I always think of black metal as a genre with great melodies which get "dirty" with an enormous distortion, a bass that follows the guitars and makes its tone deeper, and fast loud drums. A mix of pure beauty and pure chaos, such a particular genre...

[@KingOfTheUnderdogs]

These are actually very beautiful melodies but other people hear black metal as "rubbish" or "noise". I'm so sad that others can not hear what I hear in these. Thanks, great video!

[@crowmigration8245]

I relate to that. I will show them this video next time

[@stevenewsom3269]

Right. Black metal can be bleak and dark, but also astoundingly beautiful.

[@assasinpatates8066]

i don't like the drum beat in most of black metal songs i like black metal songs like Ulver - Capitel I or Burzum - Dunkelheit in these songs they don't play that drum beat but in Ulver - Capitel II after flute part they use the drum beat i am talking about.

[@KingOfTheUnderdogs]

@DanielBx I think point of Black Metal is to create an atmosphere.

[@KingOfTheUnderdogs]

@@assasinpatates8066 Most of the times, I like drums a lot in Black Metal. I don't like Dunkelheit for example, it has a beautiful riff also but it feels like they tried to suffocate the rithym with noise. Good amount of distortion serves well but if it's too much, it doesn't sound good.

[@Nastrun]

Damn, so sad melodies...

[@TheShivus]

Wow! This is really impressive! 5:55 Black Hot Chilli Peppers!

[@ElRiki77]

Really glad you included “Hans Siste Vinter”. Probably one of my favourite Darkthrone songs.

[@666aidangf]

More black metal bands should consider doing striped back versions of their albums if they can sound this good.

Acoustic guitar in black metal sounds so good. Wish more groups did it. The ones that immediately come to mind are Dornenreich and Vanhelga.

[@endrehellandgujord6776]

[@benejack666]

Supposedly, that's how Darkthrone writes all their songs first, before goignto electric. Fenriz is often quoted as saying "If it soudns good on acoustic, then it'll sound great on electric.' or "If it sounds great on acoustic, then it's good enough for Darkthrone."

[@krumbers]

dude i fucking love vanhelga. such a refreshing take on black metal

[@ozzylepunknown551]

I love songs with out of tune acoustic guitars that sound like they just survived a explosion and 100 years of nuclear fall out

burzum is pretty much folk music with distortion. and ensigns of victory sounds like a blackened emo song. still great.

Haha you got me there! Paused the video, googled for Kyteler - Do Not Pray, listened to the song, came back and finally realized it is your band. Really nice video! I'm not too much into that kind of black metal anymore as I tend to need a decent production nowadays to really enjoy it, but presented like this it's beautiful. And I think I will revisit Winterfylleth in the next days.

Pretty much how it sounded to me in my teens when I started a solo BM project and had only an electric guitar but no amp. just much quieter. The upside was that I could hear the melodies and harmonics better rather than drowning it all in distortion (again, in your teens when you're playing metal you crank up the distortion pedals to 11).
