures), but an awful lot of it is pretty boring (and I love Meshuggah, so it's not because of the djent). The lack of low end, and the thinness of the drum sound is by far what bothers me most. And I really don't think it's entirely "supposed" to sound that way, as in an experienced engineer distinctly chose to make the mix sound that way...I think it's more a case of a guy doing the best he can, and there being some significant shortcomings in the finished result.

When I heard a few seconds of this, I was thinking that this had some kind of old radio, lo fi, telephone effect in the begining. But I was wrong and the mix sucks donkey ballsuke:

^ Yeah I was definitely waiting for it to "explode" as it were.
