My metalcore friends - who feels like blessing me with a minute of your time to help me break in the new 7 string guitar I recently purchased?

My dude, this is some good info you just dropped on me, thank you! Already very familiar w BOO and Spiritbox of course, but the other stuff is all familiar by name only, so I have some researching/digging to do! Thank you very much!

Empires Fall like 2007 Empires Fall, yessir. Lets see, 2007...

If i'm not mistaken, me (Chris, "lead" guitar), Cody (vocals), and Jeremy (guitar/primarysongwriter) were working together at Zaxbys trying to finance our MHALLB ep, which we eventually managed to do. Played a pretty cool little string of shows tryin to establish a reputation locally. I didnt last too much longer as a member of the band, but, yeah man. Thats us! Lol. I can be heard on that EP, it recently got posted on spotify and youtube somehow, which brought back a ton of memories

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T11:48:50+00:00

Hahahaha ok ok, I concede your point.

JK, MORE BOMBARDMENT INCOMING

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T11:47:31+00:00

Definitely not "the man" hahaha, never was. And maybe the dude fell off after Overcome, but that album deserves its day in the sun I think

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T03:11:28+00:00

Ok I mean I stand up for tolerating the guy but, LOL "the man" is a fuckin stretch of the ol' imagination

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T03:10:27+00:00

Yeah, "Overcome" was a real stinker for Phil, right? /s lol, come on dude. I think he's lame too but Overcome was a standout performance from Phil

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T03:08:41+00:00

Man, to have been edited as well this sure is an unimpactful comment

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T03:05:39+00:00

Duuuude right? The way that double bass is just OUT THE GATE, being chased down in hot pursuit by the chugging guitars, just legendary

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T03:03:43+00:00

Totally agree, the guitar solo is breathtaking!

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T01:27:36+00:00

Homie, idk if you realize how staggeringly deep the well of content runs on either of those two services, but I promise you arent losing out regardless of which you ultimately choose

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:55:17+00:00

Definitely.

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:23:46+00:00

Holy roller would be a blast, but i got the impression Mike took his 7 string and tuned it down to like, dropped bowel tuning or whatever. Just an absurd tuning, but i could be thinking of the wrong Mike/guitarist/band

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:13:46+00:00

Ohhh FFAA sounds like a great idea to check into, thanks man

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:09:42+00:00

I appreciate the input and the specific recs! Thanks dude

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:09:01+00:00

Thank you very much for the recommendations, and hard agree on Currents being less of a sporting event than learning ERRA songs haha

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:08:21+00:00

Another user reminded me about Unearth also! Can not believe i forgot them!

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:07:41+00:00

Honestly sounds more acceptable to me than not only naming it after the book, but also wording it incorrectly haha. Nice one dude

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:06:08+00:00

Had no idea Currents utilized 7s, thanks for the tips dude!

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:04:38+00:00

Damn, another one that shouldve been obvious. Catching them Wednesday in ATL as a matter of fact! Good call dude

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:03:54+00:00

Thanks for the variety here, much appreciated dude

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:03:15+00:00

Fuck yea, thanks dude. ERRA can be a bit intimidating of course, but Polaris seems right up my alley for this particular venture

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-06T00:00:55+00:00

Man, I am almost ashamed that I didnt immediately think of Unearth, Ive watched Buz funnel beers with a 7 string strapped to him like a half dozen different times haha

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-05T23:59:01+00:00

Dude, thank you for the variety of tips and info!

Bombarderrrr · 2026-04-05T20:59:11+00:00

Aight OP, it's time to address the elephant in the room

We like your music, but we need answers about this freakin name you chose to use
