Let me preface this by saying that I haven't bought a six-stringed guitar in almost a decade, and am way out-of-the-loop on six-strings. Recently, I was offered a 1986 Ibanez RoadStar II RG450BK, but I haven't gotten a chance to toy around with it yet, and haven't made the purchase. Does anyone...

Stay Home is a two-piece skramz group from my hometown. These guys are seriously awesome, if you're into stuff like Circle Takes the Square, Kaoru Nagisa, Ice Hockey, Tiny Moving Parts, Charles Bronson, etc. If you dig that kind of stuff, check them out! You've Seemed Sad Lately | Stay Home

Searched, and couldn't find any dedicated post rock thread, so I figured, hell, there's gotta be more fans of post rock than me on this board. What's the best post rock out there right now (other than the obvious Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, etc.)? I'm a big fan...

Okay, long story short, when I was in my old band, I left my live rig at our drummer's house (our practice space), and came back one day to find that his older brother had broken my standby switch, and my amp no longer turns on because of this. I know that tube amps are dangerous to work on...

Announced today, the original Misery Signals lineup will reunite for the tenth anniversary of their full length debut, Of Malice and the Magnum Heart, and will play the album in its entirety through their tour. Dates and support bands have not been announced, but either way, I am excited to see...

The Way It Is Now So, I'm not particularly into the genre (I guess when people call metal "screamo," it's a real thing, and I never explored it except bands that these guys listen to, only really liked Alta), but these guys are a local group that I'm rather fond of. A friend of mine used to be...

Kings These guys are good friends of mine, from my hometown. They recently released their first EP, and it's available as a "name your price" download. If you guys are active in the Illinois/Iowa hardcore scene, you might have seen them. They're great on record, and live, and they're all great...

So, I've been using FL Studio 10 Producer Edition for quite some time, usually to experiment with electronic music, or sometimes to play through PODFarm quietly. Of late, I've also been using the EZDrummer VST in hopes of recording a few songs all on my own. However, I can't stand some of the...

Do you guys have any idea what sort of effects were used in the intros of these songs? I'm working on a song in a similar vein as a live intro for my band, and I'm really trying to get an effect similar to this for it.

Okay, so my band is getting prepared to begin recording a self-produced EP. I know enough from my days working the soundboard in a theatre to mix my tracks once their recorded, but does anyone have any tips for a good DI tone? I'm tracking through an M-Audio Fast Track USB for guitars, basses...

I don't know what it is, but I've had my Septor Elite 828 for about 2 months now, and I just can't seem to feel at home on it, when compared to my Interceptor 725. I'm used to the longer scale and 8th string now, but it seems that my playing is just less fluid, and writing material doesn't come...

Okay, so I'm 18, and I play bass in a somewhat generic, ABR style, metalcore band (I like the music, it's not what I primarily listen to or write, but I really do enjoy it, so what? :P). In a month or so, we're going into the studio for the first time to record an EP. Is there any advice for...

Well, when custom orders for Agiles opened up in October, I had the money, I wanted an 8-string, I love Agile, and I didn't have a lot of other options, so I figured I'd make one. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that my order shipped on Tuesday, rather than in April as projected, and ecstatic...

So, Alex Erian is in a new band, with some former members of Blind Witness, called Obey the Brave. They're a metalcore band, but they seem to be on the more hardcore end of metalcore than anything. Anyway, they're awesome, and it's great to see Alex in a band once again :hbang:

ಠ_ಠ What happened? They have more in common with grindcore and deathcore than dance music now. I actually like this. A lot. Please note: A friend of mine is really into their first album, and I really wasn't, but he showed me this, because he thought I would enjoy it. I do :metal:

So, I've had the Jet City JCA20H head (3x 12AX7's in the preamp, 2x EL84's in the power amp) for about a year now, and the tubes are about gone. I need to retube and rebias the amp, and was wondering if there was a way to retube it with a specific brand of other tubes, or switch the tubes out...

I know I'm not giving you a lot to go on, but all I really have right now in this vein is the maudlin of the Well Interludes and Darkest Hour's acoustic instrumentals. My dog just died, and I'm just looking for really soothing, beautiful, instrumental acoustic pieces (I'm just not in the mood...

So, an old, but GREAT, technical metalcore band I found, released on Prosthetic Records in 2004, they're called Reflux. They feature Tosin Abasi (Animals As Leaders/TRAM) on guitar, Evan Brewer (The Faceless/ex-Animosity) on bass, Ash Avildsen (Sumerian Records founder) on vocals, and Vinnie...

I didn't see a thread for this already, so I figured I'd post it (a little late, I found it almost a week ago). I'm really liking the new sound. Musically, a little TBDM sounding, and vocally, Jonny's sounding more like he did on the Fleshwrought record, which I think is awesome. And dat solo...

Not my band, but they're locals from a few miles out in Rockford, which has a pretty healthy hardcore scene, as opposed to the dying deathcore scene in the Quad Cities. They've posted both of their EPs, The All Seeing Eye, and Spectator for free on Facebook: Download Our EP, "The All Seeing...
