These guys embody what "metal" guitarists should be these days. Respectable, articulate, knowledgeable, humble, and down to earth. Some rockers have an attitude. Like they are so special, or they don't use that "theory crap." Or "it's all about being heavy or dark..." Hell with that. We have seen heavy, there is alot of it. How about melodic, emotional, memorable? These guys certainly now carry the "guitar god" torch that In Flames lit back in the day.

@matthewk7777 Look into some all tube amps for some awsome METAL tones. A mesa dual rec, peavey 5150, and if you got the cash maybe a Framus cobra or Splawn amp. They use a custom Parker Fly and a Caparison Dellinger guitar with EMG 85's in the bridge position pickup. I think they boost the amps with a overdrive pedal, maybe a Maxon od or an Ibanez tube screamer. Hope this helps!

These guys embody what "metal" guitarists should be these days. Respectable, articulate, knowledgeable, humble, and down to earth. Some rockers have an attitude. Like they are so special, or they don't use that "theory crap." Or "it's all about being heavy or dark..." Hell with that. We have seen heavy, there is alot of it. How about melodic, emotional, memorable? These guys certainly now carry the "guitar god" torch that In Flames lit back in the day.
