Reference albums for Guitar Tone

As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security is by far my top one

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache is also a good one.
 
Decapitated - Organic Hallucinosis
You beat me to it man. This album sounds immaculate.

Marcus beat me to The Apostasy too. :lol:

Also...

Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague
Edge of Sanity - Infernal
Nevermore - This Godless Endevour and DHIADW (as Lasse pointed out already).
Testament - The Formation of Damnation
 
Gorefest: LaMuerte or Rise to Ruin
Walls of Jericho: Devils Amongst Us
Cannibal Corpse: Eviseration Plague
 
I'm probably going to get crucified for this...but Metallica: Load/ReLoad has some pretty good rhythm tones

Ive always dug the rhythm tones on those two albums, really big and warm!!

For me id go with

DevilDriver: These last kind words
As I Lay Dying: Shadows are Security
Chevelle: Wonder Whats Next
Breaking Benjamin: Phobia
KSE:As daylight gies (for some reason i love the mids on it)

infact i love quite alot of gtr tones, its hard to really narrow it all down!
 
Damn, I wanted to be the first to post Evisceration Plague. My dream tone, pretty much. Other than that:

Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine
ATG - Slaughter Of The Soul
Bloodbath - everything, but The Fathomless Mastery in particular.
Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride (great Marshall crunch)

and of course, The Way Of All Flesh. Kinda grainy when solo:ed (like Wolf Down The Earth), but so perfect in the mix.


EDIT: And hell yes to the Load/Reload guitars! Great production all around there.
 
For me:

Cannibal Corpse: Kill and EP
Decapitated: OH
Trauma: Determination and Neurotic Mass
Lost Soul: Chaostream and Immerse in Infinity
Aeon: Bleeding the false and Rise to dominate
Exodus:TAE A
Testament: The gathering
Caliban: The awakening
Nevermore: DHIADW
Watain-Sworn to the dark (for BM of course:lol:)
 
In Flames - Clayman
The Absence - Riders of the Plague
Lamb of God - Wrath/As the Palaces Burn
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul
The Haunted - rEVOLVEr
Gojira - From Mars to Sirius
Arch Enemy - Doomsday
Parkway Drive - Horizons
 
Nevermore - DHIADW
Arch Enemy - Doomsday Machine
