Devil Doll, Green Carnation(re-united and will play LoDDoD), Psychotic Waltz, Spiral Architect, Lost Horizon(re-united with Heiman) That about covers it.

He did state in the Swedish Rock, or Classic Rock, or whatever that the album would upset the "metal geeks." It seems like he stated in that same interview that it may be "fusion." The cover art is quite awesome and it looks like a departure from the usual Travis Smith fare. Actually, the cover...

Yes! I've been waiting for this forever! My Question: When traveling at a subsonic speed during the last one hour of hypersleep, which vector of the Romulan nebula will suffer the wrath of the impenetrable quickening?

i was curious to what amp settings or pedal setting would be best for a tech metal guitar tone. high mids and treble with minimal bass?

Did you take into account that the tuning is Eb not standard E?

I'm not a member of the band, but I would guess: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Brand X, Return to Forever, Tribal Tech, etc.

I would recommend going to Voodoo amps and have them make you a custom rig. I have one that I acquired in a trade and it is pretty solid. Kinda similar to the JCM 800 of the 80's. I traded my JCM 900 for it.

Be careful when buying from GEMM. I only payed a few dollars more than that and I got mine directly from the label. It generally runs for about $50 on ebay. Totally worth every penny and I wouldn't consider selling for any price.

Sounds like Fates Warning to me. It is their only work and I have a friend who is supposed to be sending me their demo. Search out the band Trivial Act, they are similar to Manitou and just as great.

I heard it for the first time Friday night. Simply AMAZING, but it is just too damn long. I listened to 7 songs and was completely exhausted. I think there are 16 tracks total.

Just won my shirt off ebay!! Well, a few weeks ago, but I am very pleased. Can't wait till winter gets here, it is a long sleeve, but who cares?:rock:

Supuration - The Cube

For whomever can answer efficiently. I'm going to assume that part of it has to do with production. But I was wondering exactly gives you that really clean, "cold", techy feel? A lot of mids and some treble with very little bass?

No disrespect to Asegir, but he is not the best. As far as tech metal these days go I would say these guys: Hannes Grossman - Necrophagist that guy in Spawn of Possession Dave Murray (not the IM guitarist, "google" Tholus or Deserts of Traun) Hunter Ginn - Canvas Solaris Charlie Zeleney -...

Yeah, Rivers Cuomo is a big metal fan. I would love to have had lessons from Matheos, Jarzombek, or Masvidal. BTW: Glad you like the Manitou!!
