Dissection - Where Dead Angels Lie (piano cover by stillborn with sheet music)

[@lNTOTHEGRAVE]

20 year long dissection fan, started listening to them in 2001 when I was 15, i am 35 now and sitting here drinking my coffee at a restaurant in tears, literally tears because this is just so fucking beautiful and was at the same time playing the song in my head as you played it along. Jon was the Mozart of metal!

[@samm1533]

Indeed indeed indeed brother 🔥

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

I know you and i am you. Jon is there he gave us this, and left. Forever be his name

[@33381-u]

Respect you from Russia

[@creepin_deth]

As I wrote earlier here on KZbin, Dissection is the perfect combination of black and classical music. Not playing emphatically classical moves and licks with distortion, as they do in symphonic metal, but rather the thoughtful introduction of classical elements, while preserving the structure and idea of black metal. The ideal melodic black or, in principle, melodic metal.

[@eliasdeleone7059]

Dude, it's incredible! I've been weeping to some of these and know exactly what you're feeling. I'm 35 now and 2004 for me. It encapsulates an era for me thats incredibly nostalgic. This stuff used to be hard to find back then too. Wild times!

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

I love how she got the part at 4:55 right, most people that cover this song seem to overhear the subtle difference in the harmony in this one last iteration. Bonus point for replicating the double voicing on the lead. You lady, got good ears

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Ha! I was waiting for that EXACT part - she nailed it!

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

@@hugolafhugolafit makes ALL the difference, it’s like a false sigh of relief before the darkness takes over again

[@nespith]

Black Metal sounds so good on piano and acoustic guitar. I wish there was a subgenre using those together.

[@Oatmeal_Mann]

Get started mate! I'd love to hear it.

[@EkaitzIturbeltz]

It's called dark folk ;) !

[@silenceiswhereweare7268]

Agalloch is a good way of listening to it.

[@Mp57navy]

Oh, Enslaved did it, on older tracks, like Norvegr. Therion, Epica does it on most records. The latter 2 are not Black metal, but still good metal subgenres.

[@Todes.218]

This is why black metal is the best sound

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

Translating this to piano only really shows the classical influences of Black Metal. Beautifully done.

[@d_rivadeneyra]

Just because something can be played on piano doesn't mean it is classically influenced. I see about zero classical elements in it.

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

@d_rivadeneyra That's an interesting observation. Care to share your reasoning behind this?

[@d_rivadeneyra]

@@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629 For sure. Every music genre has their own defining characteristics, their own language. In classical music, the main two defining features are form and counterpoint. From counterpoint comes all the tradition in classical harmony. This song does not use any sort of classical form. A good example of classical form used in modern rock could be "Playing God" by Polyphia, utilizing a binary form. Harmonically is also not inspired by classical music, this song uses a lot of parallel fifths (which are generally a big no in classical music), it also uses mediants with the same chord quality, in this case two minor chords one third apart, which is something not common at all in classical music, I'm sure you can find an example of it, but it is not the standard. It's a meme and all, but the standard in classical music is traditional functional harmony (I-V). I'm not saying metal cannot be intluenced by classical music, I know a lot of metal music is, I am a classical musician and I also personally like metal. I just think this piece in particular doesn't have any classical elements to it.

[@chrisstone-streetlightinte5629]

@d_rivadeneyra I suppose you have a point on the parallel fifths, as they are all over this song. I flew a bit loose with the term and often consider medieval influenced music, which does contain frequent use of parallel fifths, as classical when it's actually not.

[@cronostrigger6401]

you can translate any song into piano, it doesn't mean it has classical influences. but this a great song though. it's a piece of our time, so for sure it will influence many musicians for many decades. maybe it's classical piece of our time

[@VernalFilm]

Wow who else got goose bumps already at 00:15 ?! Well done. This really shows how beautiful black metal actually is.

[@igormix2510]

Today, a month ago one of the dearest longtime friends of mine decided to leave this reality. Dissection's song 'Where dead angels lie' is the last song I shared with him and since then, this song, which is very beautiful on its own, got stuck in my mind and heart. Somehow the lyrics of this song sadly fit well with my friend's departure. He was an angel. He was such a splendid, profoundly kind, humble, yet very educated person; a real honest and loyal soul. Thank you so much for this beautiful piano interpretation of it ❤ I have watched all your videos and they're all so touching and passionated. Greetings from the Italian high Alps. May my dear friend Nadir rest in peace now.

[@erikmartens4194]

Take care, I hope your friend has found his personal peace. If anything, music like Dissection and covers like this can help people stay on this side. But yet, sometimes the abyss is too nearby. To put it in Jon's words: beyond the event horizon lies the void of my dreams.

[@igormix2510]

Thank you for your words Erik. I can tell you this, anyone who's been lucky enough to meaningfully cross paths with him and to be capable of understanding his immense value will most certainly keep a place of honour in their hearts for him. I have the feeling that the abyss had been beneath his feet for a long time, so long, that apparently, nobody seems to have even known about such deep suffering. Now, I don't want to become verbose about this. Let's remind people who we love, that we love them, because we truly never know how suddenly they might disappear. Dear Pianist Lady, I'm sorry I don't actually know your name, I think it would be lovely to see you cover maybe a Gojira, a Children of Bodom, a Dimmu Borgir or even a Tool song. Have a good one y'all ❤️‍🩹🤘

[@JoseFernandez-zz1xd]

How was it posible? 😲 It sounds so great, so enrapturing, so engaging, so DISSECTION. It's a perfect adapted. When you have heard so many times that song and now play this video, it blows your mind. I love your talent girl.

Wow. This is the best performed Dissection piano cover i have heard. I would love to hear you cover Thorns Of Crimson Death too.

[@istharband]

a musical piece composed in the 18th century by maestro Jon Nödtveidt .....amizing!!!

[@somesz83]

This, this is an evidence that Jon was the greatest talent of the BM scene.

[@botondnagy7649]

Jon nagyon tudta a dolgát, de még ott van a Thorns-os csávó, Snorre, aka. Blackthorn, akinek a Grymyrk demójából a Home nótában visszacseng ennek a dalnak a fő motívuma - csak egy kicsit korábbi időszakban. Persze sokkal nyomasztóbban, kásásabban, de ez nem von le semmit az értékéből. Szóval, kellett azért a megfelelő ihletforrás is... Sőt, az említett Thorns dalban még még Mayhemes dallamfoszlányok is úszkálnak... Talán elmondható, hogy a mól hangnemek használatának elterjedése az BM műfajban Euronymus és Blackthorn munkájának köszönhető. Emlékeim szerint ezt valaki, aki az egész mozgalomnak a tövén volt, majdnem szó szerint így erősítette meg. Ne feledd, a jó öreg Jon másodgenerációs BM-es volt - amennyiben a korai, Venom/Bathory/Hellhammer vonalat - nulladik generációnak tekintjük. Ugyanakkor azt, hogy mekkora tehetség volt Jon, szerzeményei igazolják. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5naapare7ufoq8 De ha tehetség, akkor Isahn Császárról miért nem szóltunk még egy szót sem??? :)

[@pansionathos]

His true gift to his followers is something else far from his music. Thank you Jon for planting the anticosmic seed in the hearts of the strong! The Will is the Law! Hail the triumph of Will!! Azerate 218

[@grainyday]

Im gently headbangigng :))) but honestly I showed to my pianist wife to explain once again what I see in black metal .... thank you !

[@manualLaborer]

Oh ho... good luck with that. My wife has zero reception to death metal, insisting it is garbage with no musical merit.

[@matternicuss]

Have you tried taking her to a concert? My girlfriend isn't into death metal (or really most extreme metal in general), but I took her to see Gorguts and she had a great time, despite it not being her thing.

[@manualLaborer]

@@matternicuss a concert? oh ho... good luck with that. not receptive to tracks like "genital grinder" and "vomited anal tract". i even promised not to play on our anniversary. :(

[@matternicuss]

manualLaborer haha yeah you might have to ease her in with something more accessible. I think the first metal concert I took the gf to was Enslaved. The clean vocals and proggy bits helped I think

[@Mp57navy]

@@matternicuss Urgh, newer Enslaved is pretty garbage tho. The best Enslaved record is "Vikingligr Veldi" from 1994. If you want a piano, the track "Norvegr" has it, on that record. Edit: if your GF wants metal, here's a run down of my wife's favorites: Theater of Tragedy - Velvet Darknes They Fear, Epica - The Phantom Agony, Trees of Eternity - Hour Of the Nightingale. Now, actual good BM/DM, that does not sound like a garbage can is hard to come by. Mgla, 1914, Sinmara, and Deathspell Omega come to mind. It's not for the uninitiated, IMO.

Totally inexperienced player here. I've just been able to sound out SOME of these glorious chords by ear and its such a treat. These phrases are so lush sounding and there's so MANY of them. It's tricky to translate things which are easy to play of guitar to the keyboard. I can't think of many metal songs that have this sort of voicing. So haunting and beautiful.

In the dawn an angel was dancing Surrounded by an aura of light But in the shadows something was watching And with patience awaiting the night Angel whispers: "Mournful night, attractive night Your dark beauty obsesses me" An angel bewitched by the shadows Seduced by the whispering lies A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze Is sweeping all over the plain On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale On her face an image of pain Snow is now falling to the frozen ground The angel is covered by white Frost is spreading across the plain To welcome the eternal night The dress is white with crystals of ice And frozen roses so red Roses of blood from an innocent soul On the plain lies an angel dead A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering The silence was broken by cries A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie Touch the snow...Caress the lifeless sculptures Die!!! A spell was cast an the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold The blackness that falls is coming to stay Under the snow lies angels so cold Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling Another story is told A spell was cast and the sky turned red The angel's heart froze to ice In the gloomy sky - the silence where dead angels lie

[@ilker.gungor]

[@supernonkey]

There is something about the opening phrases of this piano cover that really strike a chord with me. A visceral response that puts me on the verge of wanting to cry. It's as if the music is foreboding of some impending tragic event. It's really quite intense. It's not something I get from the original song played on guitar. So it's probably related to the timbre of the piano. Anyways, thank you ever so much for this Marina!
