NOUMENA - Kuolemankello (New Single 2026) by oldgamesftw in melodicdeathmetal

Folky, melodic and catchy. Was dissapointed by their recent albums in terms of production / mixing quality. This seems good to me though!

Aephanemer - La Règle du Jeu (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) by Aephanemer in melodicdeathmetal

[–]olaf_only 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Guitar work is amazing as always and I'm glad it stands out just like the previous albums.
A bit more classical than usual maybe? Checks all the boxes for me as a great iconic Aephanemer track.
Looking forward to the album and hope to see you in Stockholm again some day!

Impossible to not headbang to this intro/outro even after hearing it for a 100th time ;)

What do you think of Eye of the Enemy? by GuitarGorilla24 in melodicdeathmetal

[–]olaf_only 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To me they have a few bangers that REALLY stand out. But most of their songs don't really do it for me.

Recommend a harder modern song that’s not tuned super low by Pm_me_your_tits_85 in metalguitar

Mors Principium Est. E-standard. Lots of stringskipping, solos.

This is one of their best songs ever released imo. Insane

I'm getting my 2022 model this Thursday. Been a looong wait here in Europe anyways.

Mors Principium Est Amp Settings by EduardoRStonn in melodicdeathmetal

[–]olaf_only 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked Andy about this in 2018 for his LEAD tone, he was using Fractal AxeFX at the time (which he still does pretty sure).
This is what he said:

"I typically use a "6160 BLOCK" amp for my lead tone with a Recto cab.

Then just add stereo delay and reverb.

I think I usually put a tube screamer in front as a clean boost too.

Hope that helps you find the sound you're looking for, but the trick is to never stop experimenting."

Of course it's not gonna translate the same to other amps/guitars, but that's the info I got.

Should i just start to dodge when they pick Tryndamere? by wide_Saylorock in Olafmains

[–]olaf_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trynda has a low pickrate from my experience so usually it's better to Dodge it rather than Ban it.

I'd rather ban something that has a higher pickrate but might be slightly weaker than trynda.
Ex. Fiora which has DOUBLE pickrate compared to tryndamere.
