Who tunes down to G/F#/lower besides Meshuggah?

[troyguitar]

I'm looking to find some more examples of players using those super low strings now that I have one on my 9-string. Is anyone out there playing relatively melodic/accessible music with super low notes? Bonus points if there is actual singing involved too!

I know some of the newer Deftones songs are in F#, C#, F#, E, B, G#, C#

 

[Variant]

SYL/Devy has a lot of stuff in drop G1, and 'Possessions' is in 'E1' (bass in E0).

M.A.N. does stuff in F#1 I believe.

Eight-string guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Strapping Young Lad, After The Burial, Deftones, Divine Heresy, Scar Symmetry to name but a few.

Aparently new Sleep Terror will feature a lot of 8 stringing. Can't wait to hear more of that.

Vildhjarta tunes to G standard. They also have some singing and are a bit more melodic than Meshuggah.

Crowbar tune to drop G

Which song? I've never heard anything below Drop A from Crowbar (I thought most of their stuf was B Standard). I LOVE Crowbar!! My wife and I have "Planets Collide" engraved on our wedding rings if that tells you anything.

I wrote a song in Drop F..

Don't know man someone who's really into Crowbar told me

Hehe, I'm way into em.. like in a nerdy fan kinda way. I once threw my panties at Kirk Windstien.

 

[Setnakt]

Mortician and Portal come to mind.

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Shit yeah, Mortician tune to G too, Darkest Day of Horror is such a brutal album

 

[vampiregenocide]

Interlock used to tune fairly low I believe, not sure what tuning though,

Ion Dissonance and After the Burial.

Most of the bands Dino Cazares has been in has used 8 strings in one song or two.
