    • @CottonInDerTube
      @CottonInDerTube 8 лет назад +1

      +Frog Leap Studios i love the riff, but imo its too "flaffy" - i mean the sound. Its too much dropped so the melodic wont fuck my brain in that good way :D
      I think i made my point clear enough, did i?
      :D

      @davidpeters6743 6 лет назад +2

      I realize this is from two years ago, but if you get it so that they're in time with each other but not quite synced you get a really cool Fugue thing.

    • @garycollins3494
      @garycollins3494 6 лет назад +6

      BenC No, in my honest opinion, tuning doesn't define heaviness; it's the riff structure itself. Just look at Cattle Decapitation, they're only a half step below standard which is e flat.

    • @SinisterSinner7

      Same... I like this version better, but both sound good for their own tuned properties. Downtuning makes my ears happier for some reason.

  • @JacobNates

    • @niamaru2
      @niamaru2 8 лет назад

      +Jacob Nates hold the uptune one at 3 seconds and on the downtune, you wait until he finishes saying comparison and press play on the uptune, can be hard to do but once you do get it, its epic !!!

    Regardless of tuning, please do that song with a band of you haven't already, because that was AWESOME.

  • @domobrien4575
    @domobrien4575 7 лет назад +5

    Speaking from a vocalist POV, the higher version made me want to do more clean vocals, but this down tuned version made me wanna do more Lamb of God kinda vocals.
    They both sound heavy, but in different ways.

  • @Waas
    @Waas 8 лет назад +6

    You NEED to take this guitar track and add it over the up tuned version. I need this in my life.

  • @norseindi3054
    @norseindi3054 8 лет назад +40

    The tone it is down tuned to sounds like Amon Amarth which is possibly my favorite Viking metal band. Cool vid!

      Hellbassist_pa
      Actually, the band says they are Viking Metal
      Wikipedia says Swedish Melodic Death Metal
      which is all to say - it doesn't flippin matter, really

    • @adrianvillanueva7826
      @adrianvillanueva7826 4 года назад

    • @markdemars7044
      @markdemars7044 3 года назад

      NorseIndi Amon Amarth is considered by critics as a Viking Metal band because of their lyrics but Johan Hegg mentioned in an interview that he says Amon Amarth is just a Melodic Death Metal band. But I do agree with you. I thought Amon Amarth was Viking Metal too.

  • @MusicWinder
    @MusicWinder 8 лет назад +8

    Up tuned sounded like a Pokemon battle theme, this one was an awesome thrash piece! Great music dude!

    • @DenSvartaStjarnan
      @DenSvartaStjarnan 8 лет назад

      +Shabby P Thrash rarely uses down-tuning.

    • @MusicWinder
      @MusicWinder 8 лет назад +3

      Considering it's literally a down tuned version of a up tuned thrashy metal piece, I think we can see this might be an exception to the rule.

  • @mesarius
    @mesarius 8 лет назад +1

    What's better still is listening to both versions of the song overlayed on top of one another. Adds some extra depth to both.

  • @Sumask21

  • @lewy_g_official
    @lewy_g_official 8 лет назад +2

    I put both videos on at the same time and timed it right so they make an octave harmony. It sounds killer! Everyone, give it a go!

  • @tizianofratini7407

  • @davidshelton8651
    @davidshelton8651 7 лет назад +2

    Uptune version the notes stood out way more and had more character. But this one is Brutal! I love both!

    @Rossco1382 8 лет назад +2

    Can't believe I'm saying this, but I really like the uptuned version more.
    Don't get me wrong, this is still ridiculously awesome, but I think the uptuned just sounds more... "musical"?
    The arrangement of this song is simply fantastic, I can't get enough!
    Phenomenal as always! and thanks for putting up the alternative version!

    I can't stop to listen to this song, it's so fucking epic !! Thank you for sharing the tab I can try to play it now ! I bought this song (in fact, all of your songs)! I'm a big fan !

    • @peteplaysmusic

      Thanks! Tabs for this song are only available on my Patreon right now however almost all of the songs on my Bandcamp come with Tabs and Backing Tracks. The only ones that don't are covers and some of my really early stuff. Thanks for watching! :)

    • @DeathShark00

    • @xGshikamaru
      @xGshikamaru 8 лет назад

      +tom balmer to be able to work on it with a metronome for instance?

    • @DeathShark00
      @DeathShark00 8 лет назад

      +xGshikamaru how does having a tab vs learning it by watching the video have anything to do with a metronome? if you read a tab, you're probably learning note by note, same as watching a video (slowed down if needed), playing to a metronome wouldn't matter until you learn the song...

    • @xGshikamaru
      @xGshikamaru 8 лет назад

      nonsense, do you read a book letter by letter? If you know how to read tabs it’s that much faster to learn as it is to read a book rather than listen to it.

    Great tune by the way. There is something about it that makes me wanna go head bang to Clayman :)
    Well done Sir!

    Up-tuned sounded way better, in my opinion. It stood out a lot more in today's down-tuning craze, and hearing a note that's actually the note it's supposed to be and nothing more is very refreshing.

      +DarthUno TOtally agree, except for the intro riff, in my opinion. I liked that one in this version.

      +DarthUno This is my personal opinion on the whole uptune vrs downtune debate here. My two bits are simple. In my opinion he used a far better guitar in the uptune video than in the down tune video. In my opinion that makes a huge difference.
