Necrophagist

[Stitch]

So, I was at the Darkest Hour/Between The Buried And Me/Misery Signals gig last night, and who do i meet at the bar but Dusty from BTBAM? So we get chatting about things like beer and gear. Apart from the sad recording questions (I won't bore you with details), I was asking him what Ibanez S models they were using (Custom shops, since you ask).
Anyway, i then say to him "Well, thats all well and good, but real men use seven strings fawk to which he sucks on his teeth and goes "Well, i've got enough of a handful learning to play 6. But did you know that Muhammed from Necrophagist has just signed to Ibanez and is writing his next album exclusively on 7 string?"




FUCK.



Necrophagist, at the best of times, are nothing short of incredible, and brutal as fuck. After his vocals, Muhammed's sick-as-fuck sweeps and ridiculously tight playing are my favourite things about the band. I hesitate to think the sort of metal he could forge and administer with that set-up - Ibanez 7 + awesome technique + ENGL + great band + killer vocals.



I truly am dreaming out loud here, but what do we think of a seven string version of his reverse headstock'd Ibanez Warrior-type axe?

Please god....


Anyways, thought you would like to know! Seemed apt for the 7 string section...

...oh yes, she WILL be mine

seriously, that sounds like great news

Ya I talked to stephan when they passed by here in Montreal with Cannibal Corpse, and if I understood well what he meant, it WILL be that warrior type guitar of his, but in 7 string format!

so it is possible its a production model? wow.. If it comes in quilt tops, You know it will be damn awesome... All I ever wanted in a guitar is Ibanez feel, with a Jackson shape.. lol

I couldn't care less about what guitar he is using, but the fact that he is moving to sevens is very good news indeed.

 

[Kagami]

A Muhammed sig 7 series would be fucking sweet.

I foresaw some mention of quilt tops from you

Indeed. But the shape would be cool - something other than a superstrat - something of which Ibanez is long overdue.

 

[InTheRavensName]

aye, and Ibanez seems (from what I've heard) to be moving in more adventurous directions...

...8 strings? Pointy guitars (the vblade)...wtf?

aha...2007 FTW

That was more of a thinly veiled jab at Ibanez.

I did or you did?

 

[noodles]

Nope, all me. I really don't like most Ibanezs.

 

[Stitch]

That's all right. You are endorsed by KxK, get free Road Kings and have your own action figures...

...its alright for some...

wait a minute.. he IS an ac...

Oh, I need to go to bed now. That was just too lame.

Anyway, supercool news that Muhammad is gonna use sevens now

Another one joins the fold, and this time, it's a big one

 

[Unknown Doodl3.2]

He also said a few months ago on the old forum that "the new album will make epitaph look like Kindergarten class"

 

[ScareRaven]

I sit here now in my Necrophagist hoody and it was FINE news to see, as I am getting ever closer to purchasing my first seven-string guitar as well. Haha. I really do feel as if I need a good Ibanez 7 to perfect my sweeps and articulation. Thanks for the heads-up! It took mohammed quite some time to churn out the material for Epitaph.

 

[DSS3]

Yeah, he posted a while ago on his forum that he's having Ibanez make him a 7.

I don't think it'll be a sig, though - he just said it was a custom.

 

[skinhead]

If you want that warrior shape it's easy:

But a warrior and make/buy an ibanez neck, easy

 

[Ryan]

Dragonteeth inlays and reversed headstock...

 

[The Dark Wolf]

Very cool news. I look forward to hearing what they can do with a 7. I'm sure it will be kick-ass, as always.
