look at each other..
As for 6 strings, their heaviest for me are The fault of the Flesh (main riff), next in line (the whole damn thing), Beyond within (windmill headbang-o-rama), Poison Godmachine (head explodes)...
Nevermore can manage to make anything sound heavy IMO...

I like DNB but before DHIADW they really didn't have that "unique" a sound to them.
when they switched to 7's I think they found their "sound".QUOTE]
WHA? You dont think DnB is unique? WOW... Tell me something that sounds like One of their albums. Before DHIADW Nevermore had this eerie sound. They dont anymore, but they are still as great.
Ok, listened to it again. It is the harmonic rake, but it's done very quickly and I don't think they're using all the strings for it. I can't say which fret they're hitting the harmonics from either, or even if it's done with an open string.
Each to they're own I suppose dude. I guess it's because there's a lot more melody that I like this album, but I love all their albums. It really is a hard choice.
No not really.
I can't put my finger on it but DNB and POE don't jump out at me like
all three of the 7 string albums do.
It's not the songwiting, it's the actual "sound" of the CDs.
I'm listening to "Tiananmen Man" right now at work (did I spell that right?) and of course this tune kicks ass,
but it sounds like (and I mean "sounds" like) a thousand other "thrashy" bands
out there. Now I 'm not talking about the actual song I'm talking about the "sound".
Did they switch to Dual rectos from Marshalls or something?
(great fucking solo in this song BTW
) (anyone have a tab of this tune?)
Vans drums don't sounds "huge" either. on EOR and TGE the drum tracks really
jump out at you.
maybe it's Sneap??? did they have someone else producing for them before DHIADW?
Actually if they never went 7 I don't know if I would've ever really gotten into
them as much as I am now.
but as it stands now these guys are easily my favorite metal band.
and as far as heavy on 6 string ahh........ "Create the Infinite", "Seed awakening", "the Psalm of Lydia"
those are all drop D I don't know if they're playing them on a 6 or a 7 but you can play them on a 6
and all 3 of those tunes are pretty heavy.

Before Sneap they used Neil Kernon. My favorite album (Warrels favorite too) will always be DnB. Emotionally perfect. EoR is fucking evil though!!!

Mostly harmless.
You haven't heard EoR until you've heard Sneap's mix...I strongly recommend it over the original. It was done for a very good reason.
Heaviest moment for me is in the title track: the transition from the intro riff into the main riff about 60 seconds in, where the drums cut and it pans from left to right brings up goose bumps on my arms EVERY time I hear it.
**Edit: The Psalm of Lydia is most definately 7-string: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snTpjKi-quA

Oh ya I've got the remix it sounds way better.
He's playing the Psalm of Lydia on his 7 but I don't think he's using the
B string at all anywhere
don't have any tabs from DNB or POE how were they tuning for that stuff when they palyed 6's?
Thep
Blast & Sweep
IMO, politics is the heaviest, not the best, but the heaviest

Ya, I realize the song is in Eb and can be done 6-string, I was being cheeky
Loomis with a 6-string just seems wrong to me somehow...

First comment you see on the lydia clip that was linkedWhats that from?
It's a very fast upward rake done close to the bridge, all part of the picking pattern. I remember talking to Jeff about that when were tracking it, and being blown away by how fast it is. Also, as they alternately appear in different spots in the riff makes it very cool indeed.
Awesome stuff.

Having Neil Kernon post = awesome!
There's just too many Nevermore riffs to pick for me, every record (well, from Politics onwards) usually has at LEAST a handful of memorable and classic riffs.
Also The Fault of the Flesh for the fucking win. I always wanted to see a tab for this because the slow riff with the harmonics(??) just before the main riff is just EVIL. <3
