Florida’s own BLOODBATHER recently dropped an absolute burner of an EP called Silence via Rise Records, and to showcase their unique blend of hardcore, industrial, and metalcore, guitarist Salem Vex is here with this exclusive guitar playthrough of the opening track “God”, only right here, on Gear Gods!
If you’re a metalhead (gonna take a wild shot in the dark and guess that you are), you’ll know that 2020 has been hard as hell on the music industry as a whole, and MAN does this track make me want to go to a show right this second! The grinding guitar tones, punchy drums, and overall slap-you-in-the-face energy of the mix has made me open up the pit in my own house and boy oh boy are my landlords PISSED. In all sincerity though, “God” is a banger from start to finish and if this song doesn’t get you pumped up, you may have to consult your doctor.
As for the gear, here’s what Salem Vex is using:
- ESP LTD Black Metal guitar
- Bareknuckle Warpig Ceramic Bridge pickups
- 10-52 Ernie Ball strings
- STL Tones Will Putney guitar sim
Be sure to stream Silence now, as well as follow Bloodbather on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Who knows when we’ll be able to see this band play live, but we’ll be patiently awaiting the day.
