Karl Hungus said:When did Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, and Slayer use 7 strings?
zimbloth said:Slayer: On "God Hates Us All" several songs are using a 7-string tuned to Bb, such as "Here Comes The Pain" and "Scarstruck". Several others are in B (War Zone, Payback, Castdown, Seven Faces) but I don't know for sure if they used the 7s or 6s on those. Kerry King had several BC Rich custom 7s made for him, all Warlocks I believe. Jeff just tuned down his 6s on those songs.

zimbloth said:Dimmu Borgir: On their last 2 albums (Puritanical, DCA). I'd say 50%-60% of those albums feature 7-strings. Galder and Silenoz don't use them live though, but you can hear it as clear as day on the records, and they talked about using them in interviews. Some obvious examples are "Kings of the Carnival Creation", "Hybrid Stigmata", "Architecture of a Genocidal Nature", "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse", "Vredesbyrd", "Eradication Instinsts Defined", etc.
Old Man's Child: Galder is the guitarist from Dimmu if you didn't know, on his last two albums (In Defiance of Existence, Vermin) he uses them on most songs. Galder has an ESP custom shop F-series 7.

zimbloth said:You're wrong DSS3. Flat out wrong. That's what they do live. Galder himself touched upon this, he said they used 7s to record certain parts on the record in the studio. But even without him, anyone with a decent ear can hear it. They used 7-strings. Theres plenty of times where theres single note low B pms etc, which are obvious and are not the root-forth powerchords you speak of. They do use those chords often, but no, DCA is not all in E. Itis not hard to differentiate the difference between the root-4th-octave chords and an actual open low B string, its as clear as day.
