Not drop actually, despite some Immortal tabs stating the contrary. Just watch some Sons era live clips and you'll see how much more efficiently they're playing it in D standard, not drop D.

Oh yeah, the first Vader album! Go Rezendes.

Morbid Angel's "Abominations" and I *think* Thy Kingdome Come were in standard, all their other releases are in Eb or A# on the 7-strings(same shit, half step down)

__________________

Dimmu Borgir mainly plays in standard tuning. A good album to try playing is "Stormblast"(the original not the re-recording).

1- Martyr is ALWAYS in E standard, exept for few songs in Drop D, on hopeless hopes there is no song in drop if i remember very well, and on warp zone there are only 3 songs max in Drop D.

2- god dammit man how could people play Spiral Architect, I would like to see someone play these songs: Conjuring Collapse, Insect

-Unexpect is in E....but fuck,..there are no tabs
-Borknagar
-cradle of filth
-Finntroll
-korpiklaani
-Old man's child
-Quo Vadis, only few are in D
-Sonata Artica

What's really wrong with the re-recording? I own it and my girlfriend owns the original. The re-recordig isn't bad or anything.

You should learn some emperor. It's almost all in standard with the exception of some of the last stuff they put out.

I know show no mercy was in sandard, but was live undead standard too? it has some stuff from show no mercy

Not true, their first album was in C# I believe.

__________________

Midnight: Marduk?...No, they have always still in E tuning, even in the first album.

And slayer has never been in C#

For those 2 band I've check it out 4 minutes ago!

__________________

Um, yeah Slayer has been in C#. Not sure on the specifics because I'm not really into slayer. But I know that song Bloodlines is in C#. I prefer to say Db, though.

__________________

drop C# for blood lines, but they still in the same tuning as usual...Eb

__________________

I may be wrong, but I could have sworn that Marduk's first album use C# tuning. Anyways, it's not a big deal. Most black metal bands use standard tuning. Examples include Mutiilation, Maniac Butcher, Von, Watain, Burzum, Vlad Tepes, Bekhira, Deathspell Omega etc.

__________________

Burzum???? Well Lost Wisdom (the song) is in E

Some Martyr is in open D as well, apparently, as Dan revealed in an interview with Metal Observer.

Spiral Architect is all in Eb, in an account of how they wrote the songs on A Sceptic's Universe on their forum, I think written by Asgeir.

Alarum!

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the re-recording. I own both as a matter of fact. Its just that i feel that the original is a little easier to play because they don't have as many of the melody parts developed as much as in the re-recording. Also it's a little slower than the re-recording. The re-recording was my first Dimmu cd but now that i got the original off eBay i actually prefer to listen to that over the re-recording for some odd reason...

ah, My favorite is still Enthrone Darkness Triumphant. That had the most ambience and atmosphere to it. Stormblast re-recording is a close second.

__________________

Nop, only drop D and E tuning (tab books) Maybe in the last cd they have few in D, i dont know, but for the first 2 only E and drop D

__________________

3 Inches Of Blood is another standard E band.

Martyr are in Drop C# on their most recent album. They switch between Drop D and Open E on the other two albums.

__________________

...martyr? drop C# shiiit man, where did you see that?

__________________

I reckoned he was detuned because of the tone of the album, he is using fatter strings, and I caught a note lower than a D somewhere on it too.

And Bob, note: - "...as Dan revealed in an interview with The Metal Oberser."
