How to make Atmospheric Black Metal in 5 Steps

[@Basslcal]

A string bend? What am I, David Gilmour?

[@G3E007]

bending strings? thats edible?

[@Metaldude1945]

Love it when something is done with the bass other than root notes

[@BarBarian-sy5xz]

Agreed. 🤘

[@berserker2551]

Unfortunately the ideology of simple and boring bass is so deep in the minds of musicians that few dare to do something interesting.

[@guitaristslair]

imagine playing only root notes... but not playing them on guitar

[@_Stroda]

​@@berserker2551 i) I don't think that's at all true ii) Sometimes it really is best for the bass just to follow the root notes or otherwise play something 'boring'.

[@berserker2551]

@@_Stroda Dude, I can understand when a song works with something simpler, more doesn't always mean better. But come on, can't they do something more interesting?Some variation in the Riffs, some articulation in a transition, some bass solo in the bridge, in short something more interesting.........

[@Spiffelight]

Atmospheric Black Metal will never cease to get me into magic melancholy, it's terrific emotionally for me. Even if yours is in a funny 5 min instruction edit, that's a banger!

[@Spiffelight]

@@Farvann I misspoke, as in how its presented. 5 min edit how to o⁠:⁠-⁠) it's really great

[@behindthen0thing]

​@@Farvann song is legit badass

[@TheLeefung]

Atmospheric Black Metal honestly is the subgenre that got me into Black Metal, so your guide is highly appreciated 😃

[@viniciusamorim237]

Black Metal is already a subgenre

[@1brytol]

​@@viniciusamorim237 And in metal subgenres have subgenres

[@reigninoel]

"It's black metal, what did you expect?" Ahahhah

[@ydm6669]

I expected " DAAAAAAAAAAARKKKKKIKIKKKKKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOLVESSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!! THE SNOOOOOWWWWW !!!!!! " 😅

[@naftbefehl]

well i expected him to stare into the camera for a few seconds and then say "Satan"

[@Payito5607]

Doesn't matter if it is a joke/parody video on a subgenre, it's obvious you know pretty well how to do black metal, and pretty much you're a master in the craft of creating this kind of songs, you're really a good musician.

[@atermon6]

Dude your music is always so good, even if you are making songs like this one for a simple video!!

[@leechick]

This song actually slaps, also your vocals sound gnarly as fuck! Sick work dude!

[@tompayton84]

Actually a fairly killer song you’ve made 🤘🏻 atmospheric black metal is great for those introspective winter walks

[@blackmetalden]

I'm so happy you made this and made a killer song in the end. I know you weren't the biggest fan of the style but it's my 100% favorite these days, brings up a lot of emotions when I listen to bands that play it.

[@yansakovich]

I am fascinated how awesome the results in your tutorials videos are.

[@bassofd00m]

farvann your guitar tone in this one was immaculate brother, this is amazing stuff

[@agucci]

Wow, these vocals gave me goosebumps. Great work!

[@nicop5306]

I love your Howling Voice man !! Great job for this one. Atmospheric BM is my favourite BM subgenre.

[@NikolaSekuloski]

I like how Varg used to make it's confusing, trust me, but he incirporates simple mix with clean uninterapted solos, wearing it down with more solos hitting super high tones like nibbling the string and being himself in the studio. And he shows like style being badass on the guitar, and entrances the listener sir.

[@blackmetalden]

Varg is definitely a POS but musically I think he's great, Belus is a masterpiece of an album IMHO.

[@likeadead2230]

varg is a cringe-man

[@BasedHyperborean]

@@likeadead2230 you're gay bro

[@aldomares1887]

Varg is a cool guy

[@Korgon2013]

@@aldomares1887 ^^^I found varg ^^

[@ozzlayer]

Maaaan your vocals are unique and extremely powerful. 🤘👍🏻

[@mrfleisch1636]

Sound like Varg, or Eöl from Elffor.

[@ApocalypseRider]

I actually like the song altough I first considered this gonna be a sarcastic joke. You did great job creating this little piece of abm!! Do more! :D

[@lurchl1]

Aahahaha! The pics of Hendrix, SRV etc made me actually LOL. Great stuff, subbing

[@andrecoquim]

Man you absolutely smash it on vocals 👊 I would totally run in the woods while listening to this

[@Gerd0]

The simple drums really add so much to this style of black metal when the performance is really tight. While the parts themselves aren't particularly complicated, I can listen to just the raw drum tracks from a Drudkh album and I'd be totally satisfied.

[@milanhamborsky6021]

I love your vocals so much 🖤

[@amitbitan]

Black metal is the closest form to magic

[@GodKiller97]

I wasn’t sure how funny this was going to be but then you put that little bit in with you in the forest and did not disappoint

[@fnix6636]

This is your best how to make- video so far! I also think your videos are improving so much, you are really talented. Keep it up!

[@Oskier94]

Man I love the vocals damn my favourite style, at work when I'm tired of talking on discord I'm saying that "I'm going to listen to sad gernans in the forest" and after 1 album of Nyktalgia I'm recharged (gamedev is fun until you work there)

[@MARKHENSTROM]

im seeing that immortal banner in the background. i cant tell you the number of times ive wanted to see heart of winter get an instrumental release. i mean the entire record.

[@michaeldwellington]

Great start to the new year! Look forward to more awesome content 👌🤘

[@florian_thrash]

We need this on streaming services ASAP!!

[@MegaKrauss]

this is not only a good approach to make atmospheric black metal, but a good song also , great job!

[@HermZirk]

Very nice! Would buy the Album, for sure!

[@ItsmeShazam]

The lead guitar part always gives me goosebumps! Danke schön !

[@timothymckane6362]

I love how harrowing the music sounds in its agonizing, cold dreaded way. Good job.

[@KeymoEmbryo]

Really enjoyed this one, awesome stuff man, keep up the amazing work and Hail All Goats! \m/

[@MkadinA01]

Farvann you may have found the genre of your calling. Unironically best one yet

[@Rafa_Frost]

Well done bro, this is the perfect bonus track for "For the snow covered the Northland"

[@abgot777]

Your howling vocals are the best!

[@gogotrololo]

BM vocals is what i live for. and the guitars. and the bass. the drums are great too.

[@chili_phil]

I love that riff when the drums stop, god dam amazing brother

[@SentencedToBurn]

How am I just dicscovering your channel now.. First thought you were going to take the piss, and then you make this masterpiece. What a legend. Subbed and thank you!

[@noureliwa1925]

best subgenre of black metal beside depressive and finish to me

[@rizkiawan21]

I'm a big fan of ABM, and you're work is so relate to what i'm listen!🔥😁

[@tifak380]

do a full version i love this

[@natas3.14]

Oh my, ..what a tasty riff! Very nice Farvann! Very tasty indeed. Nothing better than a tutorial that places me in the middle of winter, the not so distant howling of wolves, & my word, is it cold.. Great stuff, man! Always enjoy your uploads!

[@OsvaldoSaldanhaFilho]

this sounds really really good man. Congrats!

[@davidnilsson7733]

man, your howling is so dope

[@annath_ii]

Brother you've gotten funnier ;DD I'm finding myself replaying scenes like if it's some anime

[@Darklord345646]

Lovely video, lovely tunes, lovely vocals.🤩 I sense "Hivs lyset tar oss" here. Great album.😎

[@Lotastic_Films]

0:53 Farvann playing BM at a campfire while going down a creek... Okay, I was not expecting that🎸🔥😂 love the vibe of this song. The bass sounds awesome 👍

[@IIImp3]

The first 2 drum patterns sound great with a ride cymbal on the off beats !!!

[@Squee_666_9]

That was actually really sick. Well now you need to publish the song.

[@Squee_666_9]

@@Farvann Just loop it it'll be fine lol

[@Atzeclaus]

Best metal KZbinr change my mind Greetings from Brandenburg

[@floridtv]

Pyramids are my favorite atmospheric black metal band, definitely check them out if you're getting into this. "A Northern Meadow" is the most accessible of their two albums. They did some collabs with Nadja as well. Jesu and Loveliescrushing did some remixes of songs off their first album which is extremely experimental. On that album, I'd start off with Sleds, then The Echo of Something Lovely, then End Resolve (my favorite), and Hellmonk

[@strangerjoe6766]

Oh man please make and release a full album of that, I like it

[@-Seppuku-]

The most precious thing about atmospheric bm is that it doesn’t need much to convey emotions and sound awesome. Not everything has to be super complex to be good. Sometimes simplicity wins the game. The video and song are awesome ♥️

[@InitiatorOfDarkness]

That was a really good song

[@Oakenbull]

I love howls, you nailed em!

In the next tutorial you need to spend 80% of time on bass track and then make it inaudible in the mix 😂
