Created a new OVERLOUD TH1 patch with an old school sound and used some of vintage blackened chops which focus much more on vibe/atmosphere than technical precision. It's primitive, but that's what Black Metal is all about
 We are going to go through these techniques in this SATURDAYS VIDEO CHAT SESSION so BEN!! CAN I USE YOUR SPIFF TRACK THIS WEEKEND IN MY LESSON?YOU RAAAAAAAWWWWWWWKKKKKKKK (Growl/grunt/argghh)

BLACKER THAN BLACK [attachment=29533:Blacker_than_Black.mp3] I was inspired by Todd's Black Metal documentary thread. I wanted to get something with icy chords and blastbeats happening. It's bit of a change to the kind of thing you guys know me for..  The first 'riff' is basically centred around D Minor and alternates between G# (which is the Tritone, flat 5th etc) and D. It hits the G# and D a2 time before resolving from G# to A. That would essentially mean that it resolves from the flat 5th to the perfect 5th. So this can give us mainly a minor sound. I would use D Minor, D Minor Pentatonic.. and just emphasise the G# (flat 5th) every now and then. Or try D Phrygian Dominant.. or even Harmonic Minor.. see what gives you an evil sound ! The next riff use Em to Fm with an open E root note as a pedal tone between the chords. The F would give us a minor 2nd suggesting modes like Phrygian, Phrygian Dominant.. but also try the normal E Minor scale too I know it's a fast track but don't worry about your skills, I want this to be open to everyone. Why not totally go against the grain and put some slow, bluesy licks over it ?!  It's an audio collab only so mp3's or wavs will do just fine ! Deadline is Wednesday 28th November !

Ain't really into black metal but thought I'd have a stab at this one. So corpse paint and studs on.

QUOTE (WeePee @ Nov 20 2012, 06:25 PM) Hell yeah, diggin' this ! This is what I meant when I said that the solo doesn't have to reflect the speed of the backing track. Just because the backing is fast, the solo doesn't have to be. In fact, a contrast is usually better to add melody to the extreme nature of the track ! Great work V !
