Bell Witch Plays Doomed & Stoned Fest

[@FaustLord]

The simple fact that someone can create this kind of beautiful music with just two instruments is almost breathtaking

[@jacobpennington7095]

You should see his pedal board

[@kickmyself1973]

well it can't be that hard ... i can whiste and clap. That would be more melodic

[@horse_dog]

I never knew it was two guys, or that there was no guitarist either. They have a HUGE sound

[@OathOfDruid]

I have some experience with this: I used to play a seven string and had two pedals on my pedalboard with a stereooutput (a digitech delay pedal and a looper). I used 2 guitar amp half stacks and a bass amp, and played my looper on 2 of two of those (usually one half stack and the bassamp). Massive sound! People would ask if we were a full band, haha!

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

@@OathOfDruid no looper here though. I did see them in Oakland years ago and asked how he got such a big sound and he did confirm a signal splitter to two amps and two effects chains

[@OathOfDruid]

@@s3nsec0rruptr80 Splitters are great, but since I was a poor student (who happened to own a Looper) I just used the looper, as it had dual outputs. Cheers!

[@verlassen_1999]

Mesmerizing, melancholic and beautiful at the same time.

These guys need to play weddings,...I'd hire 'em.

[@joeyuzwa891]

Nah, they need to play funerals.

Watching him keep count with his hand inbetween notes is awesome.

[@itcomesinwaves7711]

I stood literally right next to the camera man for this whole set! Awesome band, awesome performance, and AWESOME FUCKING FEST!

Lucky

[@BloodHungerPain]

There´s nothing better than a night with a glass of wine and some Funeral Doom. Thanks for the upload man :)

[@corybray7763]

He has to be the only bass player you can trust with more than 4 strings.

[@d_walsh]

Lol. Thats funny. And kinda true. :)

[@joeyuzwa891]

His right hand technique is so cool.

[@LawyerGamerLounge]

Now that is how you play bass like a boss!

[@anthropologyuj1530]

This is incredible beyond believe, this sound ghoulish to the core...

[@rlh1984]

I don’t know about anyone else, but my sense of rhythm falls off way before 12 BPM, or whatever it is they’re playing. And they’re dead on with each other. Crazy.

[@paulwangler]

Saw them live this year. Totally blew me away. Amazing art

[@mikeyj1848]

They were amazing in concert. Saw them with Sleep and was blown away!

[@bowelrupture]

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Great gig! Being a dj on Metal Messiah Radio i play in June and december very long tracks in on special event. Bell Witch will be in my list coming december.

[@jeroenverbeeck7925]

People should kill the lights and just lay the fuck down on the ground on Bell Witch shows. That would be epic.

[@highseervehk]

Eensch

[@MusicaAutopoietica]

Bell Witch Sound Bath!!!

[@TheThingattheEndoftheBook]

First live video I've watched of them, great to see they're just as amazing live.

[@themzbonez14]

We need a rig rundown video with these guys

[@jennad6548]

True talent. Wish I could have been there!

[@ellex0110]

This is majestic... beautiful, stunning, crushing!!! Great great great.......

[@franktalarico689]

Damn I wanna play 6 string bass like that

[@usefulidiot227]

Looks like the dude lost the beater to his bass drum and holds up the kick pedal @50:57. Ha, imagine getting all the way into the set and that happens. Has to suck, but at least he was almost done.

[@vanrfrapas]

when I find myself sad and want to let out my emotions i just come back to this , specifically this solo part at 47:40

[@davutaksoy8789]

same with Mirror Reaper's solo

[@ravenousbean7048]

Funeral Doom at its finest!

[@emilphoryew9436]

Saw these guys play in Athens, Greece a few weeks ago. Memorable show. Wondering if anyone made a video of the performance I could watch?

[@noogie1]

If you're ever at a Bell Witch show, please be quiet, I don't care what you have to say, the band is better than you.

[@nine-toedsloth7168]

God yes, saw them perform Mirror Reaper in London 2 years back and during the quieter sections, these assholes at the bar just kept yelling. Jaw-dropping show, but the people who thought their voices better than the music deserve to be flayed.

[@Defleshuary]

Or any show really. Go stand elsewhere if it's not your thing because it likely is to A LOT people around you.

[@doom3380]

NPCs I swear

[@paveldybowicz6089]

I usually stand right in front of the bass player's wall of sound, so I don't hear a thing from the back lines, but I get that. Just mega shut up when the band is playing.

[@Max_Pez]

Does anyone know what tuning he plays in by chance?

[@lexi.cmk.turner]

[@brandonlovelady8659]

[@isaak8145]

beautiful riffage, man just needs a noise gate

[@ashkaplan7548]

noise gates aren't very doom lol

[@postremusmammuthus3735]

It electric hum - something's not grounded properly. Noise gate wouldn't help. You can hear how the hum disappears when he strums a string, but then hum overpowers his sustain. If he would to put gate, it would cut off his notes

[@DaisyHead666]

@@postremusmammuthus3735 same thing happens with my guitar, The previous owner didnt wire somethin up correctly. So when my volume knob is at anything but 0 it hums like crazy.

[@liammews2375]

What song were they playing?

[@ThineDarkSoldier]

It's the entirety of Mirror Reaper.

[@usefulidiot227]

Not Mirror Reaper in its entirety. Starts with roughly 18 minutes worth of Mirror Reaper from a section just shy of 18 minutes into the 83 minute long song, @18:20 - Judgement, In Fire: I - Garden (Of Blooming Ash) from Four Phantoms. @30:09 - Suffocation, A Burial: I - Awoken (Breathing Teeth) from Four Phantoms. That's a 22ish minute long song so that takes up the rest of the video.

[@nullfather7872]

Unfamiliar mic setup? The drummer hits the mic at 12:10.

[@bjesse1035]

null father when I saw them, the drummer was on the other side of the stage. Possible different set up just for this gig?

[@COWWDOGG]

4 year late reply lol but usually he's on the other side of the stage

[@birdonfire415]

What tuning does he use?

[@LoFi_Goth]

ACGCFA#

[@birdonfire415]

What effects ?

[@gimp9938]

Sounds like a large amount of reverb with some slight delay in the first part then just some distortion in later parts.

[@vanhohenheim1873]

BioniPastas i also think he uses a slight bit of flanger or phaser.

[@gimp9938]

Yeah I hear that too actually, thanks!

[@noneyerbidness]
