whats everyones opinion on the new bloodbath song " unite in pain". I think the new music is fucking brutal, but the vocals are kind of weak. I dont think they're terrible, but not even on par with PS or MA's vocals. Resurrection through carnage is such a crushing album!!

I think the vocals are pretty bad... the music just sounds like generic 90s metal to me, but drop tuned a couple steps... the guitars do have a pretty good tone I think, but seems kinda boring compared to what I'm used to lately.

Speaking of terrible vocals... how the mighty have fallen

hell yea... good shit.

this is pretty good shit too. kinda reminds me of malevolent creation with one of their old singers... drummer switches into blast beats on and off like a light switch... but better solos and clean parts. I do get bored of the common 4/4 time signature after a while.

3:38 is fuckin badass... nice guitar tone

D'oh... I'm not gonna lie. I did not read the thread. 23 pages? No freaking way. I've got the same Xiphos as Mohamed plays. Both the 6 and 7 stringed versions.

Xiphos is the model name, the guitar is an Ibanez. Lol, I wouldn't know what to do with 8 strings. I've only got 9 fingers. How do you have it tuned, GBEADGBe, or some intervalicly equivalent transposition?

Edit: Ever heard of Sleep Terror?

hope the missing finger is on your picking hand. I sliced my middle finger pad deep as fuck one day and don't have any feeling in the tip of my middle finger anymore on my fretting hand; took a while to get used to it.

yea that is the standard tuning for an 8 string but I tune a little different. I don't like that weird step between G and B...so that 7th B is drop tuned a whole step, and the 8th G is tuned normally to it... and I tune everything a half step down. Basically my style is to play with the main key on the extra 7th string in that "drop D" tuning, using the extra 8th to hit extra low notes and gnarly pinch harmonics. It also works out great because the EAEA are octaves apart and allows for easy playing and changing the scale makes you come up with new things. Moving from a 7 to an 8 string really changed my play style more than any other guitar has.

This is my tuning, but then down tune every string 1 half step
EAEADGBE

If you notice the relationship of the strings... the 8th and 7th E and A are a standard power chord... the 7th and 6th A and E is the "drop d" relation where the power chord is at the same fret on both strings, and then standard tuning the rest of the way.

I like Ibanez and played a couple 8 strings, but I just thought the Dean played and sounded better... comes with active EMG 808 pickups. The RG-8 or whatever felt pretty cheap to me. I like Jackson and Washburn too.



This is a fun song to fuck with on an 8 (or 7)
