Members Chrisjd Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 What are these guys tuning to and what bridge pickups are they using? This is the best song off the album, take a listen:[video=youtube;F8Y73-wNDbc] Another amazing one, although it is obviously Meshuggah inspired[video=youtube;1pskj9sbffg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murdock Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 i want to see them play ji, scarlet, or luck as a constant live can't figure out how spencer hits those crazy high notes with his vocals. by the way, facepalm mute is dope but i think luck as a constant is the best song on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khoifish321 Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 definitely my favorite album of the year, I've been listening to it non-stop. I don't think there's a single song on there that I don't like. Luck as a Constant, Have a Blast, and Ji are probably my top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MadKeithV Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 It reminds me of Sikth at times. Starting to dig the vocals too, though I get why they are so goddamn polarizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nolly Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 Glad you like the record. Those songs you linked are in drop Ab (7-string), and we mainly used Bare Knuckle Holy Diver and Aftermath bridge pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jnurp Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 that track make total destroy is friggin amazing. Nolly how long have you been in the band and you're playing bass with them? is it hard to collaborate because they are from here in the states and you are in Europe?

Members nightflameauto Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 You know, I had the preorder t-shirt/CD pack show up several weeks back and haven't even gotten around to opening the CD yet. I have been wearing the shirt around though. It's just been a busy summer. I'm gonna have to take an hour or so and give it a listen sometime soon.

Members MattACaster Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think Make Total Destroy, Have Blast and Scarlet are my favorites but the whole album is amazing. I don't think I've stopped listening to it since it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 Glad you like the record. Those songs you linked are in drop Ab (7-string), and we mainly used Bare Knuckle Holy Diver and Aftermath bridge pickups. Wasn't the first album a crunch lab/ liquifire combo?

Members Nolly Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wasn't the first album a crunch lab/ liquifire combo? Not quite, the 7-string tracks were done with Misha's JP7 with the original pickups those guitars sold with (pre D-sonic, etc). The 6-string songs, all leads and most layers were tracked with a Cold Sweat bridge, Painkiller neck set in his Blackmachine B2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Santuzzo Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 I like this , the only thing I personally don't like in this modern kind of metal style are the pop vocals in the choruses. Just my 2c, but I'm simply not a big fan of the concept verse-heavy as {censored}, chorus-pop. Not my cup of tea (or coffee) I guess I do love the guitars, though.

Members OverDriven Posted August 7, 2012 Members Share Posted August 7, 2012 The singer seems to think that he's singing in a Broadway musical rather than a rock band. Besides that it's pretty awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted August 8, 2012 Members Share Posted August 8, 2012 I thought the cd was incredible when I heard it. Then I got spotify and discovered 15 other bands playing the exact same genre and style. Basically I'm in musical bliss lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted August 8, 2012 Members Share Posted August 8, 2012 Am I the only one that heard a little Greg Puciato here and there in the vocals? Just a few spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dehumanize Posted August 8, 2012 Members Share Posted August 8, 2012 ill be dead honest ive hated everything about this band so far but that song they have a music video is great the vocals still arent my thing but he sound like as much of a sissy as he did on the last record. much better production on the vocals here and suites the music better. i might have to check out this album, it could grow on me.

Members rushtallica Posted August 8, 2012 Members Share Posted August 8, 2012 Sounds awesome. I'm still not into the pop-ish vocal parts, but the vocals have definitely improved. IMO the heavier vocal parts sound pretty good -- definitely much better than most vocals that sound like someone suffering the unrelenting torture of chronic stool patrol, inescapably stuck in hardcore push mode with no end in sight. But even though I'm not into the popier vocal parts, this forum's made me realize some people prefer that vocal style. I say if you're going to go with it, do it well and continue to develop it, and it seems that's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
