Really doe, I think it actually adds to the revolting brutality of this album. The guitar lines meld into these indefinite, evolving, waves of unsettling frequencies. There’s so much gain and so much treble that you can’t identify individual notes anymore. I still don’t know what is exactly being played in that beehive-wall of white noise guitar. How to get the sound: Boss MT-2 or Behringer UM300. All that you’re really left with are chugging rhythms with no discernible pitch. Unfortunately, the scratchy distortion hides all the killer riffing behind a veil of obnoxious, high frequencies. If you can get past the grating sound, Legion might be some of the best stuff Deicide ever wrote. It sounds like they plugged their pedals into a a BBE Sonic Maximizer, then straight into the desk with a HPF at 800hz and an upper mid boost.

Sometimes it’s bands that just rehearse without earplugs and the guitarists have degenerative hearing loss above 4k.Įither way, there are actually a lot of awesome albums with an objectively terrible distorted tone. Sometimes it is on purpose a sonic texture that adds to the brutality. It’s like they just want to punish you with a grinding level of aural discomfort and drive a piercing fizz into your ear canal. But it seems like some bands kick the un-prettiness up a notch. I mean, distortion isn’t meant to be pretty.
