Writing An Ambient Black Metal Song 

Oh heck...I didn't go to school with you, or indeed know you in real life do I? 😳 *comically worried look*

She's awesome

Grandma? GRANDMA??? Pfffffffft! I shall be retaliating at a later date... ;-) (but thanks for saying I rock).

Ha ha. Thanks. It wasn't originally meant to be Burzum-esque, but it did turn out that way.

Thanks.

Cool. Thanks for subscribing. :-)

You are welcome! Glad you liked it. :-)

Ha! Thanks.

Ha ha ha! Yes, people get a bit surprised when I tell them I'm into black metal. I've been asked whether I was wearing various t-shirts because I liked the picture rather than the band etc in shops, and did manage to frighten some "edgy" Slayer-tshirt wearing kids on the tram one day. 😀 Still, at least you didn't call me "grandma"... 😂

@@joolz666 LMAO. I feel it. Im heavily into black metal and extreme metal.

@@Metalkid1500 Yeah, but you probably don't look like your strict religious aunt. 😂😀😎

@@joolz666 True. 🤣

Looking like someone's "strict religious aunt" (*giggles*), "grandma" (pffft, I got age ID-ed at last month's Rotting Christ gig), etc has its benefits... *evil giggles*😈

Ha ha, I wouldn't go that far, but thanks.

I tried. 😊🤘

Cheers! Trying to get a Black Metal sound even if it does end up sounding goth. 🤘😀

Hails to the 666th like.😎🤘🤘🤘 Yes, I could have tried a bit harder to look a bit more trve kvlt and metal in the video, but it was cold and at least I wasn't wearing a cardigan.😂

Cheers. I'm not very good at Black Metal to be honest (though I'm trying), but miserable I can do very well. 😃

Ha ha ha ha ha! Thanks!

Thanks! Happy you liked it.

Sorry? 🤔😏

this was fucking awesome 🤘 sorry i dont know how to form a sentence XD

Ah, thank you. Don't worry, the ability to form a coherent sentence is frequently one of my failings too. ;-)

Heh. I *try* and do black metal, be it brutal, trve kvlt, or more ambient. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

When you play as well as I do (ahem), you can never have too much reverb! 😂 Thanks for the sub.

I'm happy you liked the video and you found it useful. Yes, I'm using Waveform - I like the layout and it's easy to use.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ha ha ha, thanks. I think Vrag might cry into his chocolate milk on hearing it, but...then again not. :-) Thanks for watching.

Thank you very much! I'll try and continue to be wonderful for you. 😎

@@joolz666 :) your channel seems very good!!! have to check out some other videos too!

Thanks. You might quite like ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OwatJoZ1C7k.html or ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NknkAQt9CM0.html then. I do slower atmospheric songs from time to time.

Glad it helped!

Thanks for listening. I hadn't noticed the similarity between my song and 'Back To The Shadows', but yes...I can hear it now it's been pointed out. Not quite my intention, but I admit a *slight* (ahem) Burzum influence to the song in general. :-)

Thanks. I've got another video of me me trying to make metal in the pipeline, but I'm being horribly lazy and unmotivated at the moment.

@@joolz666 hope you find the motivation soon. Cheers!

@@satyronofficial FINISHED IT!!!! I'll post it on Sunday. 🙂

Thanks! I try... ;-)

There are definitely not enough women into black metal. I like the idea of coffee (black, of course) and pastries.🙂

It was one of my favourites when I first started trying to make Black Metal. I should start using it again. :-)

Thanks for subscribing. Happy to hear you liked the video of the making of (what became) 'The Door'.

Cool. I look forward to hearing it. 🤘

Yes. 🤘 Nothing says "satanist" like a middle aged woman in a jumper. 😁

Thank you!

???

Happy to hear you liked the video and found it useful. I've got another "writing/making of" video coming up soon (if I ever get round to finishing it!!!) (

Thank you. Happy you liked it. I think I left the song without drums in the end. If I were to put drums on (could be an interesting experiment with blast beats 😄), I would probably either programme them myself or use some of the sample beats/fills/etc rom KVLT Drvms II.

Took your question and have just done a video of me adding drums to the song. It'll be up tomorrow (Sunday 27 March). Thanks!

Hahahahahahaha. I'm not from NS (Nova Scotia), ahem... ;-)

@@joolz666 oh no, I meant National Socialism mixed with a little Germanic paganism, that will be the winning recipe for your song:)

@@bobthompson5771 Ha ha ha, I knew what you meant. 🤣

@@joolz666 you have to admit, NS is soo much more passionate when done right, there wouldn't be a whole reddit group "RABM" that searches out NSBM safe alternatives, it's like they know it's better but can't stand it lolololololol

Thanks for saying you like my content. I haven't stopped uploading, I just wasn't feeling very creative over the last few weeks.

Hahahahahahahaha!!! I checked out your channel; I might do some practicing using your riff lessons...I need all the help!

Grandma???!!! 😱

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Hooray for Google Translate! :-D What are you surprised about?

Thanks!

I use a Behringer UMC22 audio interface and then Tracktion Waveform as my DAW. Seriously, pursue working on your own music and don't worry if it's crap (in your, or anyone else's opinion). 1) you'll get better and if you record it, you'll hear your own progress; 2) it's great fun and highly enjoyable, which is the main thing. 👍🤘 Give me a shout when you do, I'd like to hear your efforts. 🙂

That's the plan! I checked out your music - very raw. Cool. \m/

Thanks. No, I don't have a drum kit though I have been known to record myself banging my hands on my desk. 😀 Most of the time these days I programme midi drums using a keyboard.

@@joolz666 if you dont have space or if they're too noisy, I think investing in a small electric drum pad could work and would be more fun than programming it in midi ;) I used an electric drum pad to learn drums when I started.

Could definitely be an idea for the future.

@@tangytoby I do that with a little MPK mini, it lets me make it sound a little more organic without too much extra effort. And I can tap away for the double bass. Would recommend. I moved and had to sell my drum kit, a sad day, but still have to fill in somehow. I do want a proper drum machine though for live playing

@@d1ssolv3r nice!

Thanks!

Neither from Norway nor a grandma.

Thank you for your insightful and constructive feedback... 🙄😏

Thanks. Glad you liked it.
