The Acacia Strain's new album is done all with an 8 string, not a very flashy album but fucking heavy

 

[Philligan]

Motherfuckin Portal.

 

[JPhoenix19]

A) I'm pretty sure there's been several threads about this

B) Shouldn't this go in general music discussion?

C) +1 to AAL and Deftones' latest album. Steve Carpenter is the reason I constantly GAS for another 8-string

I second After the Burial. Saw them live and listen to their music ALL THE TIME. Good shit.

Ignite The Ibex, Tesseract, Entrosolet, new Whitechapel album features 2 songs that feature an 8 string.

Except Tesseract use 7s, still. And I'm pretty sure that Entrosolet use 7s, as well.

Every track except Austere uses the 8.

 

[Variant]

Meshuggah.

...and I'm gonna mention Mnemic here. Granted, they tune down to F# on sevens, they're one of the few bands that use low tunings in anger, crafting whole songs around the low string... as opposed to a sprinkling here & there, or "It's time to drop to the low string for the breakdown".

Every track except Austere uses the 8.

On the Shores doesnt. i saw a live vid of it, and he was using a 6.
