I think Ola got close with a Guvnor and 5150, I believe?

Speaking of old school death metal... Chuck is who made me want a 8100. I've seen people say this tone is shit, and to those of you... Fuck off.
I second that: fuck off!

I've heard Bill say he used a Guvnor. For some reason I was thinking TS9, but Heartwork doesn't sound like your standard TS9.

For me, I’m torn between this tone from a tiny French band called The Mars Chronicles. I became obsessed with the guitar tones on their EP after I first listened to it.
Special shout out to the guitar tone on Dillinger Escape Plan‘s Ire Works. If this tone was on an album tuned lower than standard, it’d be illegal.

A couple of favourites people may not think about/ may disagree with!
The Haunted - One Kill Wonder. It rages, just rages.
Nevermore - Enemies Of Reality (original recording). Very thick and menacing.
Morbid Angel - Domination. Thick, punchy.
Tool's Aenima and Lateralus tones are God standard to me as well.

Wasn’t heartwork something wacky like the guvnor boosting the crunch channel
Heartwork was mainly 5150 boosted with a Guvnor into an enormous double sized frankencab + a tiny Marshall practice amp blended for the top end.
What's a bit unclear is the Marshall 6100 was either blended as well for some songs or used for solos.

I fully believe the Van Halen brown sound would work amazingly well on a "real" metal album.

Kataklysm - In the Arms of Devastation

Whoops, got a couple more to add. And they're probably the best 5150 tones ever put on tape

Harvey Milk does some really incredible things with a pair of x100b's.
I've never heard these before but find this to be a fairly reasonable assessment. They have a lot of juice.

That is a "song"?

Oxford defines "song" as a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung so literally yes, but more importantly, the only claims at stake here are:
1. He did some incredible things with a pair of x100b's
2. Women Dig It

I mean, look at how many metal bands use some iteration of his signature amp. While they obviously don't dial it in the same, and they don't use the chorus effects and whatnot, the foundation is certainly there.

This isn't the kind of music you'd expect to have awesome guitar tone, but this is one of my favorites anyway:
Especially around 2:00 when he chugs the 8th notes - that's basically the tone I'm always going for.
