It's no secret that I have a love affair with the awesomely heavy and sludgy Orange Amps. They have basically been a staple in the fusion of hardcore and heavy metal we have seen (think Fall Out Boy but heavier). With such great sound, you know you will be treated to a great live show when you see the roadies hauling these badboys out on stage after the shitty opener you skipped.
So what amazingly heavy/sludgy prog bands equipped with 8-Strings have had the foresight to realize the eventual dominance of Orange amps?
Godsmack look-a-likes Charm City Devils who use Orange to boost their radio rock sound with a heavy smash-face attitude
Punk-metal fusionists Hawthorne Heights who have paved the way for radio metal worldwide (sooo underrated)
One of the most progressive mosh-pop bands Mayday Parade. Their live show is ten times louder live with these orange boxes sitting front row
Nu-metal pioneers Slipknot use them too, only they dont employ 8-strings which really hurts their sound. If Vermilion was recorded with 8-strings, I think the speakers in my car would be blown
