ARCH ENEMY GUITAR TONE - Doomsday Machine 

Have a great Friday everyone!

Try recreating Slaughter Of The Soul. With all the self-made gear on that album it should be interesting.

This album, no lie, changed my life. I was 15 years old, and saw the music video for Nemesis on Head Bangers ball, on MTV2 late on a Saturday night. It was 2005. This was my introduction to female vocals in metal. And my introduction to melodic death metal. I honestly had no idea WHAT the fuck it was! This was before the internet was as accessible. Obviously I knew it was metal. But I had no idea what I was seeing/hearing. All I knew, is that I was LOVING IT!!!! I actually remember thinking, I was like, this sounds kinda like power metal, but really heavy like death metal. I found the cd Doomsday Machine at Wal Mart of all places! Bought it, listened to it for months straight! Amazing album! Put me on the path to become a guitarist. I discovered Children of Bodom shortly after. And the rest is history. I really miss the days of CD's. The internet is a great tool. But we are over saturated with content. Making it harder to truly appreciate something, like seeing a music video on TV. Geeking out. And searching for the CD. Then listening to the CD as a whole, in the proper order. I feel like we lost a sacred ritual.

I was very surprised when you played "My Apocalypse" that it sounded dead on! Very great job on this one Ola!

Awesome tone…love Arch Enemy! Saw them live with Trivium a few years ago.

Doomsday Machine, oh man. This album was my first taste of Arch Enemy and it blew me the fuck away. Probably my fave of theirs.

Andy Sneap's old band Sabbat was a brutally underrated thrash band from back in the day. "History of a Time to Come" is such an amazing album. I still love that band!

Fun fact....or weird fact...? but Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy was touring with one of those Krank amps around 2005. What a world of difference the tones on Doomsday Machine are from From Under The Cork Tree

Thank you so much Ola. When you opened with Skeleton Dance I freaking jumped. It's probably my all time favorite. That solo man, out of this world.

I remember some pictures when they were recording that album. theyr're probably long gone but there was the REV1 head and the Racktifier (rack version of the Dual Rectifier).

Ola Englund. The original badass hero of Sweden. Right here.

Doomsday Machine is still probably my favorite sounding AE-album as well

Oh thank you very much for doing this video archenemy is one of my favorite metal bands Michael amott and his brother Christopher were the biggest reason I picked up the guitar at 21 years old I was a late bloomer they inspired me big time!!

I knew you've saved the Nemesis riff for the moment with the right pickups, you bastard

Ammott also had his Randall V2 "Ninja" back then, too.

Gotta play the odd Pantera riff. Never fails.

Starting with My Apocalypse *chef's kiss*

Never really got into Arch Enemy, but I've been listening to this album every now and then recently. Excellent stuff.

One of my favorite records of all time as well, especially production-wise. And all this time I thought they used a 5150...huh! Ola the educationer-er

Michael Amott is an underrated riff machine. Early AE featues some of the meanest and tastiest riffs in exteme metal to this day. It is pity that the band is a mere shadow of itself now. You now, shadows and dust....

Arch enemy touring with Megadeth on Gigantour is what got me into heavier music. After I saw them live I had to listen to everything they had out till then.

I loved early Arch Enemy, I always say that they changed after Angela left, and it wasn't just the vocals, it was everything. This album and Khaos Legions are heavy as hell and really enjoyable to me. Great riffs, awesome tone, good songwriting, and RIPPING solos. 🤘🤘

Ooooh this is their best album.

I miss Angela ❣️

This is the album that changed my life and the way I even looked at the guitar. I was so set on playing as fast as I could and the idea of vibrato never even crossed my mind. Everything was sweep sweep sweep picking back then lol. Everything I did sounded so sterile when I sat back and analyzed this album. I was like holy shit how do they sound like that so I spent countless hours watching lesson videos of them and taking a step back in my playing to really focus on articulation, feel, tone and vibrato to get the sound I fell in love with from that album. I found new favorites in the amott brothers and gus g and they are still to this day my favorite players!

That Skeleton Dance riff and the way you play it is super spot on! I dig that album too one of my favorite from them! 🤘🏻

I got my first taste of doomsday machine when I saw a video of nemesis playing on the TV's at the Culture Room in Florida while I was waiting for the Otep concert. I was absolutely stunned and I made sure to take a picture of the soundcard. Later that night I scoured for MediaFire links and boy when I got to play it for the first time it absolutely redefined how I wanted to sound as a guitar player. I wouldn't be playing metal anymore if not for this album.

Kick arse album! Love the Gus solo on taking back my soul... Plus all the sweet riffs, and production.

What a fucking album. It's not quite Anthems of Rebellion but it's still a masterpiece. Arch Enemy are what made melodic death metal my favourite genre. Or at least they started the process. Scar Symmetry sealed the deal lol.

"The tube screamer is on" You could almost say it's... MaxON 🤣🤣😅🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

My personal favorite arch enemy album and tone.

Ola,I'm a drummer but always loved guitar,you kick ass dude,plus you don't seem to have a guitar god ego,you seem friendly,all around great guy. Anyway,I always check in,plus your music is fantastic man,and I'm going on 56 years old,keep on shreddin'🤘🤘🤘🤘

Ola playing Nemesis. Love it.

Ohh! Finally some love for Krank rev1🖤 I feel like these amps are forgotten. They really kick ass - and i love mine🤘

Oh man, Doomsday Machine was the first metal album I ever bought, when I was like 13/14, such a banger

Do a coffee with Ola with Michael Amott

KRANK AMPS YEAH!! and the C tuning sounds beautiful!

Yes it's chunky... Yes I can hear it... Yes I love it Yes I have a REv 1 at home that I haven't plugged in since covid and I miss it

My Apocalypse is still one of my favorite songs to this day. It's THE DEFINITION of a heavy groove imho.

Lovin that KRANK. major throwback of mid 2000's metal.

That album really did have a killer sound.

Those Drums on that album!

One of my all time favourite bands/albums, thank you so much Ola

Truly love this album and this channel. You nailed it Ola

Awesome, Ola! Thank you so much for putting the work into making this video. Sounds great! Keep on keep'n on. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Back to 2005...that album just made death metal huge!, awesome!. Great job!

Great video Ola! Thanks man. This is one of my favorite modern metal tones!

1. Thanks for doing this! I've been hunting down this tone for years now! You're a saint! 2. I love the fact you started with Skeleton Dance! Cheers from Mexico! P.S. You should make a Iced Earth Horror Show video!

That guitar’s on its period !!

I think the Krank logo makes it sound a little more badass

Big thanks for making this video!!! Doomsday Machine is my favorite Arch Enemy album!!

Absolutely banger of an album...

This brings back some memories

Thanks a lot, Ola. I love this album.

awesome video. Doomsday Machine is one of my favorit metal albums ever. the sound is amazing!

Loved this album. Shortly after finding it at the CD shop I bought the epic DVD they put out. Great quality 🤘🏾

My favorite AE album I listened to it over and over when I was in high school. C tuning! 🤘

Ola has the two favorites albums like me too :') That albums and are so special in my life!! Long live rock n roll said Ronnie.

Amazing sounding album, kicked so many butts back in the day.

i thought the tone with the one guitar was sick. you started playing the black one. bad ass. tone. !!!!

My Apocalypse was sounding great dude! Would love to hear a full cover of that tune! It's on my list of songs to cover already, so thanks for seeking out this tone aswell. I'll have to see what profiles I can dig up on the Kemper now! 👍🤘

Great video Ola! Thanks

I got the Michael Amott signature wah, with the same graphic. And the pedal was almost as much as the guitar!

This is my favorite album of ALL TIME!!! Thank you so much for doing this Ola! I totally agree that the blend of everything was so so perfect on this album! :-)

My favorite album of theirs! Man, I put this album on blast at least once a week! Starting with some "Skeleton Dance"! This is going to be a treat! :)

Coffee with Ola and Michael Amott soon?!

Ola, you should try to find an old Michael Amott ESP Ninja. They might be hard to find nowadays, but they're such killer guitars.

That was super sick!!! Definitely similar tone

This is awesome! Doomsday is such a great sounding album and pointed me in the direction of Andy sneap productions haha

Krank, Fortin, Ibanez TS and Ola = Beautiful tone. 🤘🏾

Niceeee so happy you did arch enemy one of my favourite bands of all time and one of the best melodic death bands out there

Ola could you please do Wages Of Sin. I love this video.

JB and '59 is my goto pickup setup and now I feel way better about it lol.

Teenage me grinning from ear to ear. What a kickass album, definitely top 5 album if I was stranded on a desert island. sick video man.

My favorite Arch Enemy album.

My new favourite video.

My Apocalypse was so spot on I thought it was the real song.

Arch Enemy’s best album hands down

Nemesis was always my favorite from that album!

I like the camera angle which makes the headstock look the same size as the guitar body.

Saw Arch Enemy on that tour. I remember seeing them use the Krankenstein live . Ola I agree w/ your thoughts on this particular album.

Nemesis's intro was sick

One of my favorite melodeath albums of all time!

I was hoping you might play Enter the Machine. Ah well. Great video Ola!

pretty spot on...i hope the haunted and arch enemy can tour the usa in 2022

I really need to play my Dean Select more. its lovely!

Best tone on album " Burning Bridges", great TONE !!!!

Next time don't you want to try Hellhammer's sound? It's one of my favourite guitar tones ever:D

Hell yeah one of my favorite metal albums

Thanks for all your great videos. Very cool \m/

I played this song nonstop when i learned it i was playin allot of megadeth n metallic stuff but this had crazy tones wahs. I remember my band didnt like that beginning riff lol it was hilarious i loved apocalypse

Great Video idea and killer Tone ☝️

My favorite Arch Enemy album

Awesome video man. I used to use that exact Krank , ended up trading it for peavy 6505+ lol is a great amp man. Both of them.

Well, shit, one tone dream came true. "I Am Legend - Out For Blood" is in Top 3 songs for me both from this album and from the band.
