Bands like slipknot go down to drop A tuning, and cannibal corpse goes down even further with drop G, but are there any bands that you know of that go even lower than drop G? Be interesting to find out, and I’ll probably check out some of their music!
I love Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin, and many other bands that use extremely dropped tunings, but there’s a certain point where it gets too low for me. I just don’t see the point in playing that low lol.
Meshuggah, (don’t say you didn’t see this coming), pretty much had the lowest.
On the song “Spasm”, the 8th string is tuned as such that the open Bb is an octave and a half step lower than a standard 7th string.
Meshuggah, Korn, Suicide Silence
Not really a big fan of bands that downtune to the max, because it started becoming boring and generic really fast, but those are the best examples.
Humanity's Last Breath, Buster Odeholm plays a 6 string tuned to drop E down an entire octave, with a .66 gauge string on the low end. Vildhjarta uses two 7 strings tuned similarly, with the .66 on the low end, they share a guitarist/producer, one of their vocalists, and I believe a bassist with Humanity's Last Breath. Buster also plays Hendrix style flipped lefty, which adds a bit of high end attack on top of it.
