Hey! Sorry if this is in the wrong place or anything - I'm new here! And if I've done anything wrong... having some problems getting this forum to work for some reason... keeps saying I've already posted this topic when I haven't... hope 1000 don't suddenly appear!
I'm the vocalist in a UK based death metal band called Sarpanitum. We're starting to record our debut album (released on grindethic records) pretty soon. We're doing the drums in a professional studio and then doing the rest with my home setup. We did our demo with a drum machine with my stuff a while ago and we got pretty good results. If anyone wants to check it out - www.myspace.com/sarpanitum
Anyway, enough of the self promotion. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on getting a really good guitar sound. Something like the latest Nile album (Annihilation of the Wicked) or None So Vile by Cryptopsy. Really meaty, but still clear. Equipment wise last time I used a POD XT and DI'd it into my pc. Amp wise, I only have a power amp these days (sold my old Marshall head) and a Marshall 2x12 - can get my hands on a 4x12 if needs be though. I was happy with the sound on our demo - but it wasn't quite meaty enough, but anything I've tried to get the sound meatier always comes out with a very nasty, kind of scratchy high end sound that I can't get rid of without destroying the whole guitar tone.
Anyway - any help/tips would be greatly appreciated!
