Yeah Derek Roddy is a stupidly fast drummer, my mate practically wants to suck his balls, he's a member of his forums too. I think he's amazing but amazingly boring to watch, especially when he's doing those drum "solos", if they were that fast and creative then it'd be great but it's just not.

Also, I don't think Jaska gets enough credit. Sure, his beats aren't exactly the most interesting things in the world, and they're mainly based on 3/4/6, but he can play at 200+ with great ease, and has been doing so since he was like 13 in InEarthed.

Derek Roddy is really creative. That's why I like him.

123. I Monarch is becoming one of my favorite death metal albums.

I found an excellent Symphonic/gothic/bm band from poland and I'm dl two albums.
The band is called Darzamat. \m/

I honestly don't like Jaska much. Granted what you say is fully true. I still don't find him interesting. Though there are some fills on the hatebreeder album that are tight. He's got his moments.

Roope > Janne > Alexi > rest of sinergy/bodom

Listen to the WHOLE Beware The Heavens album from Sinergy. Before alexi joined.

Listen to Roope's leads and solos. Then tell me Alexi is better.

I'll download it.

[AA-12]

Dylan would be proud.

[MRDuCran]

\m/

Well I'm not going to go buy it, I might hate the music.

Plus, I've been doing loads of downloading since I got a hard drive that's larger than 4GB.

[AA-12]

I have 750 gigs of HDD and now I don't DL anything.

[MRDuCran]

That's like the guy who made the computer for me, he said after a while you get bored of downloading and just have all that space doing nothing.

[Shattered_Future]

We have abot 170 GB of space left, and my dad's getting mad at me because I'm taking up space. THERE'S A REASON THE HARD DRIVE IS SO BIG.

[MRDuCran]

How big is it originally?

[Shattered_Future]

250 GB. I think after all the formatting and programs that came with it/that were on my old computer and crap, it was about 200.

[MRDuCran]

170GB is alot on its own, let alone having that left from a 250!!

I've still got 203 which probably go down pretty rapidly...ish.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I have a 200 external and 20gig in the computer.

[Nepenthe]

I had 160gb original and filled it up in about 3 months. I just got a 400gb a few days ago. I love it.

Anyway, bed time for mez.
you're writting a "Gothenburg"-style-song?! HOW do yo do it? i'm just curious, cause gothenburg = melodic death metal, the only difference is that in gothenburg you scream more and growl less... as far as i'm not wrong.

[AA-12]

Gothenburg just has a different sound than melo-death. Almost industrial influence I believe.

[repcak]

no, no... i listen a lot industrial-music and know what industrial is. there are no industrial-elements in gothenburg. no, never. a lot of ppl think industrial = electronic elements in music, but this is wrong... soo wrong. don't make this mistake.

and yes gothenburg has a different sound, but i would like to know, what exactly are the differences between them.

[MRDuCran]

you're writting a "Gothenburg"-style-song?! HOW do yo do it? i'm just curious, cause gothenburg = melodic death metal, the only difference is that in gothenburg you scream more and growl less... as far as i'm not wrong.

Well I don't mean it's specifically Gothenburg, but ok, melodic death metal style.

I put the guitars in B standard, used a 16th note riff at 140bpm and put a Slayer type beat to it, just reminded me of something AtG would do, so I just said it was that style.

At the Gates used to really be my thing.

Now theyre dull as hell.

What music DO you actually find interesting??

[IheartSP]

AtG isn't really Gothenburg. They tread the line but I think of them as more Melodic Death. Gothenburg doesn't have an industrial influence, later Dark Tranquillity does but that's just their style, not the whole genre's. Gothenburg has a lot of elements of Thrash in it, but much more Melodic. Think Thrash with harmonized guitars, lot's of tremolo picking, blast beats, double bass, and just an overall melodic sound.

Early In Flames and any Dark Tranquillity is a good example.

[AA-12]

Thrash > Gothenburg.

It's true, it's true :p

[MRDuCran]

I guess I just said Gothenburg because that's where In Flames are from, and they're kinda in that style too. I really don't care what exact genre bands are, as long as I like them it doesn't matter to me. I can't really seem to get into In Flames but I do love Take This Life and Dead End.

Dark Tranquility, I like a few of their songs. I think one is Black Noise, White Silence, that's cool. I have alot of DT and AtG songs, I just haven't really dedicated enough time to listen to them properly.

[TEST]

Thrash > Gothenburg.

It's true, it's true :p


Lies! :p

[Dash]

Why the hell do you need a 200gb or 300gb harddrive? Cant any of you limit yourself maybe go out and buy atleast a few cds?

[MRDuCran]

I buy all the cds of bands I like, I download stuff I've never heard before so then i CAN hear it to see if I like it. I use most of my space for videos.

[AA-12]

[Shattered_Future]

Gothenburg seems to contain a lot more atmospheric stuff in it, from what I've heard.

And anything > ATG. Somebody needs to shoot Tomas for his crappy *** vocals.

I listen to them for the music. I'm not mad on the vocals, but they'll probably grow on me if I listen to them more.

Five Nails Through the Neck.

Mental riffage and that vomit scream is classic.


Although, most of that album is brilliant riffing; it's really hard to choose a favorite. EAch song has so many good parts, so it's REALLY hard to decide. Which is what you really want from an album, really :)

[MRDuCran]

Ugh Cannibal Corpse.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6455471444605708420&q=cannibal+corpse

Thanks, that was pretty cool.

It's definately tighter than the live videos I've seen, which is pretty much what I was going by when I said what I did. I have to say it's not the type of music I'd want to listen to all day though but that's the most technical CC song I've seen/heard.

[Squirrel]

No prob dude.

If you give their work a close listen, especially with a GP or powertab file, lots of it is on a par with that, or just below. Theyve got a very distinct technical edge.

That may come off as sloppy live with the tone they use.

[MRDuCran]

Yeah maybe it is the tone. I think it was that live Cannibalism dvd thing that I saw. Alsi, listening to Necrophagist makes them sound sloppy because Muhammed's tone is pretty tight.

[Squirrel]

Thats a point.

But part of their sound is their buzzsaw, rough, sandpaper tone, layered over the wall of sound bass.

It's just a different sound approach that imo, sounds a lot better.

I wouldnt call Live Cannibalism sloppy, but I can see where you're coming from.

[MRDuCran]

I can understand that that distinctive tone is part of what draws people to them.

Like when people say bad production adds to the atmosphere of black metal, but I just think when music reaches that certain point of techanicality, it should be of the higest quality so you can make it out, that probably explain why Annihilation of the Wicked is the only Nile album I can listen to.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, Technical Music needs generally needs good production. Especially if it's Techy Brutal DM type stuff.

[MRDuCran]

Exactly, especially if it's got super crazy drums over it and loud, deep growls and screams. High speed also could make it sound unaudiable.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Bad production is the main reason why Black Seeds Of Vengeance sucks.

[Squirrel]

Definately, that's why tech DM albums tend to have such a precise, honed and sharp sound; to get the technicality through.

Otherwise its just sludge.

I've seen taht video before. It's quite impressive.


haha that bassist (forgot his name is insane)

[IheartSP]

I've always been a firm believer that Cannibal Corpse is the worst Metal band of all time, but I've only heard their really early stuff, i.e. I Cum Blood.

[Shattered_Future]

I just find Corpsegrinder's face one of the funniest things ever when he's doing his growls. It looks like he's trying to crap his whole skull out of his ***.

Oh, and the fact that the first two songs on Gallery Of Suicide start EXACTLY THE SAME kinda turns me off from them. Haven't bothered to listen beyond that.

It's a shame that all COB related topics have been discussed already...
I haven't posted for a long time...
I got me a V-Amp2...
That's all I have to say...

[MRDuCran]

Sound good?

[Forlorn Hope]

Yea, sounds pretty good. A lot better than using the crappy mic like before anyway. Worth the $100 I think. Haven't made any major recording with it yet though. I also picked up a BBE Sonic Maximizer Plug In so my recordings should sound a lot better.

[MRDuCran]

Have you heard MetalJonus's recordings with his V-amp??

I don't actually like his tones at all but maybe you listen to different music so you'll go for something heavier, or drier.

I've about that BBE Sonic Maximizer Plug In on here quite alot but I have no idea what it is.

[Forlorn Hope]

h3y itz lyk chad
???

The Sonic Maximizer does something along the lines of equalizing all the sound waves or something, I'm not sure. All I know is that it makes everything sound better and more proffessional...so I'm not complaining.

Metaljonus' rythmn tones arent that great, but good enough for me when recording. I love the lead tones that come out of the V-Amp though. The cleans are pretty good too when adding just a bit of chorus and delay.

[AA-12]

I'm thinking of getting a Maximizer soon.

[AA-12]

:o!

[MRDuCran]

When you say plug in, what's it an extension of, or is it actually a piece of hardware?

[Forlorn Hope]

If anyone wants the Maximizer Plug-In email me cause I already agreed to send it to one person.

Plug In isnt an actual piece of hardware. Its just a file. Basically I just put it in the Cool Edit Pro 2.1 folder and it shows up as an effect after clicking "refresh effects"

Only songs I care about seeing live again would be, SNBN, ADK & Needled.

@ Mitch. Yes I hate Death as well. /unites

[The Buttloaves]

When I saw Nevermore at Jaxx, the opener was a local band called Apothys, and they were awesome. Their set got cut a 'bit' short, by 20 minutes, which was teh ghey, but whatever. Anyways, I had never actually heard Death until they covered 'Crystal Mountain' I think it was, or something similar. But it was awesome. This is their MySpace:
http://www.myspace.com/apothys
That song isn't on there, but their originals are, a few of you may like them.

Who do you find technical and interesting??
Cynic
Psycroptic
Coroner
Watchtower (though it's been ages since I listened to them)

Yeah definately not a great selection of songs if they want to impress people that haven't heard them.


@ Mitch. Yes I hate Death as well. /unites

At least someone else understands.

Cynic
Psycroptic
Coroner
Watchtower (though it's been ages since I listened to them)
Pestilence
Sadus
Toxik

I have a few Cynic and Psycroptic songs on here, but once again that bad production turns me off of it straight away. If they recorded an album that sounded like Nile's AoTW, I'd probably be able to hear it better.

I know Watchtower is other bands with Ron Jarzombek in, but I haven't any of their material, just the Spastic Ink stuff. I'm practising The Mad Dash, it's great.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Save the first album, Psycroptic don't have bad production :confused:

Crystal clear production isn't really a necessity for Cynic like it is for Nile or Necrophagist, though.

[AA-12]

Cynic has pretty good production anyway.

[MRDuCran]

Ok I just realised I don't have any Cynic on here.

There is Psycroptic though.

Outside of In Your Face. It's not even a catchy song list. That's the odd part. Most of the time, when bands don't play their best works. They try to play the catchy stuff, then again Alexi is so drunk.....everything....sounds....so...catchy....e xcept...goss......

Psycroptics production is great, its crystal clear, polished and very honed.

/is happy because of on-topic discussion :D

[Kurrpt]

I almost have bed of razors at 100%


the pathetic part is the rhythm sections are the hardest part for me :lol:


not that they are hard at all, i just work WAY too much on lead work

[repcak]

so, we can expect a record soon?

(ps.: and never say "i nailed" when Mitch is around :p)

[Kurrpt]

not sure. My friend is borrowing/ is gonna buy my recording equipment (GNX4 + microphone)

my singer and i are going to the shop tomorrow to possible purchase something actually. If i can find anything to record with, ill just record the hard bits and post them.


edit : if i say i "nailed" a section, i really did. I know the difference anyway.

I finally "nailed" my favorite part of the song. Not the taps, those were easy. Im talking about the fast descending run after the chorus theme. Here, i was playing it in triplets, which essentially is correct, but if you listen to the recording, he actually phrases the passages in sextuplets. Once i realized that, the light bulb went on, and i get excited whenever i play it

[MRDuCran]

I haven't actually listened to Children of Bodom in a few weeks. I've been so busy doing college work, and downloading crap from other bands etc. And practising for a performance, I should get back to it though 'cause they're great.

[repcak]

i have always phases when i listen a lot to cob then i don't listen to them for several weeks.

Same with me...still haven't gotten back into COB mode yet. It's been mostly trying to write my own music recently.

[TEST]

I've dropped writing my own music. It got old.
So has guitar though. I still enjoy playing, but it's not the same.
Got a new geetar though
ESP H-250 and it's autographed by Megadeth (I like em somewhat, though it's surely an excellent resale (if I ever sold the guitar).

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I rarely have the urge to write original material.

[repcak]

i fail in writting whole songs... i have always an idea, write it in GP4, but then i fail making the interludes and build the whole song... to make it longer, to write some more riffs which would fit into the song, etc.

mostly i write one riff, maybe two - put them together and thats all. :-/ most "songs" i wrote are not longer than 15seconds

[repcak]

i just discovered a band from graz (a city some 100km away from vienna). the singer/guitarist is 18 years old, keyboarder 14 or 15yrs old.
they are really nice, though i only listened to one song by them ... and they sound like CoB :)

There seems to be some potential There/

[repcak]

yeah, they seem to be great. though i have to say that they are some mistakes on the song , but i'm not sure... curious what Mitch and Kurrpt will say to the song.

i will stay in contact with the lead-guitarist/singer of the band ... its amazing how i discovered them. i already asked him how i can purchase their cd

[AA-12]

That band is pretty good. I like them more than CoB actually.

[repcak]

do not hyperbolic

[repcak]

the riff from 2:15 till 2:23 is taken from kalmah... can you hear the similarities? its not exactly the same riff, but the same chords and timing.

[TEST]

So only Kalmah can play in (fill in the timing)?

[repcak]

no, but the riff was very similar to a riff by kalmah (don't know which song); they didn't "stole" it 100%, but its nearly the same riff - they mixed it up a little bit.

They're ok imo.

The lead bit at 11 secs sounds like it's taken from Downfall and modified a bit.

I agree it sounds a lot like Kalmah, not really like Bodom if you ask me. I mean it's the same instruments and screaming but the whole atmosphere isn't the same.

[AA-12]

I actually like this band way more than Kalmah, Bodom, etc. The vocals are awesome, very black metalish.

[Shadows Within]

Hey Wotan or fannk castle did you ever go to your guitar center and find out what that keyboard stand is called?

[AA-12]

I haven't been to that one in a while, sorry man. Check this out though: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/key/navigation?N=100001+304711

[MRDuCran]

I went through the Slient Night, Bodom Night solo today and got it pretty close. I can do all of it except the run from the low E to the high E, bend the 24th fret bit.
And I have to freshen up on a few notes but apart from that it was close.

[AA-12]

My guitar/size makes that solo hard.

[MRDuCran]

I can understand that.

I was going through it on my Warlock so it felt easy, but if I was to record it, I'd use my RG770 which has an old neck joint so I can hardly reach the 24th fret, let alone bending it up 1 1/2 steps easily with vibrato

[TEST]

Wow. I put new strings on my geetar. haha. It's soo amazing.

[Forlorn Hope]

I haven't re-strung my guitar for about two months. I need to though, the high e has that weird shaky sound when I hold out a note, especially on higher frets.

[blue3]

I can't believe that's your avatar. I haven't changed the guitar strings for one of my guitars, ever.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've changed the strings on my acoustic once in the three years I've had it.

I'm not a huge Megadeth fan for the record. I enjoy some of their tunes, no doubt. Though not a top 50 band of mine. My lastfm tells me they're my 96th favorite band. (total plays)


^^ Quoted for truth. and fukk double posts

stfu! It plays sooo amazing. Bridge is great, I can just rest my hand and picking is effortless.

[MRDuCran]

Has the same bridge as my Warlock, nearly.

I hate BC Rich. I've heard American Made BC RICH are nice though.

I love the bridge. It sounds/plays amazing. I went way up in price range too, it was 450

[MRDuCran]

Everyone hates BC Rich because it's the "cool" thing to do. Over half of them have never even touched one though. Everyone that has played mine has said it's better than theirs. Plus, Chuck Schuldiner and Muhammed Suicmez have used them, and there's no denying that Muhammed owns everyone on MX, twice, or more.

I don't hate them because "it's cool". I've played BC Rich's from cheap (99 bucks) all up through 699. I've hated them all.

The body. The picking action. I just don't like em.

[MRDuCran]

Fair enough. One guitar I had to get used to was an SG. The bridges are so far forward in comparison, I still owned the guy who's guitar it was but I definately wouldn't buy one, plus I don't like their look.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like my Warlock. I would have rathered an ESP or Jackson, but being left handed I didn't really have much of a choice.

/just listen to Psycroptic... wow... they are great :thumb:

[Squirrel]

High end BC Rich are decent but you can do much much better for the money.

Stop making blanket statements that 'most people have never played one' or 'its the cool thing to do'. Nice use of wiesel words.

So ****ing what if a couple of good players played them, that still doesnt make them a good brand.



Psycroptic pwn, Tasmania ftw.

Alot of the people in the guitar forum that claim to hate BC Richs haven't played them, they just say they look ugly and go by what others say.

Fact is, my BC Rich is awesome whether people want to accept that or not.

[AA-12]

Passing off a guitar because they think it's ugly IS a plausible reason though.

[MRDuCran]

Some would argue since music is about using your ears, but I for one agree. I don't want to be on stage with an ugly piece of crap that sounds good, when I could get a nice looking guitar that sounds good.

Warlock's and Beast's look good imo.

[AA-12]

Yeah, when it comes to guitar, it's something that you're going to be around and see everytime you play it, so you might aswell have it look good.

[TheUnavoidable]

About the DVD, it sounds killer. Patric always does fantastic things. The only lame thing about it though is that they day after that gig, when I saw them they played the exact same setlist only with Follow The Reaper aswell. =/

[MRDuCran]

They've been changing a few songs, like swapping 3-4.

[repcak]

in the last two days i discovered a lot of great bands who are coming from austria!

ever heard of 'Daylight Torn'? some years ago they had a breakthrough with their debut cd and were on tour even with paradise lost and therion. they make goth-rock/metal. the funny thing is, that one of the band members went to my school and is some 5yrs older than me. i still remember him when i was 13/14 and he graduaded from school... its awesome.

Normally with one or two, I'd be getting higher speeds than that.
