Man, I'm with you. I didn't like the tone, but I hated the music too, so that was tough to watch. I'm a metalhead, but I do not like most modern styles I've heard. I think I might be in the minority. I went to see Scale The Summit on a friend's recommendation, and I walked out halfway through the set haha. They had great tone though. But those guys were somewhat along these lines as far as the style of writing to me.
I forgot to mention that this comes in a 6 and 7 string version. It's weird that I hadn't heard of this, because I check out the Schecter site often for new releases, but I found it on some shop's site. That video was from December, and it's crazy to me I hadn't found it until now. The six string has the Pegasus and Sentient set from Duncan, which I think you could easily dial in to sound fantastic. I don't know what was going on with that recording haha.
