I like how you clearly understand that there are no actual rules, and remind the viewer over and over again to do what sounds good. Thats like... rule #1 in making music..... make shit that sounds good!

I think this is the only video about writing a certain style of music that didn't just focus on the notes and chords commonly used in the genre. Describing the intent behind the sound was really helpful. Any chance of getting a video on writing a Hellhammer or Celtic Frost song?

Very glad to hear that it was helpful :) I'll put those bands in the list :)

As a fan of stoner and doom metal, I've been trying to incorporate these genres into my hard rock/old school heavy metal band, so this video is much appreciated, as it gave me a more in-depth perspective to the genre than the one I had for years. Thank you for providing such an informing video for as doom metal lovers! However, one of the things that still puts me off from doing so with this band is that I don't feel like down-tuning all of my guitars. I know that Pagan Altar played in E, but I feel that drop tuning works the best to get that "end of the world" atmosphere. I don't think I could achieve much of that atmosphere in standard or even half-step tuning.

Use an octaver. From what I've experienced, you can play on the A string with an octaver, and it'll sound 'doomier' than a 7 string. But it mostly comes down to the distortion you use. I find the desire to down-tune to be overrated. In my eyes, tuning should be based on the singers range. You can easily make stuff sound heavy without detuning. But if your singer can't sing the melody, then change the guitars to suit.

@@writemetalmusic Thanks for the advice! I never used an octaver before and it seems like the best route. As for distortion, I generally run a slightly dirty amp with SD-1 and Proco Rat over it. Rat to me seems to have sufficient fuzz for doom metal, but if you have an advice on that front, I'm all ears and would be very grateful.

Great video! The way I learned how to write slow, heavy music was by looking up tabs then feeling out the riff itself. 😎

@@writemetalmusic thank you! At a certain point, you get tired of seeing people doing sweep picking at 200 BPM. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun learning that stuff and there are great bands who can do it BUT it’s more fun playing slow, trance-like material. 🙏

Funny thing is I use to listen to death metal and doom while playing diablo back in 2010 on a laptop killing demons and this year at 31 played the new doom games while listening to death and doom through my adult speakers that put me in debt.. time is beautiful.

Doom theory… I never thought i would listen to something like this… I guess the genre is becoming more mainstream. You did a good job breaking it all down. I would like to hear more elaboration on down tuning and pedal choice but not a big deal.

@writemetalmusic 8 ай бұрын

I appreciate the comment! But I'm not sure what more you need to hear about drop tuning and pedal choice than what I've mentioned. I wouldn't go further than drop A, and the link to the Mick Gordon clip shows you the lengths that he went to to get it. Beyond that, just experiment. Use Neural Amp Modeller to get pretty much any amp or pedal you want and combine it in unique ways to make insane sounds. Your experimentation will give you your signature sound :)
