Members Neodysseus Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 They executed everything flawlessly and had a great sound. Muhammed does most of the fills and his solos are the predominantly sweep and tapping ones. The new guy was just as much if, not more impressive, he takes the more melodic solos...then sweeps and taps:D . Not too much sequencing in the actual solos, but that's what riffs like that are for I suppose. No improvisation away from the albums to speak of. It's almost all harmonic minor, diminished and whole tone here, for those not familiar with the band. Stephan and Hans in the rhythm section are death metal MACHINES. Much more enjoyable than straight 16th note double kick or blasting the whole time, I'll take these guys over CC or Hate Eternal anyday (seen them too, a few times). They opened with Stabwound and I remember them playing Ignomious and Pale, Foul Body Autopsy, Seven, Extreme Unction, Epitaph and Fermented Offal Discharge...like 2 or 3 more songs I don't recall (too many beverages and hanging out). I talked to all of them, Muhammed's 30, everybody else ranges from 23 (the drummer, who didn't trigger that I saw or heard this night) to 26 (the bassist), Muhammed's the only one with a dayjob...something in computers, don't remember. They're all very polite and reserved and speak English well, Hans' vocabulary is more limited though. They're totally psyched about being in America again and after this...they're coming back through with another line-up, and finally will make the rounds a 3rd time supporting Cannibal, if I understood them correctly. They left the Vigier's at home, Muhammed had a BC Rich Stealth, the other guy had a European Rhoads (not a Ran). Engl Savages (horziontal bars in the grill?), everything around 12 o'clock, but the gain is more around 3. Racked G major's with their own presets (scrolling Necrophagist, heheh) and ISP Decimators. 2 Vader straight 4x12's each and that's it. Simple but VERY effective. If you like tech death, check 'em out while they're here. If not, bugger off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mightyjoeyoungxnj Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Awesome dude...May 29th I will see them finally. I've been waiting for so long, fuck the haters. The pics from the New England Metal Fest show them playing Engl SEs. I wonder if they bought em or are borrowing while they are here...Hmmm. Regardless, I'm psyched as hell. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Megadeth7684 Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 They might have been playing Blackmore's. I've seen their old guitarist use one. I wonder why Muhammed didn't have his E860? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Inearthed Posted May 7, 2006 Members Share Posted May 7, 2006 Gear / setup report for the Seattle show... Necrophagist...Muhammed - BC Rich Stealth, TC Electronic G-Force (with Necrophagist scrolling across), Peavey 5150 II (a friend of mine took a snapshot of the settings I will get it from him and post them), ISP Decimator ProRack G was in his rack but turned off, Vader 4x12 Fullstack. Muhammad didn't use a noisegate, just switched to his clean channel whenever he wasn't playing. Interestingly enough Stefan (bass) switched between Muhammed's different effects patches for him (at least tonight). Sami - Amfisound Custom RR, ISP Decimator ProRack G, TC Electronic G-Major, ENGL SE, Vader 4x12 Fullstack All other touring bands used the Vader Fullstacks for their cabs. Arsis.Jim - Rocktron Voodoo Valve (whatever it is called) and a QSC power amp, Pink RG550 w/EMGs (with a hairtie at the locking nut to help mute the strings) Other guy - Rocktron Voodoo Valve, some other rack gear, but I didn't get a good look at it NeuraxisWill - Jackson Professional Dinky, Boss GT-6 into Muhammed's 5150II. Rob - Neckthru BC Rich with a normal body shape (not sure the model), 5150. AlarumGuy #1 - Steinberger of some sort, Digitech 2120 into a 5150IIGuy #2 - No clue on his gear, but he was running into a 5150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, flying with such large equipment can get $$$. Also, say they lost their 860s, they are {censored}ed since they are out of production. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
