As a new member(but not a new fan) I wanted to make this the overall Watershed question thread since i didn't see one. My question is: What tuning was the album done in?
The Black Dahlia Murder tune pretty high and i love their sound, they sound so evil and cynical.
the DADFAE tuning in GR wins
I personally think higher tunings make a death metal band sound more cynical and evil, and low tunings make them sound like a dull nu-metal band.
Opeth's Still Life and Ghost Reveries seemed tuned pretty high, and to me, they both sound the most evil.
Dark Tranquillity always tune pretty high, and they are the most evil sounding death metal band ive ever heard dispite their not-so-evil songwriting at times.
The Black Dahlia Murder tune pretty high and i love their sound, they sound so evil and cynical.
I think there is no problem with low tunings... check Bloodbath,Hypocrisy etc. they usually tune B and sounds so fuckin' brutal. I never used higher tuning than EADGBE so I don't know how is it sounds but I think it sounds shitty On ghost reveries they used DADFAE in lot of songs ,and it sounds a bit strange i think, but Mike said it too that they used DADFAE not DADFAD
Higher than E standard you use a capo. Most of Damnation had a capo on the second fret, so it's like tuning F#BEAC#F#
You sure?
