I guess that's not quite how I hear mine, but the amp is playing a big part in that at a guess. They sound like they handle the style well though.

Pickups made for tone usually sound better to me than ones made for output.
It sure helps to have it going into a Mike Fortin modded Kerry King Marshall too!

Re: Whole Lotta Humbucker doing metal
I was JUST gonna ask if anyone saw this. I saw it last night.
I have to figure out what to put these in, but I definitely want a set.
Over in the Bill Steer thread, we did some research and it is about 98% confirmed that he uses T-tops or (for the sake of conversation) a lower output pickup.

Re: Whole Lotta Humbucker doing metal
I really like the Sh-18 (WLH) pickups. Through that Fortin modded amp they are have much clarity, and bone crushing tone. I have to use a boost for the leads, but the tone is killer. Also my favorite neck pickup to date, and was using the Alnico II Pro for my neck pickups. I've use the WLH pickups, and the Black Winter mostly now. They sound awesome. But there is something I really dig about the Sh-18. Below is photos from the guitar in the video above.
Cheers,

The Whole Lotta Humbuckers are Killer. One of my favorite sets to at this time. They absolutely kill with a high gain amp, and I'm using the hell out of them. Going to use these pickups during the next recording session. I'm definitely switching most of the neck pickups out of my other guitars for WLH neck pickup as well. I think I finally found my favorite neck pickup. They are perfect, and pack that gritty goodness I've been looking for in a neck pickup.

Just to play devils advocate, I'm going to suggest a Custom there.

Re: Whole Lotta Humbucker doing metal
It should be no surprise that the WLH can do metal. It's a better pickup than many other low output pickups that can also do metal...like stock Gibson pickups and the 59B.
My favorite neck pickups aren't even traditional humuckers, but others like Filtertrons, Mini Humbuckers, P-90's, etc. And I love the PGn and Seth N.
I want fatness with supreme clarity and balance.
For bridges, it's all over the map. I pretty much like everything between the WLH bridge, Seth Lover, C/59 Hybrid, Brobucker, and unoriented roughcast magnet Custom 5. Those are all of my favorite SD bridge humbuckers.
Metal isn't my primary style of music, but good pickups are good pickups, plugged into the appropriate amp.

Re: Whole Lotta Humbucker doing metal
The WLH bridge pulls off metal riffage effortlessly through the right amp, or setup. I've been using the set that is featured in the video above at rehearsals, and it has no problem keeping up with the other guitarist who is using a Jackson rr24 with a AHB-3 and a Mesa Tri Rect. Helps that I'm using a high gain head, but I could pull it off with a 2203, or 6505 with a boost.
