Members Malcolm Ramone Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Heaviest band of the 80s! And, unlike most other bands that disappeared for a few years, CF returned with Monotheist, which utterly KILLS imho! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members codecontra Posted June 10, 2012 Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 Tone doesn't seem any different than most 80's metal bands to my ears. Slayer was WAY heavier sounding, just dropped down a 1/2 step. [video=youtube;a-58wdFA2S8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-58wdFA2S8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wrongnote85 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 nah dude, tom's tone is something else entirely on the first two CF records. listen to it with headphones or very loud speakers. its fat and pudgey sounding, idk. and when he does slides it just has this roar! i've always thought his tone was crazy. check out "necromantical screams" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Engl Kramer Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I always wondered the same thing- how does he do that?I think he must have used some sort of eq pedal and boosted some evil mid frequency maybe? Whatever he did I love it. These are my faves>[video=youtube;EaytIdLYtPc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaytIdLYtPc [video=youtube;plTQnzTA6Ho] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Maybe it's my speakers, but I just hear a fuzz pedal. Humbuckers through a fuzz face can get heavy like that. Maybe an old Muff. It's gonna sounds heavier than a Marshall, that's how fuzz is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Engl Kramer Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I used to have a weird solid state combo amp that was made in the 70s called a 'Londoner'. It had imputs for the whole band- sort of a 'pub amp'.Anyway it had a twist dial doodah that had 6 different filter settings on it and one of them I swear sounded like TGW.When we played gigs in those days the other bands would laugh at my {censored}ty amp while they were wheeling in their Marshalls but when I powered that {censored}er on they {censored} their pants:lol:Anyway I'm guessing that sound is pure solid state.

Members p4vl Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 So what's the secret? Recto? Did they exist then? No recto. It was an Ibanez Iceman into a Marshall 2203, tubescreamer. Same thing they used when they were Hellhammer, same thing they used on Monotheist. Oh and a wah for the, uh, leads One of the things I love about Frost is that they came up with an original sound even though they weren't excellent musicians (by their own admission). I'll take that over the Dream Theaters of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
