Banal chord progressions is my middle name Docarooni. I'm not looking for complicated, sophisticated prog opuses or unusual avant-garde music like a lot of people I know both here on the board and in real life. I can't even listen to crap like Enslaved or Ulcerate or Meshuggah or a lot of these sissy prog bands some of you dudes go for. I won't even listen to concept albums. I judge things viscerally. We have very different taste in music you and I do Doc, but you know this already. I don't see basic, 'static' and predictable as negatives. I'm good with basic 'banal' 3 or 4 chord songs. I want them to be somewhat punky. I don't need "more" from my music, other than more balls. I don't need dynamics, I don't want surprises, just stick to the template. I worship the Ramones and Motorhead FFS. And the dude's bellowing was not 'aimless' the bellowing was quite good imho. If I could bellow like that guy I could have made my living as a German metal singer. The last track on that album Ride With the Devil is all you really need, 3 and a half minutes, if you that song doesn't get you pumped up then most of the shit I post on this forum won't be for you either. But you already know that you're not interested in the bulk of what I post here Doc, but I guess maybe you forget sometimes because you don't actually bother to check out most of the hhundreds of black and death metal albums I post. And why should you? It's not for guys like you, it's for us knuckle-dragging metalheads. We do have some overlap you and I, and I enjoy exploring that. But it's not gonna be stuff like this or any of the truckloads of norsecore, or crust or brutal deathgrind I post. You know damn well that no one ever said "only." You informed us all when you first joined the forum that you listened to mostly thrash, or a lot of thrash. We can see what you post you know, well over half of it's thrash or thrash related, bands formerly known as thrash bands, or just trad metal or hard rock. Don't know why you act like such an dick every time someone suggests you might be a thrash guy. That'd be like me getting all bent out of shape if someone suggested I was a black metal guy. Yeah, of course I listen to other stuff too, but I'm clearly a black metal guy. I've posted more black metal in the last two days than you have in the two years since you've been posting here with us. I also think you're not a very good piss taker.

Aweeee but I listened to stuff you posted!

Not bad, mr. VuohiMestariKenraali. You can say it like this: "Kiitos, erittäin anteliasta sinulta." I'm sure the whole lot of you english natives raise an eyebrow to my writings some time. Wouldn't have even noticed them if a friend didn't know their vocalist. Saw them live last year. They played first in 2nd day of fest. when everyone was still curing from hangover. They deserved better. This countdown is starting to pay off. Loved the debut when it came out, didn't know there is a new one. I have to give it a spin very soon. --- 154. Forgotten woods - As the wolves gather 153. Armagedda - Only true believers 152. Necrophobic - Darkside Another letdown in this countdown, because physical albums don't get scrobbles. I leave Nocturnal silence for GG.

Forndom - Dauðra Dura (2016)

Hey folks! First post in this forum, so I apologize in advance if my etiquette isn't quite on point! I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to achieve what I suspect (meaning, I could be wrong) is controlled feedback? Specifically, I really love what your can hear of the intros of Dark Angel's Darkness Descends and Akhron Infaustus' Amphessatamine Nexion: Any advice welcome. Thanks! Bernard

Gary Moore is standing at a 45 degree angle to his tube amp with it cranked like Alabaster talked about. A studio trick is that you can use anything from a wedge monitor to studio monitors or house stereo speakers to get feedback with some gain going. Most of the examples in the albums you linked are tube amps howling. Gary Moores guitar is using a 60 year old les paul burst named Greeny after the original owner, Peter Green. So he is using the guitar Greeny, which is an old les paul that had its pickups botched in the factory with a reversed magnet and rewired incorrectly (or perfectly, depending on your perspective. To the lobsters in the Titanic that iceberg was a miracle) to make it the only les paul on the planet that sounds like it does when out of phase. The guitar is now owned by Kirk Hammet, and is a 59 burst. It was originally purchased by Peter Green when he replaced Clapton in the Bluebreakers. And was Moores go to instrument. I mention it because getting Gary Moores sound wont happen exactly without that guitar. Also as a 60 year old piece of legendary gear worth 6 figures, it plays metal every night now on stage with Metallica. There are a ton of videos and info about the guitar, Here is a mini doc from youtube about it: So anyway, you can still get close with a real tube amp. The old school way to do this is face your amp so the pickups will send a signal to feedback to the amp, then move to the sweet spot which is usually like 3 to 4 feet away from the cabinet usually somewhere around a 45 degree angle. But honestly 100 watt tube amps at full volume will melt you face, kill your dog, and piss off your neighbors, The tech options suggested will work, as will smaller tube amps. For a metal sound I like Mesa Boogie triple rectifier, but again those are 100 watt tube amps made to push air through an auditorium, Mesa makes smaller really amazing tube amps, here is a link to what they sound like (He has a noise gate in his signal chain to stop feedback) But these amps do naturally feedback very nicely with every kind of guitar.

The most reliable way to do it is with a sustainer pickup. You can get great infinite feedback sounds with the octave-up switch. Another way to approach it is to have a dedicated distortion or overdrive pedal in front of the amp, that you only switch on when you want feedback. That takes a bit more fine-tuning, being intentional with your settings and knowing how your amp will respond at whatever volume level you're playing at. If you're using a noise gate like the Boss NS-2, you can also set it to be either "gate>pass signal" or "gate>mute" - if you set it to pass signal when it's off, you can do that for feedback and then click it back on for more control. There's also the "crank it up and stand in front of the speakers" technique.

I haven't listened to this yet, but it's not a squoggle so I will give it a go later. Edit. - It's deadly dull. But at least it's not a squoggle. And , no, I won't be listening to this but I endorse the sentiment.
