Author Topic: 7 string Nailbomb complete song - updated March 12 (Read 3750 times)

I got my Nailbomb installed in my S7320 on Tuesday and it sounds absolutely phenomenal. Normally, I find that 7 string pickups sound thinner in the lower mids so while they sound fine on the low B, the low E sounds really thin and just doesn't chug the same way that same pickup will on a 6 string. But, the Nailbomb does not have that problem! Awesome!

That is not especially relevant for this song though because this is all low tuned madness and ultimate heaviness (especially the outro - if you don't like the rest, at least listen to the end) :D

My first clip here as well. Let me know what you think of the song and production..

Just updated the tune with some changes.

A song without a solo is like sex without coming. WHERE DA FUK IS DA SHREDZ, MAHN?! :shock:

Kidding. A solo would be nice, but this sounded great. You seem like a versatile player, it's doomy at some times, deathy and others.

I can never record a solo that I like.. I can play one for sure, but as soon as I hit the record button, everything goes to pot :D

The evilness of the flashing red light!

That is some serious groovin man! I have to agree it did get a little redundant without any leads or solos. The least you could throw in there would be a lead! Is it just my speakers or does the beginning to the middle sound pretty fizzley?

I didn't have as long to record the song as I would have liked, this took me about two and a half hours start to finish.. including playing, mixing, and setting up Superior :) lacking polish certainly.
There is a riff that didn't make it in there because it was getting too late to keep recording (so the one riff repeats again) and a better version of the second post chorus riff that is in 11/8 instead of 9/8. I just don't see a place in the song for a solo.. if anything, it'll be another layered part except clean/heavy polyrhythms

Figured I'd bump this... added some riffs, changed others, messed with the mix a bit.

You only have to think that you can use it as many times you want. Then it becomes your friend. ;)

Nice tone and playing there!
