Anyone else seen them have race before a breakdown? Buz and Ken put their guitars down on one side of the stage, leaving them to feedback, and then have a sprint race to see who can get their guitar first and come in bang on the breakdown. Total comedy.

Yeah even if you HATE the music. Unearth rarely fails live. I saw them at a Halloween show and they were on fucking roller skates the whole show.

Amazing band ! The mix is a tiny bit dull, as if the guitars were tracked a bit fizzy and needed tons of EQ, but it sounds good other than that, very large and agressive, I dig it.

Parkway Drive is killer too, I love the two last albums

I may be the only one up here but ...
Nothing beats "In the eyes of fire" (totally IMO of course

).
I LOVE the sound and the music of course, too.

To me "The March" is a step backwards.

I like "III:In The Eyes Of Fire" bc it sounds really agressive and raw, but I feel like after the 4th track things start to get a bit on the boring side of things. On the other hand other than "The Great Dividers", I feel like "Sanctity Of Brothers" might be the best song they have ever written. It just to me is perfect, it has thrash, melody, and groove all in one.

I'm from Boston, I saw these guys before they were signed to Metal Blade, and they ruled from the beginning...amazing live band. They had this free DVD they were giving out at shows, it had them playing 3 songs live in Rhode Island, I've seen it being sold as a used DVD for like $2...if you like this band, buy it if you see it. In any case, I thought The Oncoming Storm really was the best thing the band has done, and The March has some amazing groovy riffs but doesn't come anywhere close to that CD.

Hhahah me too.

I remember when they put out Stings...it was the worst sounding record ever hahah but I still loved it.

Maggai · November 2nd, 2008, 08:23 AM

Anyone see the bonus dvd that comes with the new cd?

lost_within · November 5th, 2008, 04:18 PM

Yeah I saw the bonus dvd it's pretty funny.. they also included the webisodes on it. Wonder what amps they used.. there were pictures of VHT's, Cobra's, 5150's and JCM800?

MetalJonesy · November 5th, 2008, 05:01 PM

yeah the dvd is cool!! i know andy said he didnt reamp the guitars like. i know they use the vhts alot, but cant really tell the tone as ive not listened to much done with vhts and framus stuff

Chryst Krispies · November 6th, 2008, 11:13 AM

This is slightly OT, but yesterday at work Ken S came in lookin for inflatable weights for tour. lawls we didn't have em

MetalJonesy · November 6th, 2008, 02:53 PM

MetalJonesy · November 6th, 2008, 02:56 PM

after a few listens, I think I'm starting to agree about the music. Not to say they don't have quality songs in there, but I hear they slowed down the tempo on many of their songs which might've sounded better a slightly higher tempo... JMO, of course.

Again, just personal opinion, the guitar tone on In the Eyes of Fire is awesome, but I find the tone in The March more unique. I also don't like the drums on In the Eyes of Fire whatsoever. I feel the kick hardly cuts through at all.

Romeo-a-go-go · November 16th, 2008, 09:57 AM

I fucking adore unearth.

I can listen to them anytime, anywhere for as long as possible.

Great to see a modern band so unashamedly metal.

nwright · November 18th, 2008, 08:23 AM

I believe that they used Cobras for this album, and they are using them live, at least here in the US...I've read they were using 5150's overseas, possibly due to renting rigs for overseas shows.

If all the Unearth fans don't dig the music on this one, I'll probably like it better than their previous CD's...I've never been able to get into this band at all.

Sly · November 18th, 2008, 02:05 PM

Just saw Unearth 2 days ago in Paris, they used 6505 with Mesa OS cabs, it sounded good, but I don't like Ibanez though.

lost_within · November 18th, 2008, 08:07 PM

Yeah they used 6505's here in London too, and they were fucking awesome may I add!

Gnash · December 2nd, 2008, 12:39 AM

I'm really digging the new album. I think this album is just as good as the rest.

Yes, I can clearly hear some sort of "popping" there, but doesn't sound like harsh digital clipping.

Sinister Mephisto · December 3rd, 2008, 12:59 AM

Wow, just noticed the popping. Wonder what that is?

xmidihcx · December 7th, 2008, 01:48 PM

ken always manages to crack me up, cool ass dude!

III was their finest moment, that is what a metal album should be like.

i think the whole "perfect production" thing is cool but i think unearth may actually sound better with a more raw sound. . .

breaaaaaakdownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!

it sounds like digital noise, you know that sorta popping you get when you use adat, or a program and play back/hook up some gear at the wrong clock rate!

Anyone checked their 6505-settings? Just out of curiosity...

lost_within · December 28th, 2008, 11:50 AM
