Be'lakor - Making Of - Riff 1: Sun's Delusion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Ever wondered how we write some of our riffs? It's often done electronically. This video dissects the components of the intro to the song Sun's Delusion, from our second album Stone's Reach (2009). It includes the chords, melodies and harmonies. What riff should we put up next?

Thanks for your support!
Ha! It's a bit like 8-bit Be'lakor.
I want to see From Scythe to Sceptre
I don't quite understand, you write them on your computer? How does that work? I can't imagine sitting down and thinking "oh hey, an F could go really well after that B!" myself.
Or do you mean you write the melodies playing a synthesiser?
The making of the riffs in "In Parting" would be interesting to see.
By the way, were you thinking of covering any songs for the next album? Or will it just have original songs?
This would make for epic 8bit boss battle music.
in parting :)))
Belakor: 8-bit edition.
From Scythe to Sceptre please. Thanks.
Well, this really wasn't anything to do with how the riffs are actually constructed; it was just a vid to show the riff as it sounds when programmed into Reason (or other app). There's no dialogue at all on what the riff is trying to achieve or how anyone came up with the riff, which is largely what I was expecting. Would be good to see this done in more detail really. Thx
Countless Skies - I considere it as the best Melodic Death Metal song EVER MADE
Awesome; a sophisticated music writing process for a sophisticated melodic death metal band.
Would like to see the making of 'From Scythe to Sceptre', 'Neither Shape nor Shadow' or 'Abeyance'
what program is it made in though?
Please do more of these… id like to hear so many but u can do in parting the 2 minutes after the intro
venator next
Do they deliver to Hong Kong? I really want a hard copy.
I guess you need a special gene for that..
The acoustic part of In Parting would be awesome, I love that bit to pieces. So beautiful.
Good stuff, respect guys.
From Scythe to Sceptre next please!
Sure do man. Just select the US/International option on our webstore. Thanks!
Fraught or Aspect next!
Put Fraught next!!!!
awesome as fuk!
'Countless Skies' would be amazing, as would 'In parting'.
All of them.
epic sheeit
dream and the waking :D
COUNTLESS SKIES :D
Remnants, please
Venator
Remnants
FUCKIN' LOVE THIS BAND!!!
Oops, this got re-uploaded, so I'll just repeat my comment. Coutnless Skies ftw!
And now: From Scythe to Sceptre, Commodore 64 version :)
That was amazing guys, thank you for sharing!
Best band of melodeath
every art has a beginning sequence and the final product of that art has nothing to do with that beginning sequence. @Be'lakor by revealing this sequence of your work, people like getting encouraged. This is an answer to "How do these awesome songs appear from nowhere?" or "What is the source of these riffs?" And the answer is hardwork. I'd like to see how Abeyance developed if it's possible :)
Oh wow, interesting to see one of my favourite bands writes (some of) their riffs pretty much the same way I do :P (ModPlug tracker, mostly because it's what I'm used to).
This happens to be my favourite Be'lakor riff too, so I'm not sure what to suggest for the next one hehe. Perhaps By Moon and Star? Absolutely love the main riff in that.
This is why you're awesome! I'm also one for Countless Skies, though I'd love to see how my favorite Held in Hollows came to be. And more generally, if you could explain sort of the steps each idea goes through until it becomes "complete". I'm just starting out in songwriting myself and you guys are a huge inspiration, but I'm having trouble building structure out of a single riff.. and determining when to stop expanding that riff and move on to the next one. Help would sure be appreciated.
By Moon and Star! Please!
Aspect would be great too! :D
From Scythe to Sceptre OFC
Thank you for good music!
I would like to see riffs:
Absit omen
Neither shape nor shadow
Venator
In parting
Abeyance
And playtrough with tabs
Thank you!
I'd love to see a documentary about Be'lakor, like what Parkway Drive Does
that's an interesting approach to writing :) great stuff as usual guys
Very strange, so you think of a melody in your head and immediately know which notes correspond? Are you some kind of musical genius?!
When I 'write' stuff I usually just improvise and sometimes come across something interesting or something that sounds good, then go from there.
What program do you use for these
do In Parting
The dream and the waking
..or maybe The Dream and the Waking..
Would you, please, be so kind and post the tabs here? :-)))
We're hoping to get tabs made at some point, but won't be for a while unfortunately!
