drat, tomorrow is looking absolutely barren as far as releases go. All I've got is a Merzbow release and a brutal death album on the docket.

Also Trevor from BDM is a cool dude. Hes come out to see us both times we played Detroit.

Thanks, but I meant a bit more detailed rundown, like say, what was a guitar or bass signal chain like.

Man I'm pretty incompetent. I'm not much of a gear guy. I pretty much only run through a volume pedal->ISP Decimater noise gate->Carbon Copy(that I turn on for rare weird parts)->5150 Cabs.

I think my other guitarist runs through some sort of equalizer pedal and uses a chorus pedal once in a while for weird sounding parts, also through 5150. Neither of us are too pedal/gear focused. The guy who recorded our albums threw some reverb on our guitars for the album recording though.

EDIT: Our bassist runs right into a bass head I don't remember the name of but it smells like burning 50% of the time and stops working the other 50%.

Thanks! This is detailed enough to give a decent picture.

I did a rundown of my gear as used on Ever Circling Wolves's Of Woe... back in 2013 or 2014 (we recorded the guitars in 2012 and 2013) and it's up on our seldom-updated blogspot if anyone's interested. I've since opted out of using the fx loop on my amp and bought and built a shitload of pedals to replace the ones I used back then. We meant for the other guys to post about their stuff, too, but they never got around to it. I guess they're not that much of gear guys either.

My favourite musician to explain his equipment and recording process will forever be Orlok from Countess.

About The Gospel of the Horned One

quote:

I had only brought my bass along, my Aria Pro II IGB-50 I always used on recordings at the time, but the amps and other equipment Zénon and Vercingetorix had arranged for the recording – mostly borrowed stuff – were not exactly the best. The bass amp looked like an unidentifiable home-made thing if it was a bass amp at all and Zénon was using a Marshall guitar amp that looked incredibly old though I don't remember the exact type. His guitar was a quite reasonable Charvel though and he used a quite modern electronic Boss effects processor as well. The drum kit was equally old and small, with just one bass, but that hardly mattered since Vercingetorix' drumming skills would never have allowed him to make any use of two, and then there was a quite decent Roland keyboard, though I don't remember the exact type.


about Shining Swords of Hate

quote:

I didn't really write the songs for this album; I just programmed some rhythm parts (as sloppy as possible) and started playing, improvising as I went along. Recording again in my own Black Lust Studio, I laid down the bass tracks using my Ibanez SB 900 LK, plugged straight into the mixing desk through my Boss ODB-3, and then did the guitar parts on my Ibanez RX 350 BK, also plugged straight into the mixing desk through my Boss HM-3 and Zoom 1202. I did the rhythm guitar parts three times to get a really thick sound. While I was playing the first rhythm guitar on Total War, I broke a string. Instead of playing that part over, I just left the breaking of the string on the album. That's the kind of album this was supposed to be.

Countess is cool but i really do struggle to get into the tinny guitar tones he uses sometimes.. the last album felt weirdly high budget because it actually had real drums and other musicians on it for once

Ok, 30 seconds of that preview before sounded ok but I am not digging 17 minutes. I don't think I heard any death vox either. :/

On a totally different plane I just finished Stranger Things - S3 and remembered how much I loved this cover by Dragonland of Never Ending Story.

They posted it on IG and nearly every comment is like "uhhhh no growls?" "bring back the growls Michael!" etc. have people not paid attention? They're not bringing back the growls. That era is over. It has been for several years. Michael has even said there will be no more growls. It's time to move on folks.

the exact words? No. But you get people who pine over ancient opeth songs like moonlapse, under the weeping moon, deliverance etc despite the fact Opeth stopped doing stuff like that almost a decade (10 years) ago. While dismissing newer music, because of no growling.



that being said, Heritage was pretty bland.

So Tomb Mold was pretty good last night. I keep forgetting that they have 3 full-lengths completed so they had a nice long full set list. Got to hear a few songs that they haven't played live before (Detroit was the first stop of the tour).

Mutilatred put on a hell of a show, as I predicted. They were a lot of fun.

The venue I was in was tiny and the whole time they were playing old WWF videos on the TVs.
