    One of the main reasons why Life eternal by Mayhem is one of my favourite bm songs is because of the fact that the bass isnt just plain and boring

    I like the fact that you didn’t talk about bass “just being in key” with the guitars but rather have the ability to do its own thing. That’s why many people praise B. War for being a sharp and creative bassist in black metal

    Hearing that bass guitar in black metal in doing it's own thing that's not too simple, but not too complicatedly technical as well is why it has its good low melodies.
    It reminds me on Ulver's "I Troldskog Faren Vild" where the bass follows along with the guitars with most of the song, but at one point it does its melodic part which really stands out to be one of my favorite part on bass.

    Hauntingly beautiful use of natural minor in the ascending pattern for the transition work. With bass, depending on the riff in question, it can be tricky to take various liberties, but here the melodies are done to excellent effect.
    By the way, the audio quality was uniquely great, given that you used stereo tracks.

    This was so needed, thank you ! I think it'd be cool to do a lesson on harmonizing, or rather how to get 2 guitars to sound good together while still doing their own thing (kinda like you did there with the bass). A prime example of that would be the song "Where Dead Angels Lie" by Dissection (yes, I love that band)

    I found this very informative and educating. Im not really a black metal player or even a real black metal fan tbh. But i like using these types of riffs/chords to my own playing. As a bass player, it is sometimes difficult to find your place with metal in general, even the bass tone in general. I myself usually start with the same guitar riffs(most time root notes) and build from there. Thanks for enlightening us👍

    I was in a black metal band ,were I was the bassist, and we decided we put the gain and treble as loud as possible with my bass in order to get a rhythm guitar like sounds, as we didn't had any rhythm guitarist in our bands, Do you think it can be a good way for black metal bass parts ?

    I have subscribed to your views on bass in a black metal context for a long time now.
    I’m in Sacramento and want to play bass for a black metal band. Hit me up if you need a bass player and are near me. Have wanted to play with a black metal band but not too many black metal bands in my area.

    Here's a BM bass lesson: Unless you're the dude from DsO, don't be audible, not once not ever. 10/10 would learn again.

    pretty good, but needs to be less audible...more "non-existent" to be black metal. That's why I take my strings off and mime playing the bass.

    Dont agree at all…. First of all, the bass always needs to serve the bass drum and drums… second, when guitars are playing a riff it’s not always good to play additional notes on the bass. It needs to fit between drums and guitars and bring them together. Not to play melodies.

      depends on the riff

      @@DevGohil no. Depends on the beat.
      Looking for the riffs is the typical failure of bassists who never had bass lessons. And even in black Metal you should know how to get rhythm and string section together.
      But if it fits for you it’s okay.

    can you get this sound with most electric guitars or bass? i've never really played guitar or bass in my life but I'm getting bored so I'm thinking about it. I've just come across "bridgecraft", "laguna", and "epiphone" guitar brands for sale
    no I've never heard of them in my life but the bridgecraft is the least expensive
