Akuma 悪魔 (9 String Guitar Metal / Djent Song)

My good friend Johnny Ciardullo wrote this banger, and we decided to record it together when I got my 9 string guitar! This song is ridiculously heavy, and it has more 0's than we can count - perfect for djent. This song is played in AEAEADGBE tuning on a 9 string Ibanez RG9 guitar with an EMG909X Pickup.

[@Skeletal33]

Really digging it. Start a band. Tour!

[@raymondwilliams2609]

Andrew Baena Absolutely BANGIN' tune, mate!! 🇬🇧👍👍🤘

[@cruz5248]

Canadian winters are djenty as fuck.

[@down7unedpc740]

Is this the mick gordon?

[@NikNocturnal]

Sounds great dude! :D

[@AngirasDarbha]

Cover out yet?

[@LexiPixeL_]

That intro riff is nasty.

[@WhiteMageBenoni]

This totally fits for Akuma's new theme in Street Fighter. It really amps you up and gets the blood flowing.

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Ironically enough we recorded this before that character was ever announced haha, good timing!

[@wihan2013]

The Era of 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 with different background synths goes on (LOVE the song)

[@NewDBar]

i love how this is just randomly heavier than todays triple A metal bands

[@commit123]

piggy pig what?

[@LowFrequencyOxidizer]

I wish I could hit like a million times on this. Heavy as fuck man. Keep that shit coming.

[@Iisthatrandomguy]

that reflections shirt is fire

[@Skeletal33]

We need to see a brutal death metal band in the vein of Dying Fetus or Suffo playing 9 string. Let's go

[@jamesmejia5372]

super cool, I love 9 string guitar!

[@MullilluM]

This song has some badass combo strings.

[@ryota886]

Love that 王 shirt

[@IDONTEXIST_6]

ryota886 How did you get that logo??

[@karolar1231]

The theme at the beginning and ending I would call "pathological ambulance" or "industrial donkey". Good song :)

[@EknineEd1385]

Still prefer the 8's honestly, no hard feelings but I just don't like 9 string Djent. Your 8 string tuned to F has always been my favorite.

[@brandonduckworth5290]

\,,/fuckingmetalgods\,,/ much respect to Baena and the crew. kill it every time

[@dumithegreat3892]

and now it’s on the newest GP EP!

Been a long time subscriber to Pete Cottrell. Great work. The high pitch effect brings everything together nicely. Great work! Subscribed and liked!

[@progressiveajrz2859]

Holy shit..that was Fucking SICK !!!

[@Ruffpatch87]

To this day is still on repeat

[@Ruffpatch87]

Still on repeat ❤

[@thenightismyrefuge]

How the breakdown of "Veil Of Maya - Pillars" would sound like on 9 string! :)

[@ItsEzlan]

The Darkness has Taken me over! this is so so Good!

[@3rdimpact243]

You need to start putting your vocals on your original instrumentals man!!!

[@jb6937]

It's kinda nuts that I even have to say it, but open notes on the 9 string E are so underappreciated. This is fucking rad.

[@followfornothing]

THAT WAS SICK!!!!

[@matttaylor1449]

How are you getting the really abrasive sounding melody at the start/chorus of the song?

[@tfwnoyandere]

computer

[@MaelstromTheDemon]

WHY IS THIS NOT OFFICIALLY RELEASED

[@thataussieguy6549]

eargasmic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice work

[@slamminsalmonamigo]

[@artoexplores]

Listen to reflections and conform :)

[@slamminsalmonamigo]

[@metalernest1]

[@Heavymetalinigo10]

[@down7unedpc740]

[@tfwnoyandere]

josh travis is god

[@emilymarley8546]

This song is so amazing!!!!

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Thanks so much for checking it out!

[@PRXCYXN]

[@glacialembers]

Song is lit. subscriber earned

[@emanuelecurreli7177]

[@adampine607]

おおお素晴らしい！！

[@gabrielpalmer9547]

Sick! Has a menacing atmosphere to it and I dig that, plus I didn't know you could tune THAT low haha.

[@andrewsinclair5899]

I dig it

[@ectomancy]

Sick.

[@wherethewavesareborn4997]

Holy moly Andrew. It's been a long time since I watched your videos (nearly 2 years ago) and oh shit, what an improvement!! The overall quality in this is astonishing, Congrats!

[@BaenaCarcosa]

haha thanks so much man! Been grinding hard

[@Thatlegalityburneracc]

Getting mad Darke complex vibes from this,amazing song.

[@user-pp3vu1uc6o]

The dying Hunter not even close lol

[@andromedadelux]

Heavy as fuck new fan and sub, Also that high twisted part is nasty as fuck, in a good way that is.

[@kylescott7654]

Repping that smokes poutine sticker!

[@johnnygotgrowls]

Kyle Scott always...forever.

[@773Spair]

With guitars going really low like this, I wonder if the 30" bass drum will see a resurfacing in popularity.

[@NewDBar]

i would love this x 10 if that beginning bit faded out a bit quicker, but omg i love this

[@metalflower9543]

Awesome! 🔥

[@anthonyyoung5891]

How am I just hearing this now. This is the sickest shit

[@casperado666]

nice. what is the effect pedal used on the high notes? sounds rad

[@senos1994]

Its produces a similar feeling to doom's soundtrack ;)

[@flix9124]

the tabs are doughnuts

[@cobalt._.27]

DOUGHNUT GENOCIDE

[@LJEmmer]

hell yeah. fuckin 9 string. hard core

[@planesofrealitymusic547]

9th!

[@Ghost17110]

s/o rflxns Is this using a 90 for the low A? How is it holding up? Also, that intro lead thing is haunting almost, how did you write/process it? Sounds like something I would hear in an underground rap beat.

[@BaenaCarcosa]

It is, and it's not holding up well lol. Had to re-tune every time we stopped recording.

[@jacobacostamasterscribe2200]

Andrew Baena are we talking double down A here? O:

[@BaenaCarcosa]

That's right!

[@jacobacostamasterscribe2200]

Andrew Baena no wonder 90 wasn't cutting it lmao. I do appreciate tuning that low though

[@Ghost17110]

I want to say that Mick Gordon used a 105 or 110 for the low A songs on the DOOM soundtrack, but even that is a bit of a low gauge for A.

[@nickdismore4210]

can you put this on itunes

[@bochasmusic7850]

brutal riff

[@blackjackmcgack]

That was so fucking heavy

[@gredangeo]

SMOKE'S POUTINE!!

[@TheZynice]

Bit of an odd request. Would it be possbile for you to upload this to spotify? I pretty often pull it up and listen to this song to this day. Keep up the great work :)

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Our old band Galactic Pegasus did end up putting out this song - you can find it on spotify through Galactic Pegasus - Akuma

[@TheZynice]

@@BaenaCarcosa Oh my apologizes. Preciate you. Have a good day

[@mattaio2728]

[@abdullahalshatti3935]

Whats the tuning and whats the gauges for the bass?

[@GuitarAudiologist]

I just played this for my 66yr old friend, because we had an argument about why I think subwoofers are necessary. He dug it.

かっけぇ！！！ 9弦の重さ、ハンパない！！！

[@lucassibucks9534]

🥵🤘🏻

[@cscarp4503]

So is the “glitching” sound in the main riff a recording trick done in production or is the guitar being heavily gated? Asking for a friend.

[@BaenaCarcosa]

It's done in post

[@cscarp4503]

Andrew Baena Very cool. Thanks!!

[@glebozimok9226]

very angry song)) 9strings, it's amazing, but like ithink, in drop E or A, that could be awesome))

[@GoldRaptor00]

+Gleb Ozimok lucky for you, the guitar is tuned to both

[@Raymx3]

why are the basses on the left and right so distorted?

[@cobalt._.27]

More 0’s than my phone’s weather app

[@Tothelightcave]

How did you make the intro? Sick!

[@Skeletal33]

Is this available anywhere to download!

[@CptPagett1996]

[@emilymarley8546]

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Johnny and I wrote them and programmed them :)

[@emilymarley8546]

I have been listening to this song non-stop learning the drums for this song. This song is amazing dude! You guys killed it!

[@SafelandingRecords]
