BENIGHTED (FR)

Brutal mix of death, black metal and hard core is a trademark of another French formation in May-players squad - Benighted. Formed in 1998 the band has released 4 longplay albums so far and played numerous concerts with such acclaimed bands like Immolation, Krisiun, Napalm Death, Aborted and Slipknot. Band's guitarist, Olivier, is playing our Setius GTM 7 model.

Benighted is a brutal metal band formed in France in May 1998. First album "Benighted" was influenced by both black and death metal, then their music shifted to more technical death metal in the next releases. Their third album titled 'Insane Cephalic Production' found band's sound more brutal and powerful then ever before and Beinghted started intensive touring as a headliner. Like any other band, Benighted suffered from several line-up changes but finally personal problems had ended and this extreme formation prepared their fourth album 'Identisick' released in August 2006.

Olivier, band's guitarist, signed endorsement deal for our Setius GTM 7 model. "This guitar is great! Speaking about conception, lute-making, coating, everything is perfect as expected from Mayones. I am completely satisfied with this machine. I would even say that after having tried many of famous brands, I finally found the guitar, which tuned in B sounds perfectly." - explains his decision. His guitar is a standard version of our bolt-on best-seller: Mahogany body in transparent black finish, Mahogany/Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard powered with DiMarzio Evolution pickups.

"This guitar feeds my entire needs: the note is stable and tuned, the sound is precise and full, the weight is perfectly equilibrated and the comfort of the fingerboard is amazing in spite of other 7 strings. What a pleasure to play it! Also the Dimarzio pickups really bluffed me: the texture fits exactly Benighted extreme but warm soundstyle."
