Evan's Official Transcription thread

[Ralyks]

I think I said Mr. Bungle - The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo, but that would be awesome. Especially with how insane Sudden Death is.

Dark Angel - Time Does Not Heal (the obscene amount of riffs...)

Powermad - Absolute Power

Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare, Oppressing The Masses

Heathen - Victims of Deception

It's been a while since I posted a video of me playing. This is for the Neural DSP contest.



Lots of books are in the works, hopefully an announcement will be coming in the next week or so.

Got physical copies of my most recent projects! Deconstruction comes in at 222 pages, making it the longest book I've done so far.

The new Witherfall tab book is here, along with some other goodies courtesy of Joseph Michael. I worked with Joseph and Jake Dreyer once again to make it as accurate as humanly possible. Check it out here: https://witherfall.com/merch

All albums that I'd be interested in transcribing, but given that they're inactive artists, getting the necessary tracks/resources and getting the members involved/interested is highly unlikely. It looks like a Spawn of Possession book was in the works all the way back in 2012, but nothing ever came of it.

I'm working on fixing a tab for bodiless sleeper based on a grainy playthrough video. My ear is bad and I'm really slow at it though. If anyone wants to help I'll share what I have. Dennis might be a good person to ask about a Collab, and it sounds like they're active with that new project retromorphosis.

New book day! I transcribed Bleed From Within's latest album and had a lot of fun in the process. Their riffs are quite intricate, yet very satisfying to play, and there's even a Vogg guest solo on "Sovereign".

With Roger Öjersson of Katatonia after their show in Philly. We worked together on the City Burials tab book earlier this year, and it was great to gift him a copy in person.

Hi Evan89. I was just wondering, do you have any future plans on transcribing Cynic's Ascension codes album? I love that album and would immediately purchase the book if were to be released.

BTW. I'm still covering songs from the Focus and Traced in air tab books. Currently this week, I'm covering the song, "Breath" from the Jake Howsam Lowe: Oh earth tab book.

Yes, Ascension Codes is in the works. We did already release the transcription for Aurora to coincide with Paul's playthrough video

The tab book for A New Found Rain, the debut album from Mire, is here! I had the pleasure of working with Ryan Glisan and Nick Hipa to ensure that every part of every song is transcribed accurately. Lots of fun riffs on this one! I should also mention that all songs are played on a 7-string. Most are in standard, with a few in drop A.

2023 is off to a great start! I got to work with Opeth again on Watershed, which I remember buying on release day back in 2008. Pretty wild to be the transcriber of the official tab book all these years later. Also coming out this month is Curse of Existence, the latest album from Miss May I, which was a lot of fun as well. Which songs or parts are you most looking forward to learning?

 

[TheShreddinHand]

I’m pumped for Opeth Evan!!

I’m pumped for Opeth Evan!!

Same here. I'll be picking up a copy!

 

[wankerness]

Any chance of older Opeth? Watershed was where they lost me. I'll still get that cause it had a couple bangers on it (Hessian Peel in particular).

Good to see the Katatonia, I missed that post/release. I haven't listened to City Burials but I listened to everything they released from Brave Murder Day through Dead End Kings many, many times. My ideal for them would be a last fair deal gone down book, that one had the most interestingly layered sounds IMO and it was pretty hard to make out what was going on with some of the tracks like "Future of Speech" even in the live version on their DVD.

It's not up to me, but I'd happily transcribe the entire Opeth discography, assuming they have stems for everything.

I'd recommend checking out City Burials, Roger has brought a cool lead element that they never really had before. And they have a new album coming out in a couple weeks!

2022 recap:


Some fun numbers:

14 full album tab books (13 officially released, plus an unofficial Dream Theater redo) + Cynic - Aurora digital single

144 songs

2,113 pages

17,629 measures

 

[MAJ Meadows SF]

@Evan89 you are saving the world with these efforts. I'm especially looking forward to Opeth's Watershed and Katatonia's City Burials (need to pick that up).

I'll add a +1 for any older Opeth works, especially the Candlelight era. Orchid and Morningrise are perfect albums, MAYH right behind. Plus they've been playing Black Rose Immortal live lately (did they NOT think fans would be requesting that epic? lol). There are some existing tabs in the two "best of volumes" but it pales to cover enough. Speaking of pale, Pale Communion would be an epic to transcribe.

Also, +1 for Sheet Happens to rep any more OSDM bands. Even just some of the classics. As much as I want more official Death books, and modern bands like Blood Incantation and Tomb Mold, having an official tab for any classics would be amazing (From Beyond, Covenant, Last One On Earth, The IVth Crusade, Considered Dead, Like An Ever Flowing Stream, etc.).

 

[mikernaut]

Evan, any chance of full Tabs for Cynic's "Ascension Codes" ? Or atleast " In a Multiverse Where Atoms Sing" ? I already grabbed "Aurora".
