recording of TGE...

[derek]

Well said, in addition to being much better the 6 string albums were also much more consistent.

In what respect?

AND surely it is subjective opinion on whether the 6 or 7 string albums are best?

I'm not disagreeing, just curious as to your reasoning.

C#, maybe

yeah, it was C#. NOT to be confused with Drop-C#

It's like tuning to drop-B, but the low B is being tuned to C#...
ie. from standard tuning 3 steps down

 

[kmanick]

Seed awakening is in normal tuning 1/2 a step down (E flat) and the low E is dropped to C#, So Drop D tuning a 1/2 a step down, so Is Create the Infinite and so is Psalm of Lydia. lets not confuse the poor guy shall we?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmheehe

Every nevermore song recorded with guitars is trash.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

yeah ophidian is my favorite nevermore song for that reason

 

[Karmic]

dhiadw was recorded in an engine room

 

[raeon]

Every nevermore song recorded with guitars is trash.

LOL!!

EDIT: By the way.. does anyone think that DHIADW was very Fear Factory influenced? Engines Of Hate <-> "Machines Of Hate".
And not to mention Narcosynthesis' rythm.. I like the album though..

Goddamn fuckin 2nd edit: nevermind about Narcosynthesis. Loadsa other bands now use these kinds of things like the synced kicks and riffs.

I'm actually glad jeff switched to 7 strings, because without it we wouldn't have today TGE which is their best work yet imho. It took jeff a while to "accomodate" himself to the extra string and the possibilities of the range of hte 7 string guitar. For example EoR is more complex in the use of the 7th string, yet not using it alone, than dead heart. And TGE just pwns everything else. Probably TGE is my all time favorite metal album, followed by justice, arise nad PoE. And i really love the psalm of lydia, great song. They should play it live next tour (along with every other song from TGE and POE)

I dislike some of the guitar stuff on DHIADW where it gets a bit too influenced by groove/core-ish bands like Pantera and Fear Factory, mostly Narcosynthesis, Inside Four Walls and the first distorted riff in the title track. The killer vocal melodies and solos well make up for it though.
The way he uses the seven string on TGE is fucking amazing though. Awesome riffs and leads all over the place, and it's possibly the most ripping sound I've yet heard from Loomis in terms of both the distortion and production sound.

 

[flying_whale]

also the guitar work on all strings on ambivalent is pure awesomeness. They should play it next tour also

 

[stefan86]

yeah ambivalent is nuts. the riffage is weird as hell and the solo is well.. Loomis

 

[flying_whale]

yeah ambivalent is nuts. the riffage is weird as hell and the solo is well.. Loomis

jeff should be kept away from any kind of phone calling mecanisms when nevermore is recording an album

[Karmic]

I like the squiggly sounds on Evolution 169

 

[flying_whale]

why no one remembered the thread aobut jeff calling people......

 

[Karmic]

because we're ignoring you trying to make what was once a decent joke redundant?

Well yeah, that's basically why I'm such a retardedly huge Nevermore fan (vocals, solo's, Loomis), and TGE is without doubt one of the best 7-string albums in history of metal!

Oh fuck.. I think I missed a thread arround here... Jeff calling people?
