    Band promotion advice (include shameless promotion)

    I’m sure this has been asked before, but search didn’t really yield any useful results. What are good ways to promote a band? I want to reach out to some bloggers/websites/etc. but not really sure how to do it. Obviously I can put together a cover letter and send a demo, but what would be a...

    NGD+slightly old NGD (Ormsby content)

    I haven’t been active here in quite some time, but have been lurking again as of late. I figured this might be a good re-introduction into the forums. I finally jumped into the land of 8 strings with an Ormsby HypeGTR 8 that I bought a few months ago. I loved it so much I ended up buying another...

    Km7 pup swap

    I just don’t think the nazgul is for me. I’m used to playing a LP with 81/85 and I love the full fat sound I get from that. The km7 is super bright and almost nasally in the upper mids. I was thinking about trying the black winters. At thoughts? What are you guys using?

    New guitar and tons of feedback

    Just got my first 7 (km7) and I’m having crazy feedback issues. Playing through a Marshall valvestate 100 at half volume and half gain I’m ok but anything more then that and it’s out of control.I’ve plugged into my other guitarists amp and I get the same issues. I’m used to playing a LP with...

    Seattle area looking for bassist and 2nd guitar

    My drummer and I are lookin for some People (at least bassist) to round out a lineup. We’re both adults with full time jobs so we’re not looking to get rich and famous, we just want to jam and record some songs. Maybe play some small shows, nothing crazy. We’re geared more towards a modern...

    Crap project looking for crap vocals

    I'm a one man black metal band out of Seattle. I'm mostly looking for someone who wants to do vocal duty because I suck at it. If you play an instrument and want to contribute to music that's even better. If not, no worries. Im and adult with a job who likes sleeping in his own bed. I have...

    Black metal thingy

    Its been a really long time since ive written a whole song, but here it is. This is a pretty rough mix, but its BM at heart, so its not going to get super nice. I mostly want to see if anyone actually likes the song. :P https://www.dropbox.com/s/j8fnh8ocrihdxmg/Louder%205.0.mp3?dl=0

    First build (sketchy fakemachine content)

    Finally got my first build going. I decided to go for a 7 string BM clone. I did start on the neck a few months ago, but decided to hold off until Santa brought me a new table saw and miter saw. :hbang: Although I did start by making a body template out of mdf, I didn't have the proper...

    Talk to me about planing

    I have my two pieces of wood cut down to size and now i need to join them together. I'm basically wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks for planing the edges down so they'll lay flush. I've used my plane (no.5) to do some rougher leveling, but nothing this precise. Or am I just over...

    Question about ash

    Sourcing "swamp ash" seems to be a bit difficult. From what I understand, it's just ash of no particular variety with a weight of less than 2.8lbs/board foot, correct? I'm trying to source what I can locally as I'd rather go in and look at the lumber I'm going to buy, but most of what I've...

    How do i optimize thoery and technique?

    Ive been playing for 8 or 9 years now, and while im decent, i recently realized i really need to improve not only my technique but also my understanding of theory. I have some knowledge of theory but i feel like im in a bit of a rut trying to figure out where to go next. I havent practiced...

    Tuning up with the same strings.

    So, im pretty sure i know the answer to this question, but i want to go from C standard to D standard using the same string gauge. Im using 13-62 set. Ive tuned it up, and i think it plays great. When i got it back from its initial setup there was some fret buzz (only acoustically) and it just...
