The death-metal riff chisler details his current No. 1 guitar that could become his signature Ibanez hammer.
Being in a band can be a mercurial experience. Internal combustion and outside factors can make any promising group crash and burn before reaching cruising altitude. Plus, it’s never been easier to replace bothersome bandmates with plugins and software. So in 2015, Wes Hauch paused all his various death-metal day jobs (formerly with the Faceless, Thy Art Is Murder, Glass Casket, and Black Crown Initiate) and started Alluvial as a brain break and artistic challenge to scratch itches previously unreachable.
“I started to think about putting a band together that was everything that I missed about what wasn’t going on in heavy music,” Hauch told PG in 2021.
He teamed up with fellow shredder Keith Merrow and the duo put their darkest emotions into the instrumental project. They built everything from the ground up and The Deep Longing for Annihilation was self-released in 2017. It (beautifully) bludgeoned the ears of Animals as Leaders’ Javier Reyes, who wanted to take out Alluvial on tour. And now Hauch needed a band… his band.
While writing his next batch of material that would ultimately evolve into 2021’s Sarcoma (released on Nuclear Blast), Hauch recruited singer Kevin Muller (Suffocation and The Merciless Concept) and drummer Matt Guglielmo to fill everything out. The results are like someone dropped a Shelby GT500 inside an excavator primed to pummel granite. Death metal might be its blanket, but there’s more lurking under the covers. The second album has moments of blitzkrieg (“Sarcoma”), allusions to Greg Ginn playing in an extreme metal band (“The Putrid Sunrise”), and even hallucinatory respites (“40 Stories”).
“I’m always trying to find something that’s a different sort of rhythmic motif for metal, just to see if it's going to work, and if it's going to make people feel it, or if it’s going to make me feel it,” stated Hauch.
Now Alluvial is a full four horsemen with bassist Tim Walker and drummer Zach Dean, who both have been playing live with Hauch and Muller and contributed to their forthcoming EP Death Is But A Door.
“I wanted to have a band where we can write meaningful yet action-packed songs. Something that is terrifying but breaks your heart at the same time. I think we’ll always chase that, but we want to find new ways to be heavy” Hauch reflected.
Alluvial seems to be avoiding any turbulence during their ascent with just one thing in mind: gatherings through gain.
“I want to go play with everyone … all the people that enjoy the message that’s usually coupled with that distorted guitar,” said Hauch. “And for anyone who’s checking this out, I want to say thank you, because it’s hard to get anyone to participate in your art these days. The fact that people are, I’m very grateful.”
Ahead of Alluvial’s opening slot supporting Intervals and Tesseract at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, founding guitarist (and lead headbanger) Wes Hauch and bassist Tim Walker welcomed PG’s Chris Kies onstage to explore their tools of destruction. Hauch highlighted his main 7-string Ibanez shred sticks-including his signature set of Seymour Duncan Jupiter Rails humbuckers-and detailed the great lengths he went to capture his favorite Boogie and Friedman sounds in his Kemper for the band’s “get-the-fuck-out-of-the-way rig.” Then Walker quickly spotlighted his Ibanez blackout 5-string bass-and the mods he’s made-plus explained the motive behind matching a rackmount Helix with a fridge-sized Ampeg 6x10.

I hope he gets a signature. Dude is super underrated and is one of the best metal guitarists on the planet right now
I'd buy one in a heartbeat, and I'm not into signature guitars, but that is one sexy axe.
They goddamn better. They dropped the ball not releasing a Vogg Destroyer so this will at least somewhat make up for it.
Hell yes.
i really don`t know what is Ibanez waiting for...
I heard Ibanez wanted to but had to discontinue the destroyer due to "play authentic " lawsuits. The Mike D'Antonio destroyer bass was also discontinued as a result
@@absatz5 The current Destroyer shape is far enough away to dodge any Gibson suits. The Jackson X-Stroyer Vogg's playing now and the Schecter E-type are both closer to the Gibson shape than the Destroyer is
"stabability" is my new favorite word of the day
Wes, i'm still saving up and holding out for the chance Ibby actually releases one of these models as your sig. C,mon Ibanez!
YES!!!! IBANEZ MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!! The fixed bridge version please!!!! Id buy 2
Saw Alluvial last night and he played this and the version with the Trem and it was SO sick
I’ll buy one the second they are released.
his other iceman with floyd rose is my favorite, so sick
if wes doesnt get a sig no one deserves one, he s literally playing sth the market craves and his skills are unmatched
Just in time as i was looking for a 7 string guitar. The only 7 string Iceman available is in a dull black finish.
Yup, and that one is quite neck heavy, so not something you’d keep coming back to 🤷🏻♂️
If it is a 7 string with 24 frets then I am in!
We didn't even get the new IC420 in the US. I'd be happy with either a 25.5" 6 string Iceman or 26.5" 7 string. It makes no sense that they keep being stingy with the Iceman and Destroyer releases in the US. They've done 25.5" 6 string Icemans in the past but they never stick around. The current 25.5" 7 string is boring.
His guitars are my dream. La custom shop 27” iceman!?!? I need it so bad my next guitar is gonna be the xl7 so I can make one
So glad he explained the bridge...its exactly why i clicked on this video.
Who else thinks there will be a wes hauch sig?
Regulation height is where it's at lol
Hell yeah
Day one purchase.
The upside down Rickenbacker 480XC/Ibanez FRM300 body shape. Play On.
That guitar shape will always remind me of Paul Stanley from KISS lol... believe he played/plays those.
That's what I was thinking it is a great design
Well shit, do you know something that we don't, Premier Guitar?
Wish Ibanez would make more of these....it SHOULD be their flagship shape, like the Les Paul is to Gibson, or the Strat is to Fender. But no, Ibanez has to focus on their strat copy shapes/ BOOOORING.
ibanez, come on now, give us the damn guitar.
I'm a fan of the Ice Man shape but not of the music of other Ice Man players. I like the guitar & the sound though.
I know Wes loves the iceman but a signature xiphos would be a dream
Excuse me? The correct answer whenever anyone brings up the subject of an Iceman is Tom G. Warrior.
Definitely a cool guitar, but I'm not so sure about “The Coolest Shape Gibson Never Thought Of.” I always thought the Iceman shape could have been inspired by the Explorer.
The ice man is too metal for Paul Stanley
I dont know why its easier to find a damn 7 string Iceman that just a 6 string its ridiculous
