I play in a death/doom metal band and just got an 8-string a few weeks ago and am using it with that band.

+1 to new ion dissonance

I can't wait to hear what they do with that low Eb on there, the Ab on previous albums was already as massive as the goddamn moon.

I'd say Ion Dissonance and DANZA stand out in non-djenty 8string metal

 

[Poncho]

I had to go look up what 'djent' was. Lol. Back in the day we called it 'chugging'. Har.

To me they seem pretty 'djenty'. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but this thread specifically asks for 'non-djent'.

They are not djenty ha ha. He chugs on the F# a bit, but how else do you use it? You can't play chords on that shit, if you wanna play a distorted riff on there its going to be chuggy. We're splitting hairs here, but DH is a metalcore band (At least the first album is).

Yes their first album is definitely metalcore and I understand that they don't strictly 'djent', but their new stuff (to me at least ) sounds like it has a lot of elements that are common in 'djent' (god I hate that word ). Anyway, I shouldn't have involved myself haha, my bad!

SATYRUS NEW SONG for DM.BE Sampler vol8 Online !!! on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

Satyrus is probably the first 8 string band i've seen live that didn't go the djenty meshugga route .

Though i do think they're pretty much the only 8 string band in belgium come to think of it

Think the genre could be classified as Death/Black or something.

I use the low F in my band for Chords only, i don't chug on it at all. Works really well for making things sound 'big'.

You get massive sustain from it.

That Hunab Ku video was awesome.

Alexander Vynograd's been playing an eight-string classical tuned AEADGCEA for a long while now. And yes, he really is fretting notes with his chin here...



Paul Gailbraith's been playing an eight-string classical for ages as well, but he tunes AEADGBEA.
