Looking to discover new HEAVY bands in C standard!

[Vince Caruana]

TTEOTD is B standard on 7s.

Their old stuff was in C

 

[TheStig1214]

Sleep was mentioned. Also Baroness' first album was pretty damn heavy and it's in Drop A#, which is the "drop D" for C standard.

Most of The Sword's catalog is in C standard.

Kyuss

The heavier side of QOTSA's catalog is C standard ("Songs for the Deaf" namely, most of that is C standard)

Drop C. For what it's worth, Justin is my cousin, so I'm familiar.

 

[Vhyle]

Nobody has mentioned Machine Head yet. Wow.

Thought they were in drop b?

 

[Triple-J]

They typically play drop B & have a few songs in C# but tune at 430mhz which is slightly flat.

 

[akinari]

Gorguts on "Obscura" and "From Wisdom to Hate." I think Cathedral tuned to C after Forest of Equilibrium.

 

[I Voyager]

They typically play drop B & have a few songs in C# but tune at 430mhz which is slightly flat.

Actually they tune slightly sharp of C#/Drop B on their last 3 albums and Burn My Eyes. Everything else is play old drop B.

Most of The Sword's catalog is in C standard.

I only know a few tracks from age of winters but they are all drop C...

 

[7stringDemon]

Six Feet Under

 

[darkinners]

Suffocation on Human Waste and Effigy of the Forgotten.

And to the guy that mentioned Behemoth, They're in C#.

Going to see them this Friday
Been waiting for 15 years, finally an Asia tour

Really?

Well, you can't blame me for trying. I wasn't far off.

 

[Edika]

I was introduced to Medeia in the killer opening thread and have been listening to them a lot.

 

[0rimus]

Dismember

 

[Valnob]

bring me the horizon.

The songs are so simple you could probably play them either way. Warp Riders and Gods of the Earth are almost entirely C standard. I'd say about half of Apocryphon is C standard and the other half is drop C.

Not if he wants to learn more music that is in the same tuning as he is. Gives you more scope for what can be done.

Personally, I've never worried about tuning, unless it's a radically altered tuning. I just play whatever I want in my preferred tuning, which is D standard. A lot of the bands whose songs I'm learning right now just happen to be in D standard also, but for those who aren't, I just play it normally and don't care about the fact that it's in a different key.

I really enjoy turning up my stereo and playing along with my cds. So that's why I always like to know a few bands that play in the same tuning as me. It's like I'm in a band!
