    Prog-Sludge Mix Test

    Hey there, I've been working on a track over the last few months that I'm really stoked with the result, but I was hoping to have some others check it out to see if it translates well on a variety of environments. I'm trying to go for a huge but punchy low end and an overall darker vibe...

    FS Cort Zenox Z-44 Les Paul style guitar

    Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: This is a feeler for me, not because it's such a unique guitar, but rather because it was my first guitar that I purchased on my own. However, it doesn't get much love and basically just sits around. Maybe there is someone out here that gives this...

    any thoughts on my new release ? (post progressive metal)

    hi guys, i'm making music since many years, and i just finished to work on my latest album (the title of the album will be "Vol de nuit"). I worked on it during a whole year. It's influenced by cloudkicker, gojira, meshuggah, envy... but I think that I found my own style in this piece. Most of...

    NGD The world's first metal strat???

    This guitar is a dream come true. This is my custom LsL Saticoy 24. There are plenty of super strats out there and plenty of modern takes on strats as well but I have never seen something look so metal yet traditional at the same time. This was made possible by The Vibrato Bar boutique shop as...

    Can you play metal on a Hollowbody guitar with low output pickups?

    The short answer is yes Over making last week's video, I was pleasantly surprised by the tones I was getting running my core PRS Hollowbody II through a Friedman esque as well as a higher gain patch. There is this overall myth about needing high output pickups for tightness. Also hollowbodies of...

    The difference between playing sloppy and playing realistic.

    Hello everyone, This thread goes out to all the players out there struggling to play something that just seems downright impossible. While I generally don't think shortcuts are the way to go with guitar playing at all, there are times when you just have to realize that even our idols aren't...

    I made this (P90 metal tone)

    12k DC resistance, ceramic magnets. I've never owned a guitar with P90's, so I don't know how they're supposed to sound. But I'm pretty fond of the sound of this one. Very different from EMG's which I've used for decades. Criticism welcome! As said, I know nothing about P90's. :ugh:

    Looking for online collab - guitarist to finish an album

    I'm about 11 or 12 sounds into an instrumental album, mostly in the metal/prog vein, but with jazz/fusion influence. I'm looking for a guitarist much more capable than I to collab online to finish off the songs. I am primarily a 6 string bassist (have played for about 30 years), but am a decent...

    VHT/Fryette Pitbull

    Greetings! I git the Opportunity to get a pitbull cl50/12 (with eq) for a fairly decent price. Wanted to ask whether is a good choice for “modern” metal (think meshuggah, downturning etc) and rock/shred in general. Also, how does it handles pedals? Many thanks! Dave

    Is it me or does REAPER (DAW) sound muddy/congested/crammed/flat?

    I have been using reaper for about 2 years, chasing tones and mixing over and over. I can't seem to get it to sound crisp/clear without sounding harsh. But the biggest battle is not sounding congested and muddy. I have tried EQing, panning, stereo wideners, compression, etc etc. It just somehow...

    Online metal, hardcore, prog collab

    Looking to collab with someone online combining influences from stuff like sludge metal, hardcore, math rock, prog, fusion, death metal and noise rock. I'm no songwriting expert but my favourite stuff I've written tends to come from working with unusual rhythms, chord progressions, moods, etc...

    The Black Dahlia Murder will continue!

    So Trevor's death raised a lot of questions about what was next for these guys and looks like TBDM will continue, Ryan Knight is back and Brian will take up vocals. Great article and personally excited to hear this. No one will ever replace Trevor but Ellis and Knight tearing it up together is...
