I pride myself in having a pretty eclectic taste in music, and I can say that I like pretty much all genres…
Expect one.
I do NOT like death metal music. I don’t like how aggressive and angry it is. It hurts my ears.
But I’m setting myself a challenge…
To try and see if Death Metal can sound beautiful when played on the piano.

"Can Deah Metal be beatiful?"
Death Metal is beatiful already.
True bro
She should've heard Dechristianize from Vital Remains though...
This is what comment i looking for
amen
Exactly!
I find classical music and metal music have a lot of common. They're both intricate in their structure, they're both very dramatic, and they both require high proficiency with instrumentation.
I would say that your comments definitely don't apply to ALL metal bands. However, they definitely apply to nearly all of my favorites. I tend to prefer European metal bands. Especially those from the Scandinavian region precisely because of the tendency for strong classical elements. Great comment!
Dude they are the exact same thing
I actually found a classical metal Mashup genre the other day. Didn't know it was a thing. 🤷♂️
"Can Death Metal Be Beautiful?"
*includes two Deathcore songs as candidates and ends up choosing one of them*
We won't find out this time around, I guess!
along with a metalcore band
But... Entombed was the only Death Metal band on that list. 🤷♂️
People who don’t know any different think death metal and metalcore are the same 🤷♂️
Yeah they think all types of metal is death metal
@@aadityatuli :D Can happen yes
Yeah, they should have gave her some songs by Death
We can't expect that a person that hate this kind of music, would mind to find out more about it. And, when a mainstream person comes to the underground... well it can only go to hell.
You know what the thing about metal is? Once you are used to the high intensity and the distortion (scream vocals are basically distorted vocals), you'll hear the same beauty in the songs that other people may only hear in such piano versions. To people not used to it, the loudness and distortion is distracting from the actual musical elements at first. Thats the whole reason of the "is this music?" attitude.
Lisa, your cover is great, BUT.... your piano is definitely missing the distortion pedal. ;-)
And technically it could have a distortion DSP effect.
YES LMAO
Funny thing is, this is basically what the music already sounds like to the fans. Like you said, underneath all of that over-the-top arrangement and vocals, the framework is actually really good.
I think what you're looking for is Melodic Death Metal!
Pieter Rossouw or symphonic metal, and some folk metal is much less heavy.
Also there are also quite a few classical pieces that are quite similar to metal. like for example the iron foundry by Mosolov
Still quite funny how non metal fans always react the same way.
Oh yeah Gyze time
Exactly!!!
“Make them suffer” actually made Lisa suffer 😂😂
Me too. I wouldn't call that good metal. She should have gone with a song by Gojira considering she is wearing their merch!
Oh hell, you should do early Opeth. (before Heritage) Lots of melody, complex harmonies and a lot of quasi counterpoint type stuff going on. Very interesting musically.
Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries are my jam! Absolutely LOVE Ghost of Perdition.
Actually the “Metal” backbone is pretty much classical music, which is just faster and distorted. I loved this, I used to be a big metal head but now I am open to many sorts of music, since being a musician opened my taste in music. This was funny as hell, thank you for the video, and I look forward for the next one. Ps: it sounded a cross between Adele and Evanescence but better
Metal’s connection to classical music can be summed up in two words, Cliff Burton.
@@MrPoochie-jv8qd I believe in Swedish this roughly translates to Yngwie Malmsteen
I think the keyword here is "death" and not metal. Pretty sure Lisa is specifically referring to the growls in Death Metal music being aggressive and angry.
not really, like metal might be the closest to classical maybe, but not THAT close
Man...in the late 80s early 90s before I was an angry teen. I used to ride my bmx bike across my quiet town and down a dirt farm road to an old house where a very old lady would give piano lessons, 50c for half an hour, I remember getting good enough and looking forward to playing along side her.
Fast forward now and I need music like the metal you featured here to be able to sleep some nights, it screams for me (alot of stuff going on in my brain) but no matter what, piano will always bring tears to my eyes and takes me back to that old house playing as a kid. My fingers move along with it. This was a fun video. I still have my very first Yamaha keyboard and all my books from that time.
What a lot of people don’t realize is music is just a system, it can be converted in numerous ways and sound completely different while still being the same song.
I like how she hates death Metal and wears a Gojira hoodie
If you want melodic death metal it’s Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom and other similar bands.
Wouldn't call bodom death metal, more power/ thrash
Don't be afraid of your anger. Confront it and accept it healthily. That's what death metal does for me
Lisa you truly are amazing, your passion for the piano and music really shines through. Your passion is so inspiring and your personality is addictive. Your method of teaching is amazing, and you keep your audience wanting more, absolutely brilliant.
Make them suffer comes from my home town of WA Australia and Louisa Burton (the keyboard/piano player for the band) is honestly incredible. She does some instrumental pieces like the ‘prologue’ and ‘oceans of emptiness’ from the album ‘never bloom’ by them that is honestly incredible. Don’t sell a band short because you don’t like their sound. Their are amazing artists in genres you never thought that their would be
lolol I was literally laughing watching your reactions, Lisa!! What a great idea for a video!
Me too especially when she said "now I'm scared what's gonna happen next" and the way she jumped when the (music?) started.
Hilarious. Very brave of you to even listen to that stuff Lisa and couldn't wait to see your outcome.
Pleasant surprise in the end.
Loved it and thanks for the laugh.🤣🤣
This is such an interesting topic. I don't know many piano players that would ever do this, so I think these videos are really awesome and unique!
Literally is making me want to learn piano to go along with my guitar playing
Great cover Lisa!! I LOVE IT!! This is such a great video!
Edit: wow your arrangement turned up beautifully. Loved it ❤.
HAHAHAHA Lisa!!! This was so funny. "Who listens to that?" I do 😄.
I absolutely loved this! Please make more of this :)
Great job Lisa! That was amazing how you turned that song into something beautiful. 👍
Beauty is in the ears, brain and mind of the beholder. Like truth it is not absolute, but relative. Speaking for myself, I found your rendition of Erase Me quite beautiful.
This was a fun watch. Thanks!
This is the content we didn't know we needed! Beautiful!
I'm a death metal fan (amongst other genres), and this is actually pretty great! I love it when you sing. You have such a lovely voice... Kisses from Brazil
50 seconds in and I thought, is she going kind of ambitious? I don't know. Let's find out.
2 minutes in and I thought this is a pain to watch, poor teacher Lisa.
And it ended surprisingly well! That's a great cover, teacher Lisa! Thank you for doing this!
Teacher Lisa mmm I like it
Hi Lisa, I thought that was absolutely amazing! I’m 50 years old and I have to say I have never seen anything quite like that! I’ve been playing heavy metal guitar for 35 years and I have just discovered the beauty of the piano. To answer your question why anyone would want to listen to, or play that kind of music; For most of us it’s an outlet from less desirable situations we had to endure as children, and it’s an excellent way for us to release our anger, whether you’re the one on stage or the one in the mosh pit. Anyway, there’s a song by Joe Satriani called Always With Me, Always With You. I think this is a song that you will greatly appreciate. I am able to play this song on the guitar but not on the keyboard, I’ve tried but to no avail. You will need a keyboard with a note bender, but I believe in my heart of hearts that you’ll be able to pull it off. I really hope you give it a try because I know it will be quite challenging. Thank you for your page and all your free lessons, you are really helping me how to learn to play the piano.
Hey !! Thanks so much for your comment on this and for sharing your experience/perspective - I"ll check out hat song :)!!!!
@@PianoteOfficial look on UA-cam at WHO REALLY INVENTED SATANIC METAL ?
I love metal, and I love piano. It was interesting to see them come together in a single video ☺️ also definitely going to check out Make Them Suffer after this ✌🏻🎧
Mind is officially blown. That’s given me some great ideas too.
It sounded amazing. Kudos.
Covering melodic death metal songs in the piano can be insanely healing for those who love this genre!Thank you so much for making this video! It is inspiring! I 've recently made a trial to cover INSOMNIUM ❤
Lisa you made my Tuesday!🤣🤣 Your cover sound so dreamy and moody compared to the original. I love it!
Aight, I'm 2:30 in and I heard you say you can't understand why people like it. That's totally cool. I mean pop, country, rap, djent, ,reggae, etc isn't for everyone. It is appreciated that people take the time to just listen. That's what music is, it's a form of art. Some will like it, others won't. I will edit this when I watch more (hopefully all of it, I am a bit drunk so bare with me).
Edit; I'm back at your piano cover. It was indeed beautiful. You sorted out the distinctive sounds perfect and transcribed them well. I never have any doubts with channels like this but I just wanted to say you earned a subscribe. I can't wait to see more
Metal and classical go hand in hand regarding instruments. Listen to the vocals, many are equivalent to that of opera. Metal cannot be enjoyed the same as listening to pop and such. Guitar solos, drum solos, piano solos, etc., exist for momentary enjoyment of that instrument. Vocals are the same. The octave ranges of the vocalist, along with the pure raw emotion, is astounding. From the mind of a metal head, it goes as such:
" Man that drummer can gravity blast 😦! And oh my God the guitarist is making his guitar sing!! Did you HEAR how he shredded that!? WAIT WAIT WAIT here comes the break down." ( Drums slow down, guitarist chugs power chords, bassist in harmony with drums and as it gets slower and slower increasing anticipation, prepare for awesome because here it comes.... Vocalist kicks in "EEEEEEE ooooohhhhh", bassist drops that bass, sick gallops on the drums, insane guitar rift.)
" 🤘😜 MAN THIS BAND IS IIIINNNNNSSSSAAAAANNNNNE! How do they play like that 😳?"
Basically you don't listen to metal to dance and groove to. Its an appreciation of the humans and their instruments that makes simple humans like me bang my mf head in appreciation for that talent because clapping just wont do...and it's THE BEST release of emotions. Metal really can be and is beautiful.
I have to say that my favorite death metal song is the one you just tamed. Your version. If the genre was like your interpretation, I would so listen to it. You have such talent.
Hope you make this into a series, really loving the vibe
Thanks for this video, Lisa. I haven’t laughed like that in weeks! I had the exact same reactions you did when I heard the Death Metal, but it goes to show you that beauty is in the eye and ear of the beholder. Can’t wait to see the video of the band’s reaction to the “makeover”😳
Thank you for showing us how wonderful music is, Lisa. It was a nice & funny experiment to watch..
The first band would be metalcore or screamo, the second might qualify as death metal or thrash metal, if you're looking for some melodic death metal with a smoother tone here's a couple I would recommend:
1. All Shall Perish - In this Life of Pain (Technical Death Metal) Beautiful Piano Intro for 2:32 seconds
2. Sinister Frost - Vicar Of God Of The Death (Death Metal) Piano Intro/Melody
3. Divinity - Embrace the Uncertain (Technical Metal) Beautiful Piano Intro very melodic
4. Insomnium - In the Groves of Death (Melodic Death Metal) Ambient Soundscapes, Guitar Melody
5. Agalloch - Black Lake Nidstang (Melodic Death Metal) Ambient Soundscapes, Guitar Solo intro and Timpani
6. Quo Vadis - Dream (Death Metal) Ambient, Beautiful Guitar
7. Meadows End - Devilspeed Loathekill (Melodic Death Metal) Cool Grooving Melody Very Crisp Guitars and Solo
8. Obscura - Septuagint (Technical Death Metal) Beautiful Guitar Intro
Heeeeeeeeey, loved the video! I am a HUGE FAN of Make them Suffer and their new album is a bliss! Erase me is my favorite and your version is a delight! Your tutorials are amazing and I've learned A LOT with you! Thaaaaaaanks :D
Metal is a good genre. This is inspiring to all those who like it. Take parts of the melody and create your own beautiful piano remixes. Excellent job!!
Who listens to that? I DO !!!! Erase me from Make them suffer is a great song. Great metal music has a lot in common with classical music from the great masters like Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven etc. I know it. I play Guitar, piano and drums. Nicely done my beautiful girl. Please do "live for this" by Hatebreed😎😁🎸☠🥁🥃👯♀️👙🎤
OMG I am SO EXCITED to see this video - Metal is my favorite genre and you'd be surprised how much it relates to Classical!!!
I love metal among so many other genres. This piano version gave me goosebumps and would definitely be on top of my favorites playlist ❤️
You are adorable! Thank you for doing this cover! I listen to death metal, punk, heavy metal and I sing in a punk band. Music is music and your interpretation of this song is awesome. It reminds me of Evanescence. I just became a member of Pianote to sharpen up my piano skills and I’m loving it! Rock on Lisa! 🤘🏽🎤💕
After I saw this video, some months ago, I actually started listening to most extreme metal music, so thank you
Very creative & open-minded! Interesting & fun lesson, as always👏👍. Thank you 😁.
It would be fantastic to see a video explaining how you broke down the original and arraigned your cover!
I'd love to see the "beautiful" version of Raining Blood by Slayer, classic metal song!
I'm a big MTS fan and I really enjoyed your cover! You have a nice voice
Would love to see you try to do a song by Necrophagist, German Technical Death Metal band. Classically trained and have classical structures to their music while playing with distortion at 200bpm. Would be awesome to see what you come up with.
It would probably be more challenging to try something a bit more brutal like a cannibal corpse song, Would be cool to hear The bleeding or something off that album.
A song from Death would be even more challenging and dynamic then cannibal corpse
I am a huge painote fan and DM /BM fan. !!! The 2 together is awesome and hilarious both!!!
BEST P-NOTE EVER!!!!! Who got to pick the songs for Lisa? ENTOMBED!!!! CHEERS!
I would say the answer is Yes! Because you can take a song,dance,speech, ect..
and make it your own and it can be beautiful. Like remakes of songs> you sounded great!
Thanks interesting video.
I have only just watched this video but I adore this rendition.
I am going to give this a go, even though I am only just starting out on my piano journey with your videos.
How did you do that. Amazing.
Please tell how long did it take you. It would take me a year of Sunday's just to work out what key it was in let alone make up the accompaniment for it.
So jealous
Your awesome! Loved your version much more. Love your voice also. I truly identified with your reactions.
“Can death metal be beautiful?”
Question answered, it already is
Wicked, great job you made it beautiful ❤️
Ironically, metal music is perfect for me when I need to gather my senses. A big part of my autism is sensory issues and for some reason, the raw emotion of some metal songs is very soothing.
To understand metal music you have to dive deeper into it: understand the lyrics and emotions that they bring. Think about listening to it like it's a way to let your negative emotions out. There were a lot of studies which show, that people listening to metal music are on average happier than other people.
Loved it! I would certainly download your cover.
As a metalhead who's just starting to learn piano, I expected this video to be more educational, like explaining the structure of the song and the way you turn a guitar/bass/drums based track into a piano arrangement, it would have been interesting. Unfortunately you chose the "piano teacher reacts to death metal" path, missing a valuable opportunity. I like the channel and I'm thankful for the amazing lessons you have delivered for free, I just think this video could have been great, but it wasn't.
Watch the entire vid, dude.
Suss shred master Scott son
You actually showed me a new band here! 😂 I came for the awesome piano lessons you do and received a metal band (can I call it recommendation?) recommendation as a bonus! Awesome videos you do. I have learned so much in the past half hour of discovering your channel. Thanks you! 🙏
Oh and your Cover is super super beautiful! Very very well executed 😍
Solo piano sounds just so beautiful itself. Always loved it. You really did turn something not-so-beautiful to something, well, beautiful. :)
I'm more into earlier death metal that what Make Them Suffer represents. There's always the melodic death metal genre, and it's worth checking out for sure. Lots of great stuff in there.
But one band I want to bring out; Death.
Their earlier works (first 3 albums) really are masterpieces of their genre and style. Later works from Human and onwards (arguably) introduced a new style of death metal to the world.
Just put on their swansong 'The Sound of Perseverance' and you'll hear what I mean.
😂 I love this. 😂 You’re Dope!!! What a good idea for a video!!
Hahah lisa you are fun to watch..and your lessons are very helpful. God bless you :) thanks
Why does music always have to be "beautiful and lovely"? Open your mind and ears just a little.
Sounds Like Metalcore (Metallic hardcore) and crossover thrash
Traditional death metal include: morbid angel
Deathcore: Suicide silence
Tech death: Neceophagist
I'd call that more Metalcore or Deathcore more than Death Metal, but that's just me. I'm not a fan of that either although at one time I was. However, If you want to hear "beautiful", which I heard none of in your coworkers examples you need to listen to:
Clouds (official) - Durere (Funeral Doom)
Swallow the Sun - When a Shadow is Forced into the Light (Gothic Doom)
Trees of Eternity - Hour of the Nightingale (Melancholic Doom)
I'm 49 and I grew up on metal and played in a metal band 20yrs ago. My tastes have changed a bit over the years and I really prefer anything that's under 100 bpm. I just love the more emotional, slower, more ambient music that can "breathe" a bit more than screamcore, grindcore or death metal.
Hey Lisa could u make a video for early intermediate self taught players who form a major part in the piano community but are highly neglected? Just like tips on what they should start with how to improve how they could start improvising. (emphasis on EARLY INTERMEDIATE SELF TAUGHT). THANK U IN ADVANCE 😀 also thank u for being one of the best piano channel on UA-cam 😎
I love this idea Lisa!
I too thought for years metal was not for me, then my friends showed me "Power Metal" which has over-the-top lyrics, with catchy swelling choruses. Death Metal still I'm a bit shaky on as I like easier to hear lyrics, but after listening to the full "Erase Me" song you chose, it was pretty nice :).
Some of my favorite videos of yours are your quick and easy to accomplished song tutorials. I'd LOVE to have you give a "how to play" tutorial on a Power Metal song, they would likely be easier to dissect then this more challenging one.
Possible suggestions of Power Metal songs from my small pool:
-Slower emotional Metal Ballads
-Hammerfall - Glory to the Brave
-Iced Earth - Watching Over Me
-Great catchy melodic choruses
-Dragonforce - Through the Fire and the Flames
-Iced Earth - A Charge to Keep
-Hammerfall - Last Man Standing
Pro Tip: ease your way into this genre by listening to Vengeance Rising...
Also, going topless is always a great image for a death metal look... JK.
On a more serious note, check out some of the retro Christian "death" metal bands like VR and Mortification. The lyrics are a little more wholesome...
Love your stuff. You've taught me so much. Thank you.
Please listen to "Forgiven" by Within Temptation and maybe make a tutorial if possible.
"Who listens to this?" *eye rolls 360 degrees*
Can we please get the link to your finished reimagine?
She needs to check out Periphery. The piano/keyboard/pad is amazing. I think Jake Bowen (1 of the 3 guitar players) writes and records the parts. There are a lot of Metal bands that have awesome piano/keyboard parts.
For a sec, I forgot that this was a Death metals lyrics. Let me just tell you...
YOU ARE SO GOOD I STARTED LISTENING TO DEATH METALS SONG AND TRIED REVERSING THEM LIKE YOU DO
I’ve really got to admit...
You...are....DA BEST PIANO TEACHER EVER! YOU ARE SO AWESOME
Sorry, had a sugar rush- no. A DEATH METAL rush
Your version is AMAZING!
Liza that was very brave of you but the death metal music turn out to be very amazing in your arrangement (thousand thumbs up)
If you just drop the drums from "Erase Me", I'd bet you find it a lot more tolerable. For a long time, I said I liked all genres except two, Death Metal and Freeform Jazz. But I managed to find enough recommendations that I found one or two I could listen to, and then used Spotify and Pandora to suggest similar.
I have yet to do so for Freeform Jazz. Recommendations are welcome.
Dude, there was almost no death metal. Entombed was literally the only death metal band you heard. Try Cannibal Corpse, Necrophagist, Death, Deicide, Infant Annihilator(I don’t see them as deathcore), Abominable Putridity, Visceral Disgorge, Decrepit Birth… I could go on for days. It’s pretty incredible music once you understand it.
Good job! That was great :)
“Bow Down” by I Prevail
I’m sorry but she didn’t even try to listen to these songs, as soon as the screaming started she said she hated it and stopped
I heard "Make Them Suffer" and I expected the Cannibal Corpse song. Still not disappointed though, because the band called that is still pretty dope.
Yeah, same happened to me. At least the second band was Entombed, the only death metal band on this video.
For me, screaming death metal is the rap music of the metal genre. I hate it. But I love everything about this. This was inspiring and beautiful and I wish you'd done it for the whole song. You are intimidating and amazing and I appreciate all you do and try to teach us.
WTF are you talking about? You think al death metal bands play the same way? Death metal has a lot of sub-genres.
Facundo Gotmand Not sure how this random internet stranger's oppinion hit such a nerve, but yes I do know that. Hense my use of the word screaming. I love metal. I just really dislike screaming, growling or grunting lyrics. They do not appeal to me which is why I appreciated this video.
You don't have to make Death Metal beatiful, it already is!
Beautifull cover .. you nailed it
OMG hats off to you - very brave - great job :-)
did not see this coming, Lisa is awesome as always!!
Love all your videos Lisa! I only have this song lyrics for you " So I say thank you for the music, For giving it to me". Wíthout a doubt, I am sure you know from which song the lyrics came from. Thanks for making the world a musically brighter place to live in. May God bless you always!
Would love to hear a full version on piano 🎹- I love this song - do you have the sheet music available ?😮
We need a full version of your cover!!
The first song is deathcore :) Yes, Entombed is absolutely retro, at least as far as death metal is concerned.
Father of the Wolf Amon Amarth or Sell My Heart for Stones.
I recently bought the worship music pack that you offer on your website lol. I've been watching your videos for a while, and I love them. I'm a beginner to piano, because I'm a metalhead
“Toxicity” cover by Adele is my fav beautiful make over. Well done
"Can Death Metal Be Beautiful?"
That question can be answered by all the Death Albums after "Individual Thought Patterns"
are you suggesting everything before and including Individual Thought Patterns isn't beautiful?
Wow! 👍
Your version of this song is soooooo beautiful! 💖 💕🎹
