I’m looking for 2022 tones

[stratjacket]

Sorry to spam up your thread, but there’s always so much new music. I usually check out a bunch of new stuff, find a few albums that click for me and then wear them out.

Michael Romeo is coming out with his War of the Worlds Part 2 in early February. He released 1 song as a preview.
If you haven’t checked out War of the Worlds Part 1 that came out about 3 years ago, check that out, it’s pretty badass.

 

[Metalhex]

most of the "new" stuff I listen to is older bands that I never got the chance to hear

Haha 100% me too

 

[ClintN667]

This is one of my buddies tracks that he did a few months ago. He always does some quick clips of gear and always sounds great.



Any time him or Bubbastain post a vid I watch.

 

[RaceU4her]

Have you heard Loath yet ?

Not sure, will check out today though

 

[JackBootedThug]

not 2022 but new to me...

 

[Nigel]

TBH I haven't heard ANY tones in 2020 that blew my mind, lol

Listen to Hum's 2020 masterpiece, Inlet. Our own Zack Wish did an amazing cover of perhaps my favorite off that album, "In the Den."

I appreciate the talent, and your recommendation, but this is really not my style of music or my style of guitar tone brother

thought it was Hetfield at first....he's channeling his inner metallica.

What kind of tones are you into?

 

[DanTravis62]

What kind of tones are you into?

I'm into mostly nwobhm/power/classic metal, and some older death and black - I really like the tones of accept, scorpions, blind guardian, helloween, iced earth, diamond head

Modern metal like KSE, Lamb of god, etc actively annoy me. And there are a very few doom type bands I enjoy - Candlemass, thergothon, skepticism are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head

I really just don't care for most modern metal sounds

i like the term "channeling", its like a polite way of saying nice try it was actually the "growls" after that though that literally made me LOL. Check out the album Alien by Strapping Young Lad, it sounds like this kind of but good

 

[Devin]

This is very late 2021 but I'd say it fucks

You like lower preamp gain/higher power amp gain British tones with high energy riffing. I can relate! Would “Wake Up Dead” by Megadeth be a good example?

 

[JackBootedThug]

yes...I was amazed that I could hear bass...

 

[Markedman]

Here,...... you can't beat this tone. Mixed amps, and when the Recto kicks in, holy fuck. Best recorded tone ever.

Yes. I like faster stuff with British style tones. "Wake up dead" probably isn't the best example - that's a rockman, I think. Used as a preamp into a Marshall and a fender twin IIRC. But in that ballpark.

Kai Hansen is one of my favorites



As well as Weiki



Manni from grave digger has sick bogner toans



But my all time favorite is Jon Schaffer, by a long shot (skip to 1:10 if you don't wanna hear the piano intro)

This is a phenomenon that has always baffled me. It's difficult enough, finding a tone/sound that identifies you as an individual. I know guys who have been playing for decades, and still can't find a sound.
