Black Winters scream mids. It was one of the best purchases I've made.
fuckin hell it does. I didn't realize they offered it in a 7 string variant. Very tempted after hearing it in this video to throw it in one of my guitars....
and an 8 string version!
Wann get the 8 string Version for my great Harley Benton MultiScale-8 NT QEB
Its worth it, put it in my 7 string and it is super chunky!
At first I thought it was Keith Merrow Featuring Keither Merrow
😂
wow, totally awesome! Both pickups compliment each other.
Actually, both sets were there with Keith. The other set came home with me, and are currently installed in my guitar. Killer pickups! Video coming soon...
you have no idea how happy I am to hear this
YES! I'm so pumped, I can't even tell you, Keith. The new tune is awesome. Another killer piece of writing. Well done, you two.
I thought I would prefer the Nazgul but Black Winter sounds a lot fuller in this video. It also has more of a crunch when playing chords.
I noticed the exact same thing.
For my set up, BWs have a big but tight bottom, raw mid, with a relative smooth but pronounced high. Again, for my set up, I dig em
It's a great performance, but a bad demo as they are playing different amp Sims.....they should have used the same amp SIM patch to really give a good representation
I've always been a fan of big tight bottoms
1:37 I think my ears just jizzed and started bleeding at the same time...
I have 2 guitars with black winters, 7&6 and one with Nazgul 6. Couldn't be happier! EMG 81 for old school death metal. Everything else with these beasts.
That couch is so metal
Knowing that this is a new Demisery song has made me a happy camper. Whoot!
You have no idea how happy this, and you working with Jeff Loomis on his new album, makes me. I love this song and I can't wait to buy the new album.
Your camera angles were the inspiration of my videos. Glad to see big things are happening for ya.
That wedding ring is so metal :O
Love the bite of the Black Winters.
I have nazgul bridge with black winter neck on my jackson dinky js 22. Im pretty happy with the weirdness.
I get the clean tone by dialing back the volume
Jesus! What a nice video. Getting a Nazgul for my bridge and a black winter for the neck on my new VMNTX
Spreek eens normaal Nederlands
I run a Pegasus/Black winter in my RG752
Nicole Smrekar I was thinking about Peg/BW on my RG8, how do you like your setup? I don't have specific needs, except a nice output.
Nick H
LOVE it, it's articulate, high output,little less middle when I chug, more during the leads, and the middle when I play my leads has that crystal clear glassy tone I love.
Nicole Smrekar Sounds great thanks. I'm almost tempted to go full black winter but I hear such great things about peg/nazgul.
Absolutely awesome signature sound, Keith. And awesome tune, as always!
Keith if you see this it's 2020. It is about time you and Gord release a new album for Demisery I've been waiting since forever you guys are the reason I picked up a 7string guitar :D
I really like the low end of the BW but the Nazgul has that great definition
"Will it blend?"
That is the question.
I am stoked for both the Black Winter pickup going global, and for new Demisery because this shit is sick!
1:08 goddamn that chugga chugga
Der Song klingt wirklich super und haut rein! Beide Tonabnehmer klingen sehr gut. Hier gefiel mir der Nazgul einen kleinen Ticken besser als der Black Winter, es kommt aber auf die Soundeinstellung und den Verstärker an, beide Pickups sind hochwertig
fuck that nazghul pickup sounds amazing
thank you for that i almost bought one even tho im not really high gain player but i love hardcore tones .
It is a 7string , so it is in E standart , just with a lower A underneath that ;)
Demisery is easily your best work Keith. Cant wait for the new album. :D
Love the blackwinter bridge pick up!
I purchased the LTD Black metal M which comes with the black winter. I had a guitar shop add a neck pickup slot on the the guitar. I moved the black winter to the neck and put the Nazgul in the bridge.
Awesome playing dude. Just started watching your videos today and they are badass.
Nah , with a lot of Patience ( Sorry if i wrote it wrong , I'm german ) you can get it for a way lower price , 'cause the Black Winters will be available worldwide pretty soon , Keith said that in the Last Video for Chappers ML7-Project ;)
Brutal riffs as always! Man those pick up sound really good together!
Im so fucking excited for a new Demisery album
The Black Winter pickups sound killer!
also those last few riffs are so Nevermore....
You, Kind Sir, are getting more amazing with every year :D
I love your music and I love jamup pro. You are innovating sir
Beast
cheah...
Black Winter all the way.
I like the Nazgul better. I will definately buy one as soon as they're for sale.
those pickups blend really well!
Those sound bad ass together. Awesome demo!
I've searched a bit and I don't think you've ever done a bass tone video, Keith.
Nice sounds. I have an old ESP custom (maple fretboard), it's a very bright guitar I hope the black winter help to balance the sound. With the EMG sounds a lot heavier than my Ibanez with EMGs, I just ordered the B Winter bridge, I can't wait to hear it.
Aw man, I didn't watch it in HD. I guess I gotta watch it again!
Epic as always, Keith. I know you weren't using it, but I really want to try the active pegasus, but alas, no monies. I love your playing and I am beyond excited for you to be working the great Jeff Loomis. \m/ \m/
UH cant wait until the Video is up !
Demisery , it's not released yet . Check out the first Record Hive of Mutation !
Blends just fine.
That´s why I gonna import the black winter for my ESP
and buy an Ibanez IC 507 with the Nazgul!
you should release a special edition of these, something special looking. because odd looking p.u's are always nice :)
I'm building my first guitar soon. It's between the Nazgul and the Lace Deathbar.
I love mayonnaise guitars
is this from a song or just for the demo? cuz i'm listening to it since 2013 :D and i really love these riffs
Keith, Question for you, do you still use the Nazgul? I'm playing through a 5150. I switched out the Nazgul for the Pegasus. Now I find the Pegasus, pretty awesome, warmer. But the output is lower, doesn't have that awesome sustain of the Nazgul.. How did you calm the highs of the Nazgul? Just through your amp settings? I find myself missing the Nazgul now and may put it back in. I play with a Guild Bluesbird. I guess closest type of music I'd say I play is in the realm of Omnium Gatherum and Evergrey. The Pegasus just doesn't have that punch the Nazgul had...and the Nazgul doesn't have the tiny bit calmer on the treble side. Undecided and frustrated. LOL. BTW your playing is always top notch - freaking ace.
For the tones I like, I stick to the Nazgul 90% of the time and just experiment with other pickups for fun on occasion.
Talk Sick I've actually got a great tone now. Took some experimenting, patience. I absolutely love these pickups and will never buy a different set. Well...who knows ...maybe . But for now I want to put these in all of my guitars. I've got them in my main one, a Guild Bluesbird. The tone is absolutely killer. Running through an EVH III. I've also been experimenting with the Kemper as of late. While I prefer the tube amp in the flesh. The Kemper is perfect for those late night recordings when family is sleeping. Very happy with the Sentient/Nazgul combo. They rip the heavens apart.
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe you are just a heavy hard player, do you play with heavy gauges? or Really light?
Yeah I dunno. Maybe just your style of hitting. You know I went from Seymour Nazgul to Pegasus then back to Nazgul then went to Lundgrens M6's. While the Lundgrens do sound good...they just sound way toooo tinny to me. I actually hated them. They are clear, I'll give them that. Anyhow, I went back to the Nazguls. LOL. Full circle.
this is brutally awesome! but when are you gonna do some more of those atmospheric solos you do Keith?
the NAZGUL has a full metal sound with depth and clarity and a decent gain
the BLACK WINTER has a high gain brighter sound to it.. i like both but NAZGUL!!!
its not mentioned but
PASSIVE BLACKOUTS(w/BMP) has the same give as the NAZGUL but def made for shredders
seymour duncan has alot to offer
One thing I do not understand... these hats. Why do you need these hats in the livingroom? Otherwise, all my respect is yours, all your stuffs are great!
Fucking love the guitar tone
if you go to SDs site, they have a custom shop page where you can order them, in 7 or 8
Personally I prefer the nazgul!! Sounds insane
great comparison. killer song too.
I didnt want it to end :( stop ending your videos.
Guitars, coffee & Keith.
Dude, you convinced me on the Nazgul!!! Got it on the way for my 8-string...
I just put a Nazgul/sentient set in my Schecter C-7... it screams now
I think I am gonna swap the nazgul 7 I have with black winter 7. although the nazgul sounds very clear on these open strings chugs, it still very dry and I am struggling to get a good palm muted tone, unlike the blackouts I have with my old guitar.
maxed out my volume. worth it.
you two are flat out fucking amazing! good shit!
You sold me on black winters for my sister for christmas.
such a great combo. love the tone as well. I would love to know what interface you're using?
Nazgul Adds Crunchy(ness) to the music while black winter adds more treble or bass which would absolutely blend but it would be better if it was Nazgul with Blackout!! just sayin
my wishlist: mayones regius 7 pro, BK Aftermaths, ps vita, Bugera 6262
black winter!!!
record the album with jamup pro man! amazing amazing
awesome song!
My Wishlist: Ibanez RG7621, SD Black Winter, Ipad mini, JamUp Pro.
Black Winter by far! A lot grittier and louder, the Nazgul is too deathcore for me. That pickup in this mix sounds exactly like Suicide Silence and the Black Winter just screams thrash and death metal to me.
Slayerfan457 you've got to remember though through a digital preamp, anything can sound like anything
OGbrundle Not true. Though it is true that different amp sims make the difference a bit smudged.
Wauw,, maximum volume!!! that sound is realy euh,,,damn very nice!!!
Well we can only hope that there will be more made for the rest of us mere mortals to purchase.
Currently only two sets are excisting . One here in the Video and i think the other Set is at the Seymour Duncan Headquarters . Keith has the fortune of working for Seymour Duncan , that's a bit Unfair for us all XD
Great video, but I want to see the VIK!!!! Quit holding out on me KEITH!!!!
...that was freaking awesome.
as always, sick riff!!! \m/
When I get my Schecter Hellraiser C-7 FR S, I'm been debating whether to put a Nazgul or a Black Winter in the bridge to go with the sustainiac in the neck... This video just makes me more stuck between the two... DX
Jordan Dubey The Nazgul is super heavy and really high output, but even on low gain settings it has a constant buzz like a chainsaw on standby. If you're constantly shredding and tearing up your guitar and playing songs like this demo, Nazgul for sure. If you ever want to clean up a bit (especially since you won't have a real neck pickup), I would take the Black Winter. It's much more balanced.
Aric Fowler ......... the Black Winter is a higher output pickup than the Nazgul....
It is, but the Nazgul has a higher DC resistance and it isn't as balanced. It's like if you compared a Screamin' Demon to a JB. the JB is going to have more depth and sound a little more balanced, while the Demon has little output but so much sharpness to it that it will cut through the JB. Output isn't really as much of a concern as the tone is. The Nazgul and Black Winter are really close in output (they're both high, with the Black Winter slightly ahead), that really what you should be concerned about is the tone more than the output.
Aric Fowler Hmm, no, the Black Winter still has a higher DC resistance than the Nazgul. That's why I said the Black Winter is a higher output pickup. To make things equal, take a look at the 6 string versions, straight from Seymour Duncan's website: Black Winter - 16.6k, Nazgul - 13.6k. DC resistance is basically the same thing as output, a measure of how loud the pickup is, yet according to you, the Black Winter has a higher output, but the Nazgul has a higher DC resistance, which you were objectively wrong about. You don't know what you're talking about. And I don't really know what to say about the other stuff, because you call both the Black Winter and JB balanced, and sure the Black Winter is EQ'd to be flat, but the JB damn sure isn't. You're just talking out of your ass.
They are called Fret Wraps
Dude ask Corpsegrinder to lay vocals on this masterpiece! And I have that shirt!
Dark and badass.I like it.
please for the love of god can anyone tell me which is better overall, Nazgul, or Black Winters, I just can't decide, I would appreciate if someone could tell me something to help me make up my mind....... But also I heard of a new pickup coming out called the Brimstone on Schecter's Facebook page, shall I wait for that one????? Many Thanks
Pickups are just like women. You just have to find the ones that are right for you, yourself.. Only you can decide which you think is better. If that makes sense.
The Gatekeeper call Seymour Duncan customer service or someone else who knows a lot about these pickups, tell them the guitar your using, type of music and tuning and they usually have pretty good advice but honesty both pickups are good really depends on the sound you want and your playing style
awsome kickass riffs again :D!!
Wow, New Demisery ,Black Winter PU has a more natural sound but sound great mixed,. Next how about Super Distortion ? (¦ {]
I need help using this amazing app to get sounds like this with my recordings. PLEASE HELP.
Gloria para mis oidos
So everything you demo is fucking awesome for rhythm. What about leads? or patterns with high and low notes combined?
Can you do a track with SD hot p-rails? I'd love to hear a well produced real metal track with them.
That was so Merrow
Hey Keith Merrow can you share this preset to Bias FX?
This sound is amazing
Fret wraps. Google 'Gruv Gear' to order them.
Keith, what would be your choice between Nazgul, Black Winter and Sentient and why?
Only available through Seymour Duncan's Custom Shop. :/
