At the Gates

Anyone know what equipment for guitars did they use for Slaugther of the Soul?

I love that cd, and they were so ahead of their time with it.

Re: At the Gates

Dude they just used a Marshall and a stomp and a 5150. That is what I remembered reading...that record started alot of what you hear today...from Lamb Of God to Arch Enemy and every american , swedish , finnish death metal band on the planet.....

I think it is just they way it's recorded...everyone wanted that sound...I did a demo...my shit sounds like that BIG TIME...it is posted here!

it was recorded in such a way it just sounded soooooo RAW and in your face...that is what I go for with my Uber....I love that shit!!

At The Fuckin' Gates...man they should get back together... [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Re: At the Gates

Actually it wasn't 5150. Quite hard to believe but the sound was an earlier solid state Peavey amp with a Metal Zone in front. They were playing Ibanez guitar with EMGs I think at the time.

Re: At the Gates

but I'll take your word for it..

whatever they used...magick was in the air that day!!!

Re: At the Gates

Ya, I never heard on them until now, and they are amazing. Right when I heard their music, I saw so many of todays bands just like them. They were way ahead of their time.
As I lay dying, Darkest Hour, Break the Silence all have some influence from them.

Thanks!

Re: At the Gates

Slaughter Of The Soul could quite possibly be my favourite album of all time... The production on it is superb, I think I read somewhere that they spent around a month recording it, and the album only clocks in at around 29min long if I remember correctly ?

Re: At the Gates

Yeah,it was a solid state peavey head with a metal zone and a custom built cabinet

Re: At the Gates

From the liner notes of the album :
One Boss Heavy Metal distortion pedal, one Bosse Metal Zone distortion pedal, one Peavey Supreme 160 amp and a custom built cabinet, including 2x10" speakers and 2x12" speakers.
You've just got to figure out the settings hahaha.

Re: At the Gates

Yep, it's what Anders Bjorler wrote on the CD.
Btw, now he is in The Haunted, and it's rather good too (check www.the-haunted.com for a couple of cool songs [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ): Caparison, EMGs and 5150 all the way!

Re: At the Gates

i don't know, but I think that is the best tone I've ever heard on a album. I'm pretty pissed off now since I get the Fender Roc Pro.... I want what they had.

[veliyasin]

Re: At the Gates

Quite honestly, don't try getting what they had and get the same tone. That tone is really quite like the luck of the draw. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It might actually not work as well as it did in that specific mix.

Re: At the Gates

I love At The Gates. Definately in my top 10 list.

For tones, however, I think Heartwork was a little better [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

5150 + a little bit of a 15 watt Marshall practice amp!

Re: At the Gates

That one album spawned so many copy cat bands and albums. One of the great moments in metal really. One of the things I love about the album is the thing many people hate about it. I love that it's so short, that much metal condenced into such a short time! It's so good I can listen to it 5 times in a row and not get bored.

Re: At the Gates

yeah dudes...all of the current popular american metalcore (and every scandanavian band from the past 8 years like horns said) stemmed from these three albums:

at the gates - slaughter of the soul
in flames - the jester race
dark tranquillity - the gallery
