Most Crushing Tone in Metal.

Cute

I know a lot of the tone is Jo’s bass but Gaddamn.

 

[skoora]

Yeah, I don't know those dudes.

“Didn’t you come with them?”
“Nah dude, I …uh…nah man, I came wi….”
“Yeah, yeah, I saw you guys pull up in that stretch white limo that RuPaul was driving”

Iconic tone. Check this out :45 in music starts. I think bloodbath did a real good job doing the hm2 tone in a modern style mix.

Money riff at 0:19

Hoffman brothers'-era Deicide - first three albums, it was a hard pick between this and Repent To Die


Pungent Stench's Been Caught Buttering album

Pungent Stench rules.

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Yes, yes, you do. That album is insanely sick.

I realized it was Unleashed the second I heard it. Not sure why I didn’t recognize the cover

 

[headlessdeadguy]

Some Peavey Ultra action.

"Crushing" is in the ear and mind of the beholder. Some of my fiends believe Dimes tones and riffs from his last few albums are super badass crushing, whereas I think they are just simplistic noise. The super down tuned stuff i hear alot lately(sleep token etc)is not crushing at all to me. Neither is the trem picking often heard in death metal. Or the huge weird chords that have a purposeful dissonance to them.

For myself, a riff is crushing when I wanna figure it out...so obviously for me it's a mental thing.

To paraphrase David Lee Roth from one of his Joe Rogan appearances:

Van Halen wasn’t cool because we were cool, we were cool because we made you feel cool

Still the best

Still the best

This. Remember when you first heard it? It wasn't just the music, tho this thread is about tone, it was the lyrical content too. You can feel James pouring his backend heart out about his upbringing. Even when the musics tempo goes into halftime during the "torn from me" portion of the bridge, it's just brutal as fuck. Yes, the tone was some of the best crushing shit we had heard up to that point...far better than any of their contemporaries.

It was like having a father figure lol

His lyrics are so genuine, to this day I just listen to them to get through the good, the bad and the ugly

More manly metal tones for all of you

Regarding Metallica..I mean C’mon..Fight Fire With Fire. The riff, the tone. It’s still crushes. Plus Damage Inc.
