or mountains grinding together in a massive earthquake. A band called Torche does it. Listen to the break down type part in Tarpit Carnivore starting at 2 minutes, 14 seconds.
Down-tuning to the floppy noteless point + heavy distortion? Or something else? I must know... |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada | | I saw them in Montreal and didn't realize that they (partly) used to be Floor until midway through the set. The bassist plays a 4-string (sorry, don't remember the kind) but at least one of the guitars is also tuned down to what people call the "bomb note" or "bomb" string. See here: http://www.monotremata.com/dead/arch...interview.html I think if you dropped a low B to an A it wouldn't be deep enough or floppy enough.
If you have a chance to go see them, make the effort. I went to see Jesu and Tim Hecker and they were inbetween and it was the most wonderful surprise. One of the best heavy bands out there and a great live sound. |

I like them. It's like sludge metal without the patience. |

I thought it was some sort of drum machine bass bomb sample on that track but this sound is slightly different and now I'm more confused than ever. I love their music but if you listen to some of the lyrics they can be a little disappointing - very flowerchild/burnt out hippie sounding on some songs. |

But I do know he plays loud. Low B or A is no where near low enough for that sound. I got a drop tuner on my one bass that is set up for F tuning, when I drop down to about a C that is about the right sound (that's a C an octave lower than tuning to C from standard E). |

I agree with the floppy string theory.
I will have to check these guys out when they come to town in June.
