Emmure -- "Speaker of the Dead" thread

[Encephalon5]

I didn't know they were all Orson Scott Card fans

I've not really liked anything since Goodbye To The Gallows, and I'm not really much of an Emmure fan really, But I'll give this a shot.

All I know about Emmure is that I saw these guys open for Attack^2, an they had the best live guitar sound I've heard to date. So ridiculously heavy.

Having good live guitar tone is so important. When I first saw BoO (ironically, they were opening for Emmure back in early 2008) I was floored by their tone. It was loud, ballsy, and every note rang out clear.

As far as Emmure goes live, I've seen them almost every time they've come to Houston since early 2007. I actually saw them before GttG came out, albeit by accident, and I didn't like them. Frankie (vocalist) has sucked for almost that long live. His high screams devolve to unintelligible gibberish. Also, I feel that they use too many subdrops when they play live. Just my .

 

[I AM THE OCEAN]

Definitely looking forward to this. It's sounding real heavy.

I hope this album is as good as Goodbye To The Gallows. I'm not much of a fan of The Respect Issue or Felony at all. I can hope.

You know, I thought the majority of Felony went back to the GttG formula. It was more melody and more riffage, as opposed to The Respect Issue, which was chock-full of breakdowns. Didn't bother me, as I love breakdowns

My God, that was intense!

I fuckin' love Emmure. Their music is pretty retarded, but in a bad ass way.

Loved the production here as well. Not excited about the composition in an unsurprised way.

^I never expect anything "new and exciting" from Emmure. That being said, there always seems to be something new and cool with each album, in my opinion. I listen to Emmure to headbang, that's pretty much it.

I listen to Kreator to headbang.

^Thrash ain't my thing, lol.

any idea if this was the POD HD500 or an older pod? Really looking forward to this album

Since Joey Sturgis is recording them I'm 95% sure it's Pod Farm IIRC.

 

[lookralphsbak]

they got one more album with victory.......then its major label time for them

LOL MAJOR... They are manged by Sumerian Entertainment... So yea, no surprise where they are going after Victory.

I'm not a huge fan of the music but I work with Victory records and worked the last Emmure record... I'll most likely be working this record.

Also that tone is fucking incredible and this shit makes your head bob. haha

 

[barrett]

joey said they are using 4 different tunings on this new cd, so i'm guessing that means some 8 string

 

[Scar Symmetry]

The song doesn't sound like much, but the tone sounds fan-friggin-tastic IMO.

My sentiments exactly...

 

[Revan132]

No; they use 7 strings, one of them has an endorsement from Ibanez and has a LACS RGD 7 string.

 

[Prydogga]

He did say *some*. They could be branching out like WC did on the last record.

 

[johnythehero]

emmure is own of the few deathcore bands I truely enjoy and his tone makes me wish for some pod action XD

 

[xCaptainx]

Being a relative n00b to nerding out about producers/recording, I was extremely suprised to see so many artists that I have heard that have recorded with Joey Sturgis.

If line 6 is being used for the Fall The Fallen Dreams albums, and this one, I'm stoked, haha.

Did a quick google and quite suprised to see so many 'produciton' forums getting so off put/highly opinionated about his work methods too. FFS I didnt relise it was line 6 until today. Really stoked to see someone recording in a method that we all do on this forum, on a bigger/commercial level. Just goes to show that tone is in the ear/hands, not in the gear. AND further confirms my feelings in regards to digital/reamping/cost cutting etc. I'd much rather record with someone like Joey for 1/10th the price of a 'standard' studio setup (in fact I have, my old band recorded with Zorran in New Zealand, we used real drums and he got an amazing album out of us, I was very stoked)

The arguments I've seen backand forth with 'bedroom/digital recording' like this are quite similar to the iphone game developers/$1 games debates, haha.

Can't wait to hear the full length of this album anywho.

Damn....I hate Emmure but they did a good job at creating a dark atmosphere with that breakdown hahaha
