A Nameless Ghoul (bassist) Water Sign fan club

Count me in. Seen them three times (once on each tour), quite enjoyed each time. And I honestly feel like they upstaged Opeth and Mastodon the first time I saw them. They are one of the few artists where I'll be counting the days to a release months in advance.

As for gear, mostly Fender P, with a J for (typically) Zombie Queen and Mostrance Clock. Amps and corresponding tone have mored arounf a bit. When I saw them in the aforementioned opening slot, he was rocking an Orange that was pushed pretty hard, sounded even grittier that on Con Clavi (may have even had a little reverb added). On the supporting tour for Infestessumam (sp?), it was a rounder, more traditional rock P tone. Most recent tour, clearly more changes going on from song to song, sine most tones matched the albums pretty well. So, a couple of different ODs and some occasional fuzz.

 

Oh yeah..They're all Dunlop endorsers, so picks and strings can be somewhat inferred from that.

 

I always thought the singer played all the instruments on the recordings...

 

As a metal snob I'll give them a begrudging nob of silent approval. They have a good bit going and they are finding a way to keep Old School metal/rock going. The bass line for From the Pinnacle to the Pit is pretty awesome.
Its only 2015 and the century is young, but their have absolutely been better metal releases; let's not get carried away.
I'm not a huge fan of Tobias Forge's voice. I wish he'd put a little more fiery intensity into it. It sounds like he isn't "feeling it."

 

I can definitely see how some people would be turned off by his voice, it does come across sometimes like he is not even trying and it has a weird whiny quality to it, I think it's cool because it's different.

I have a friend who is personal friends with the band but he hasn't shared much dirt with me except that they are making a lot of money...haha

 

There's another thread here on TB started about a month ago that had lots of info. Can't link well on my android. Did you try searching here for Ghost yet?

 

Count me in... I love his old school P meets modern rock.
