I'm curious as to Trent and Justin's writing process. I wonder if it was a 50/50 type thing or did one contribute more riffs than the other. I'm interested as to how ATB will sound in the future if they continue after Dig Deep now that they're without a major writing contributor.

I'd always assumed Trent contributed a little bit more on the writing side, but Juice did a bit more on the production. That's what I'm expecting, is a more noticeable change in production.
I'm excited and nervous at the same time. It all still feels so weird without him, even just listening to the old stuff.

From all that ive seen / heard... it seems an almost 50/50 split. Justin handled the main riff / melody / drumming while Trent took on the lead runs.
But its more than evident they both have (had) the talent to take care of all the duties no matter whos involved...
Definitely excited for this new album and pray this doesn't stop there...

One thing ive noticed is it seemed Justin was the main advocate of 9 string and very low tuning?. Trent doesnt seem remotely bothered by 9 strings and it seems like they have ditched 9's now justin is gone?.
I wonder If those very low tunings and 9 string work was what he was bringing to the table?.

If im not mistaken... ATB STARTED with 7 strings.
They switched to the 8's because the tunings were to low for the 7's to handle and especially for how tight their sound and playing is... not only on the albums but live as well... the natural progression for their target was to add the extra string.
Even in Justin's trial vid of the RG9 on you tube, he even said that the 9 wasn't his main guitar... just another tool in the box to get the sound he / they wanted.
Regardless... I don't see ATB breaking out the 6 stringers on stage any time soon
hahahaI'm hoping they put whatever song is happening at 3:17-3:35 on the new album so they can bust out the 6's again

I be willing to bet... the ONLY reason why they use the 6ers is to gain the accuracy and accessibility on those sweeps / some of the more difficult higher end riffage...
But I could be wrong. I just hope this new album is the heaviest, most gut checking music to date. Regardless of what they put down I will still love it like all the rest!!
There isn't a single ATB song that isn't good in its own way. Ordacleaphobia

+1.
For some reason, with a title like "Dig Deep," I'm expecting some really ballsy tracks.

It's just an embedded video, it should work, I can see it at the very least, maybe check your plugins and see if they're up to date, though if someone else lets me know if they can see it I can verify.

S*** man I've been playing 'To Carry you Away' for years now and I still manage to mess up the timing on that second breakdown somehow.
Their stuff has always been such a blast to play. Always makes me smile how so much of it is only like a half step down and yet still sounds so heavy too.
