Beautiful playing Simon. As soon as the Bathory intro started I knew it was going to be good! The Dissection riff was great too.

[@charlielamb5796]

Nice! Love the Bathory intro

[@coldparsa]

I really love black metal , i can listen to it all day everyday, its my favorite, the poems and lyrics of it are the best , all those bands you played are legends in the history of black metal , and They will never be forgotten and will last forever 🔥🔥❤️‍🔥 Also huge thanks to you man simon smith , you are an artist ❤️

[@sailorpsycho]

My sugestions for the second video are: Summoning's Through the Forests of Dol Guldur acoustic middle part, Moonspell's Interludium Incantatum and Immortal's At the Heart of Winter's song intro (not really acoustic, but I think it will sound awesome in an acoustic guitar)

Thy Light - Wanderer of Solitude (Actually playing with clean electric guitar but I think It's might be good with acoustic guitar) Lord Belial - Forlorn in Silence (With classic guitar) Thurisaz - Inner Voices

[@G3E007]

oh please make covers from the acoustic sections of kveldssanger from ulver. this album is not only a master piece of acuostic BM, its roots go deep into our pagan heritage and is an example of a very ancient type of music.

[@_Stroda]

It's a good album and it's definitely influenced a lot of black metal musicians but.... It's not black metal at all (and calling it 'black metal' makes no more sense than calling Perdition City black metal). And that aside, its roots really aren't as 'ancient' or 'pagan' as you claim. It clearly draws heavily on 'neo-folk' which, despite the pretentions of many musicians, really isn't some pure, pagan thing. Like it or not, church music has played a massive role over the centuries in shaping music more generally in western countries. That's an inescapable fact. The vocals on an album like Kveldssanger may make the average listener think all things 'pagan' but that's really mostly down to what you could broadly describe as 'marketing' and general ignorance. True folk melodies have been passed down, some probably with minimal corruption, for hundreds of years but they're generally jolly as fuck. The darker and more melancholic sound you get on albums like Kveldssanger pretty much kicks off in the 80s, and drew extensively on 'folk' and 'prog' music from the late 50s-70s and combined it with other, 'darker' influences (e.g. industrial, punk, etc.) It's funny that some of the really cheesy 'folk metal' groups (the Korpiklaani sorts) probably incorporate more genuine 'folk' into their music than a lot of what black metal/neo-folk fans - who tend to dislike that happy noise - like to think of as 'authentic', 'heritage' music.

[@G3E007]

@@_Stroda i know is not black metal but i dont know how to label it. but is as i said, traditional european music. in the black metal scene

[@_Stroda]

@@G3E007 Some people would argue otherwise (really just semantics) but it's neo-folk. Which is a well established genre which got going in the 80s and is strongly linked with industrial (particularly 'martial industrial)/experimental/ambient, punk and earlier 'folk' (so, in many cases not 'true folk', but 'folk prog' like Comus, psychedelic/freak folk bands, and the likes of Bert Jansch, Leonard Cohen, whatever). You can probably tie a lot of neo-folk loosely to 'traditional european music' but that's really not what it is. As I mentioned above, the majority of the genuine traditional European (at least focusing on Western Europe) folk music we have is irritating, jolly stuff (even where it's in minor keys). Neo-folk is also often described as 'apocalyptic folk' and 'dark folk'. It's not great surprise that it got mixed up and in with black metal but it is categorically not 'traditional European music'.

[@edibaramashvili7866]

@@edibaramashvili7866 for me too, man... also, I remembered Brutality's Sympathy which has besides a lot of keyboards and some acoustic parts. another haunting one.

@@warphalak I was expecting also Satryricon's Walk to the Path of Sorrow acoustic part

[@warphalak]

@@edibaramashvili7866 Had to look for it because I wasn't remembering it. That's a pretty interesting one with a... shifting... time signature. I love it when bands do that.
