Death Metal bands who play 7s?

Dehumanize · 08-20-2010, 09:29 AM

I'm looking for some death metal bands (any subgenre, but tech and 90s style are preferred) that play on 7-strings, and not simply 6s tuned down to B Standard, although feel free to share for anybody interested. Please, no 'core' of any kind, only real metal.

Spawn of Possession immediately come to mind.

Evil7 · 08-20-2010, 09:41 AM

Check out my band.
I love it when I can shamelessly plug my band and still be on topic!

First of all: MORBID ANGEL. Any album after Blessed are the sick. Gateways is the one with the most 7string songs, but all albums got atleast 50% 7string material. Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus and Demigod is also definatly whorth checking out.

Inazone · 08-20-2010, 10:28 AM

Demonicon, if you can find any of their stuff. Not sure about their current lineup, but both guitarists were playing sevens as of a couple years ago. Nailed Shut is a mix of B-tuned six and seven.

Yeah, that one should've been obvious but escaped me.

Cannibal Corpse do or have used 7 strings.

My band play sevens - same setup as Spawn of possession - one six string esp and one 7 string Ibanez. Tuning is C-standard thou - The C note just seems more in your face than B

drmosh · 08-20-2010, 11:09 AM

spawn of possession play 6s again, only on the last album did one guitar player use a 7 but he has since left

Through The Eyes Of The Dead.

Ironbird666 · 08-20-2010, 12:50 PM

Aeon use sevens, I believe there is an artist interview on this site?

I did a quick YouTube scan for this band, and found a music video

I spot an Engl Fireball in there, but what's that other amp?

Steve08 · 08-20-2010, 06:18 PM

Obscura have a couple of songs played on 7 strings as I recall, if you consider Whitechapel/Suicide Silence death metal (I don't, but hey...) they play in drop A on 7s.

Also, do you care about bands like Cryptopsy or At the Gates that play in B standard on 6 strings?

SirToastalot · 08-20-2010, 06:24 PM

Diamanthian
Insidious Disease
Hour of Penance are also well worth checking out. The guitarist was using a pretty slick natural burst Ltd SC-607 last time I saw them live:

I agree.

The band in my signature named Benighted Iris plays some kind of modern death mixed with djent vibes.
We play 7s in Dropped A and use an 8string on 1 song.

Coincidence, a buddy was showing me Hour of Penance earlier tonight. These two bands are incredibly heavy, especially Diamanthian.

He says pretty clearly on his first post:
