Darkthrone - Quintessence (Acoustic Cover by Leiv Reed)

[@Deshift00]

Wow, this version of the song is a completely different emotional take on the original song. So awesome and very mournful. Love all your covers man. Stay trve.

[@LeivReed]

Thanks so much. I actually have spent a lot of time to make it so that you can play them on “top” of each other. They are in the same key, and I follow the tempo of the original all the way through.

@@LeivReed I know it may be a random comment, but after watching your video on how to play heron blue by sun kil moon I was wondering you could clarify the finger-style for the right hand, as in which strings are being played and in what order. If you could help, I’d appreciate it!

[@LeivReed]

@@secretlemons8281 sorry, I always regret it when I make videoes where I talk or explain stuff. But if you look up Travis picking that’s the most important thing. Alternating thumb. If you learn that and to a level where your thumb “lives a life of its own” then you can start experimenting with your fingers too, to make melodies

[@jcup77]

Yes! My favorite darkthrone song! Awesome!

[@spritefroggy]

9 months or so ago, I was going through a lot. I left a comment on your Transilvanian Hunger video letting you know how much I liked the cover and how it was getting me through the hard time. Well, I'm doing okay now, but this is also an incredibly beautiful rendition of Quintessence. I'll turn to it when things are dim again.

Lyrics: Eight miles deep the well forgotten by mortals Oh, I drank it empty in one single sip Eight miles wide the valley behyond all hope Oh, I filled the whole with one single fist Five million Christians on a ride towards us Oh, I slaughtered the bunch with one single hit (With my spear) Five million woman so alone in the night Oh, I had them all satisfied profusely (Every night by myself) Ten thousand trolls hard as rock cold as ice Oh, they ran when I rose to face them Ten hungry waves they swallowed my ship Oh, I steadily walked home (And I only got wet on my feet) No single book were behelden by me Oh, no question I cannot do answer Only one single lamp do show me this way And that is the eye of Satan

[@LeivReed]

Thanks. Does anyone know if these lyrics are derived from another source? And I’m puzzled by the numbers. Is it a code?

[@memevarg2530]

As a fan of almost all black metal, this sounds very nice. It reminds me of the tv show Dark.

[@RainbowUndead595]

I love your work Leiv! I really admire what you do! Please, if you can, cover the song Valen, by Burzum. It is one of my favorite songs.

[@LeivReed]

Great suggestion!

[@scottlondon8382]

You kinda look Manu Bennet,great cover by the way

[@KUPHSER]

Epic channel for a number of reasons. Black metal is one of my favourite musical genres and acoustic covers are a real treat. glemselens elv is one of my favourites, your version is perfect. I also noticed that you cover sun kil moon, they are another one of my favourites, so many good songs. and then there’s your cover of fade to black, incredible. An instant subscription from me. Did you hear Taake’ new album, Avvik? they’ve done an acoustic cover of their own song, Nattestid Ser Porten Vid 1. You should check it out if you haven’t already. You should cover these songs, I think you would do a brilliant job. They all have the certain melodies that would be great as acoustic. Taake - hordalands doedskvad part 1 Insane vesper - thousand plagues Dark Funeral - stigmata

[@LeivReed]

Love Taake. Gjermund is an amazing string player. Really pulls it off with style, and shows just how great a song writer Hoest is. And thank you for kind words, and the suggestions.

[@KUPHSER]

@@LeivReed for sure Hoest is a musical genius. No worries, you’ve done some outstanding work for sure, keep it up!

[@KUPHSER]

@@LeivReed hi mate im back again listening to your songs and wondered do you like alice in chains? you should cover some of their songs. few of my favourites - rooster, down in a hole, frogs, nutshell, brother

[@LeivReed]

Interesting suggestion. Thank you! I will look into it.

[@KUPHSER]

@@LeivReed all of your renditions are outstanding, and also your original music. Really love the style, right down my alley. has a bit of an admiral fell promises feel , I still listen to that album often

[@user-yi5ip9eg9z]

👀

[@LeivReed]

Yes. It is cringeorama

[@user-yi5ip9eg9z]

@@LeivReed nah it actually sounds pretty good. Has its own special atmosphere ❄️ when I first heard it which was 30 mins ago I thought it would fit for a movie soundtrack (credits after an unhappy ending perhaps? ) When a main hero has descended into madness or everyone died and it is just this song playing over the empty wastelands , something like that in my mind

[@NendingAbay]

Tvning?

[@katilpatates290]

Hallo stranger

[@KUPHSER]

where did your nargaroth cover go?

[@LeivReed]

Hi. The last part of it was really out of tune so I am almost done re recording most of the guitars. I made the first version public again now, but I hope to upload a more finished version before the end of this week

[@LeivReed]
