OceansAndrew Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I think you need to be more specific on what you are looking for in the sound. Basically you take a really good guitarist and a really amazing singer and you record them and a band. I can be more specific, but you need to ask specific questions. Quote
PriZm Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 the song is amazing but the snare still sounds incredibly wimpy Quote
OceansAndrew Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 yeah, this is a really good track, I hope the rest of the album is as good, i'm excited. Quote
PriZm Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 there is another song out on youtube for symphony x's new album. End of Innocence Quote
ambinate Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 i had no idea they had a new album coming out. this sounds great, though. paradise lost had a heavier edge to it and it seems like they're developing that sound, which is really cool. michael romeo is a fucking champ. Quote
The Phalanx Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I saw them live a few years back. Goddamn they are a bunch of BEASTS on stage, especially Russell who just oozes charisma. Highly recommend catching them if they're in your neck of the woods. Quote
AngelCityOutlaw Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Now here is an awesome thread. Symphony X really has taken a much darker direction. So far, it's sounds heavier and darker than Paradise Lost. The thing I always love about Mike's riffs, is they have the prog-metal complexity but still sound very musical. Love how he often throws in a sort of....."middle eastern" feel. Plus, his tone is killer. Dehumanized overall sounds really great. Most 6-7 minute songs tend to just get boring but this song holds my interest throughout and I've been listening to it every day since it was posted by NuclearBlast. It's catchy and sweet shredding Jesus........that solo. The lead playing in this song is insane. I shall surrender my money to this album at once on June 17th. Quote
Fishy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah that is an odd snare sound choice. Not awful, just odd. Otherwise tight stuff from pork-features. EDIT: Oh wow, he plays capirson guitars - didn't even notice. Those things are hilarious. Quote
Tensei Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 On a scale from St. Anger to 10, what would you rate this snare sound. flame... nekofrog?hahahahahahaha Speaking of this + St. Anger, I did troll nekofrog once by putting the St. Anger blastbeat in one of his songs. Quote
WillRock Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 pig disgusting michael romeo successful troll is successful. Good stuff, snare seems fine to me, typical WALL OF SOUND metal production and some nice chops from romeo Quote
Fishy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 On a scale from St. Anger to 10, what would you rate this snare sound. I'm not sure I can do this accurately, as the St. Anger snare deserves it's own forbidden imaginary section on the number scale. Its the square route of -1. Quote
Chernabogue Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Track sounds good so far. Maybe I'll take a listen to that when it'll be released. June 17th? Same day that new Rhapsody of Fire and one day after my birthday? Sounds good too. Quote
PriZm Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I'm not sure I can do this accurately, as the St. Anger snare deserves it's own forbidden imaginary section on the number scale. Its the square route of -1. I am not familiar with St Anger, but personally the worst snare sound I heard is from Symphony X's album The Odyssey Quote
Tensei Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 I am not familiar with St Anger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovBNnm4EqRE It doesnt get much closer to banging trash cans together than this. Actually I'm pretty sure that's what the Quote
PriZm Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovBNnm4EqREIt doesnt get much closer to banging trash cans together than this. Actually I'm pretty sure that's what the haha that parody was pretty great. but to me, this is the worst : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-o_i4RfIxA Quote
OceansAndrew Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 haha that parody was pretty great.but to me, this is the worst : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-o_i4RfIxA not a huge fan of this snare sound, but st anger's is 10000x worse. :/ Quote
Fishy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ya srsly, that ring is obnoxious beyond belief. St. Anger wins by far. Quote
Fishy Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 No point, they're just bonkers. The Eklundh signature in particular is just plain silly. In a good way. Quote
Sixto Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Oh wow, he plays capirson guitars - didn't even notice. Those things are hilarious. Ugliest headstock and inlay design I have ever seen. Edit: I like the sound of the snare, just probably wouldn't have chosen it for this kind of music. Transients are too soft sounding. Needs more stick crack. Quote
