Think he's using two types of Strat on this tour. One definitely has a Sustainer system fitted (photos floating around). He did switch out for certain songs so could possibly be different tuning or just a backup.
Oh sorry, you meant the tribute.I googled 'The Ritual' but couldn't find it or is that the wrong name?
Yeah a misunderstanding both ways: I didn't realise the picture was of the real Ghost Thanks
I hope that tube into the helmet is functional because that outfit looks uncomfortable. I'd be sweating within minutes.Alpha or Omega?
I followed a bit how the lead player updated his Strat from a non-locking trem to a FR:

Reminds me of Steve-O’s Fart Mask:Alpha or Omega?

The helmet has tube to warm up the sound.I hope that tube into the helmet is functional because that outfit looks uncomfortable. I'd be sweating within minutes.
Apparently the drummer has been a mainstay for the recordings (not like the other studio players). Shows are an entirely different story.I'm glad I found this thread, and thanks to Matt for posting the link to their performance on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I had never heard of them, but am now a definite fan. Their latest album, "Impera", is a collection of well arranged and performed songs that illustrate the talent of Tobias Forge and his fellow bandmates. And although as a guitar player, I usually key in on those players, I am most impressed with their drummer, who really brings a lot of energy to this group.

But on the recordings, I've used the same drummer for most records — a guy named Ludvig Kennberg. But he's been drumming on the majority of the records — from the first one to the third one, fourth one, and one of the EPs and stuff in the middle — but never with us live.

Henry,
Thanks for the link. An interesting way to manage a band. I suppose it reminds me somewhat of Steely Dan, who similarly used studio musicians for recording. However, it must be a challenge to find musicians who can replicate the talent of the studio musicians on the record and are willing to wear those masks during all their performances.

Seems like their live lead guitar player is Per Eriksson. You might already know that...

Unlikely, but not impossible,
To the random bedroom player, no it's not bad (and that's not a dig, I have no idea what your background is but I for one am certainly a bedroom player). However, while not complex, I can see why bands are hesitant to make "their sound" so public and accessible. They shouldn't have to provide you with anything additional for coming to see a show. Just my thoughts!Should it cross anyone's mind the next time Fractal team link up would appreciate asking. I'm seeing them for the 2nd time this year in Philly (w/ Mastodon) pretty soon and always buy the good seats... between all the tickets and merch we bought at least one of their Axe FXs. What's a few presets to them
If not still worth every penny, and last time out we saw them with Volbeat and they were both in top form
