Shades of Black: Erebus

[@NikNocturnal]

You're an Egyptian god, been following you since your first couple tracks and ur a big influence on my original music as well, keep it up dude! :)

[@Theheavyspammingraider]

Nik Nocturnal Nik Do a cover of something from ocean I'm sure you would help him get bigger To colossus scorpion king habitual or somethin to bring in people who love breakdowns and heavy shit

[@NikNocturnal]

Thats a great idea! It's actually funny how you said ""help him get bigger" because it's hard for me to fathom how far my channel has come and the support people like yourself have given me, in which I actually can somewhat be near people who I took as huge influences in my work when I was starting :)

[@7dashti]

egyptian? lol fuck egyptian music

[@adopodrinje1499]

6:30 >>> FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE SOLO AND RIFFING STYLE ! and drumming!!! LOVE IT !

[@adopodrinje1499]

even Nile and Hate Eternal can be jealous at the innovation of this guitar-music and riffs and melody !!! my compliments!!

[@adopodrinje1499]

I just keep on listening ! over and over again! in my head it doesnt stop! the melodies the riffs the innovation ! keeps on going on and on and on !!! no words for it !!! 1 man army ! pure art !

[@moonsama395]

I'm obsessed with this tune bro...amazing work. Thanks you so much. It made me great company during depressed moments, but also moments of triumph.

[@hazsht561]

It's funny when I see bands, who get screwed by big name producers like Eyal Levi, put out content..... and then I hear this. Good shit. This man is proof that you don't need a fancy name to publish your music in order to be discovered. If you know how to music.... it will happen.

[@witchkingof-angmar2996]

single handedly my all time favorite one man band. you inspire me on a daily basis. can't thank you enough.

[@goobypls6044]

[@zulegmat]

Ahmed Hamdi I’m still working on new material right now! Life has made it a little harder to record as much as I used to but I’m still working on new material and practicing guitar everyday. I hope to release more videos soon!

[@Traitors1991]

Already pre-ordered the album on bandcamp

[@benbaer3525]

[@ShootingStarfromTheMoreYouKnow]

Beautiful work man!

[@softlikesilk]

wow. awesome shit man. got my pre order in. cant wait. greetings from yorkshire in the uk :D

[@KACAH222]

Hi! Love your new album! General quality noticeably improved from pre-production stage (especially Orcus - my favourite track from album for now). The only question is, why Moirai and Mousai tracks are the same? Is it progressive idea or just inattention while uploading tracks to Bandcamp?

[@zulegmat]

Hey I'm really happy you brought this up! That was a huge error on my end. I did not intend for them to be the same song. I somehow accidentally uploaded the wrong file for Moirai. BANDCAMP HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH THE CORRECT SONG FOR MOIRAI. The CORRECT song can be individually downloaded here shadesofblack.bandcamp.com/track/moirai for free. I'll also need to set up an email list and send everyone who has bought the album thus far the correct song for Moirai.

[@benbaer3525]

I thought you intended to use the same song twice as some sort of interlude, and made a typo. Thank you for giving us the real Morai Matt, ant thank you Den for bringing this question up.

[@zulegmat]

+Ben Baer Yeah no problem. I still can't believe I did that. But both songs are intended to be interludes in the album, to give the listener a sort of musical break from all the brutality. I love Moirai, the song has a lot of meaning behind it for me and why/when it was written so it really sucked when I heard that I messed up getting it on bandcamp. Glad it's up now though.

[@mattjames4593]

Man I have to say, the stuff you produce is incredible! I keep looking at your views when I'm on your channel, expecting them to blow up any second. Also, the amount of time you put in to writing, recording and mixing must be huge; have you ever made a video about your process for your music? I think it would be really interesting.

[@ekremsam7968]

Damn Daniel!👍👍👍

[@ФомаНеверущий-э1ь]

Братан, а где новая музыка? Уже 2019....

[@Shizbam]

This song is so fuckin deadly, would love to see a playthrough!!!!!

[@MarioB128]

Magnificent! :-)

[@benbaer3525]

Well it's almost been a year since The Gates, Just wondering what you're up to and want to wish you well. I think I speak on behalf of your entire fan base when I say I simply cannot wait to hear what you have got cooking, I hope you're doing alright, and your music is amazing please don't stop.

[@zulegmat]

Thanks man I appreciate it, good to hear a very sincere comment. I'm doing very well. I am currently working on new music, a new album called "Type 1" in light of my recent diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. My albums generally take a lot longer to write just because I'm so much busier then I was years ago when I could stay up til 4am writing and get up and continue. I want to put out more content very soon, actually want to start putting out content regularly (scheduled). So all in all, shades of black is definitely here to stay and I'll continue and try my best to put out quality content.

[@braydosamigos]

Mad shit man!

[@goobypls6044]

That end riff is the heaviest shit I've ever heard holy ass

[@PROxShAnT]

TOP TOP TOP SUKA!!

[@jackfinger5386]

[@ltdan8070]

Anyone know where to find the tabs for this??? I can't find em anywhere! Please help D:

[@hamiltonluiz325]

3 years later, I've found this song and I was searching for the same thing: the tabs. I've found it, but just with Chords, not the traditional tabs with single notes, hammer-on's/pull-offs and etc. I wish Shades of Black could share the tabs with us so baad 😔

[@hamiltonluiz325]

And no one did a single Cover of this in these 4 past years

[@manbat_xd]

Great job lad!

[@Theheavyspammingraider]

iTunes will be shutting down downloads Band camp has a louder crisper sound anyways

[@TheElderOwl]

this is brutal!! guitar tunning?

[@cameronmeyer523]

Holy Santa Clause Shit that was epic

[@nap6193]

If i was a WWE wrestler, this would be my fucking song. And every opponent would crumble, not because of my own strength and awesomeness, but because of the raw fear manifested from this song.

[@calvinmcpherson6880]

😮

[@ThomasFoucharel]

who the fuck dislike this masterpiece

[@jaythedjentleman2571]

What is your tuning?

[@Dilidjent]

Shades Of Black VS Anup Sastry VS Their Dogs Were Astronauts

[@rwvisuals]

Dilidjent shades hands down.

[@localsymbiosis]

Definitely Shades of Black. I dont like the other two you listed..... i tried, but they are just rather boring in my opinion.

[@israeljacobs3825]

I still get bummed about the fact that SoB isn't a full band :(

[@Th3EnterNal]

TAAAAAAAABSSSSSS pls.
