Portal is probably one of the most horrifying bands on earth. Man do they kick ass.

MESHUGGAH will always reign supreme in my book 
...but also check out Bulb, Chimp Spanner, Animals As Leaders, TesseracT, Uneven Structure, worC, Danza, Tyrant of Death, Fear Factory.
Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah has a solo project called Special Defects, no 8-strings used but fuck, its Fredrik, he can do no wrong

Speaking of Vildjharta, does anyone know where to purchase their music at?... I searched iTunes and Amazon music but no results.

Except, as has been said before in this very thread, Bulb doesn't use the 8 much, he has one, but AFAIK hasn't written a full song with it, yet. And TesseracT don't use 8s, they use 7s. Low tuning =/= 8-strings in use.
Also, Fredrik is working on another Special Defects album and is using his 8s.
I think you just have to search around on youtube for them. They also have Shiver and Don't Fail Me Now (Lady Luck) up for download on their myspace, last I checked.
YouTube downloader to the rescue?

Only thing about YouTube downloader that I don't like is that it when you select the output to mp3 and select high quality is that it outputs it at 128k, lame.

You can never go wrong with Animals as Leaders and After the Burial.

I thought so... I never knew BC Rich to make a production Ironbird 7, even though they did every other shape BUT that one. And I was still guessing a custom shop axe, but wanted to be sure. It's still cool as fuck!!!
Yep, already mentioned. Plus, they use 6s.

What's the deal with Vildjharta? they seem pretty sick but I can't really find much info on them. I heard they've got an album coming out this year...?

They're doing an album at the moment I believe, due this year.

If only I could find that clock-looking thing the vocalist from Portal is wearing. I want it so bad.
Doesn't CiLiCe use 8's?

Obeast don't do any of that samey-octave stuff.
Used the TC Electronic Rebelhead to bring the lows. He explains why he thinks it works better than classic amps in this vid:

I really dig their studio works Seems like either an RGA8 or an RG2228.
Didn't go through this whole list, so spank me if they're already listed..
