Not bad at all

I have to say I never tried strings that would be that much different in comparison to other brands.

These feel like they have their own distortion. Their sound is definitely for metal and it's also rich and warm. Sadly I give a star less because they did rust pretty fast and when you want to palm mute it sounds weird.

I'd use them for recordings if I'd have to play a heavy metal song, for example but only for that reason.

The bonus is that you get a signature pick so that's pretty cool!
