0:32 you summoned the black cat of infernal carnage and suffering straight out of hell. When you're bass playing can do that you know you're badass. Love your playing, your videos and your band :D cheers mate!
Ok you are the bassist of one of my favourite bands, you have a logitech g9x, a steelseeries mousepad and a razer blackwidow ultimate. Man you are an awesome bassist and a badass pc gamer too? So epic \m/
Actually, I have a Qpad Mk-85 keyboard, a Roccat Pure optical, Logitech Proteus, R.A.T 7 and an old Logitech MX518 hooked up ATM. It's nice to have options.
Most would say impossible to play. What is does for me is inspire me to practice, practice, practice. I'm sure it's taken years of long days of practice to get this good. Bands like Spawn and Gorod (the masters) have taken extreme music, but rather than sounding like one long random jam, they have evolved and made this form of music into an art form which I can listen to for hours. It's complex but well constructed. Long may tech death reign!
Love this track. Really respect what you do on youtube. It's every fans dream to see their heroes play their actual songs in a non concert/band setting. Very cool
Finally someone who appreciates the intricacies I subtly try to incorporate to make this whole thing a bit more entertaining. I applaud your observation skills!
I love at 0:47 how you hit the accents super hard, it makes it sound super punchy. On another note, what do you think are the easiest and hardest SoP songs?
It was a christmas gift from my aunt -05, and it has endured screwdrivers and coffee beans ever since. I don`t see any reason for learning songs I don`t have to, easy as that.
David J Both are stupidly difficult but Alex and Erlend play in different styles. Pick bassists will have a harder time playing this definitely though.
Thank you Erlend,this is my favourite track from SoP and by you; What's in that cup? A little bit of blood of some strange monster you killed in the mountains?
I use Logitech G9X, Roccat Kone and Logitech MX510 on my main computer, with the Steelseries pad and Razer Black Widow. For my livingroom computer I use the Dinovo Edge from Logitech plus their G700 wirelesss, which I also use at work. So, in terms of recommending stuff I can`t really vouch for anything since it`s all a matter of taste and what kinda games you play, so I`d say check reviews of said mice and keyboard and see if it`s a fit.
I love reading your smartass comments when you reply to people. They're funny! You're one of my two favorite bass players. Not sure what's going on with SoP but I hope there is another album in the works!
I love your tshirts. Where can i find the nyancat tshirt you were wearing at the last show in Köln, Germany? (If i remember well, my memory is quit fuzzy ahah)
i see you have a black widow keyboard, just bought mine not to long ago, love it!. We should game. awesome vid too!! thinking of getting a Warwick corvette nt as well, is it worth it? I love the corvette models.
It's implicit that everyone do their homework, as with any band in this genre, before one sets out doing any sort of shows. Nope. Never received royalties of any kind and I've gotten maybe half a regular paycheck accumulated for all my years of touring. No one except the biggest names(CC, Behemoth, Dimmu etc.) in the genre can make a living playing this sort of music.
+Butcher6evil III If you enjoy hobbies that takes half a life time to master, will haemorrhage you money with nothing in return, and go on van-tours in Canadian mountains where you slip off the road and almost die every other day, then by all means go for it.
I see no likes here, so you might actually be right. Also, if you find what my cat is doing funny\interesting, there`s this thing called Google where you can search for lolcats where you will be just amazed at what cats today are able to do which was not possible before. They`re like little people (midgets), I start laughing just thinking about it haaha ah ah aahah
Currently learning this on guitar. It's fuckin hard.
hey
9 years ago. Are you still practicing?
And the resulting banjo cover is an internet classic.
ROB U THERE M8?
Wow. Now imagine if he drank all the coffee before he started playing...
I believe it`s this weird thing called practice followed by muscle memory.
0:32 you summoned the black cat of infernal carnage and suffering straight out of hell. When you're bass playing can do that you know you're badass.
Love your playing, your videos and your band :D cheers mate!
UNDERRATED COMMENT
Just when I thought I was getting good at Bass...
feel u
I like my cat
Ok you are the bassist of one of my favourite bands, you have a logitech g9x, a steelseeries mousepad and a razer blackwidow ultimate.
Man you are an awesome bassist and a badass pc gamer too?

So handsome.
This is seriously the highest level of musicianship and technicality I could ever hope or want to achieve as a metal bassist, cudos good sir

1:59 I guess the cat loves that section too
This is probably the most uplifting post I`ve ever received on here. Thanks.
Its 2018 n im still watching this. new album please qwq
ha ha ha the cat!!! you're a genius!!! I love your plaing style!!!! Master of masters!!!
Awesome Erlend mug!
Finally someone who appreciates the intricacies I subtly try to incorporate to make this whole thing a bit more entertaining. I applaud your observation skills!
CAT!
Dat bass tone... My god!
Muted camera, audio recorded in Nuendo and put together with Windows Movie Maker.
0:32
- Cat : Who the fuck do that sick bass cover ?
- Cat : O master thats you ..
Sick bass cover dude ..
amazing as always! please dont stop making videos erlend...
After all, the cat is the real star on this video. hahaha xD
I love at 0:47 how you hit the accents super hard, it makes it sound super punchy.
On another note, what do you think are the easiest and hardest SoP songs?
+James Moran The only song of theirs I can play is scorched so I guess that is the easiest.
Jonathan Keeler I can play Scorched and Dead And Grotesque, I thought D&G was a bit easier. Different styles though.
How did you learn dead and grotesque? Did you look at the guitar parts and the playthrough and figure it out or are the TABs out there?
Jonathan Keeler There are 100% accurate tabs including drums and solos on songsterr or ultimate guitar
Ill check out songsterrr, but ultimate guitar is without bass.
I noticed that you approached your mug from two different spots, impressive!
Yes! Servitude of Souls please! And I look forward to your next video's outros lol
the cat exit hahahahahahahahahahaha
Was I the only one who spent the video watching for the cat instead of listening to the bass?
I see you like Steelseries as well. Always nice to hear an audible bassist in metal.
Yeah great cat !
Came here to watch a guy take two sips of coffee. Wasn't disappointed.
KITTY!
Dude this is ridiculously good!
I like your razor keyboard. Sick bass playing as always, best around in my opinion!
It was a christmas gift from my aunt -05, and it has endured screwdrivers and coffee beans ever since. I don`t see any reason for learning songs I don`t have to, easy as that.
Just so you know, to this day, I drop your name every chance I get. Fucking legend.
Any cat will be soothed and\or wooed by fret noise from a bass.
hahahah that cat seems to be pretty happy :D!
haha loved the cat. Nice cover too.
Please upload a Servitude of Souls video, it's so awesome, and your tone on it is like a Chain saw xD
You're amazing man!
I have one of those here in Iceland with my name on it. The best mugs.
So me and the cat doesn`t get confused.
Ooooooh you! *old man pointing cane and glasses-gesture*
An appropriate reply for the *king
Nice coffee mug.
Nice love this song. Cheer mate :)
I have the same mug! With my name on it ofcourse. Also nice gaming gear :D Incurso is awesome.
Let's talk about: Coffee.
And here was I thimking frantic disembowelment is impossible.
David J Both are stupidly difficult but Alex and Erlend play in different styles. Pick bassists will have a harder time playing this definitely though.
OMFG! :O
I was asking about the coffee mug, but that works too.
Thank you Erlend,this is my favourite track from SoP and by you;
What's in that cup? A little bit of blood of some strange monster you killed in the mountains?
Aww that coffee cup says Erlend
Duuude, I hope to be as good as you one day :D you are amazing :D
0:36 LOL. The cat ran away because he was afraid of Technical death metal XD
3:00 to skip the three minute intro and go straight to the coffee sipping.
great cover man!
Nah man - just for kicks. Jumped to conclusions there - just by shitty laptop speakers destroyed the smooth low Hz ear massage ..

where does your cat go when you are on tour?
where can i get a cup like that,,lol great job as always erland,,do you like spawn of possession or something,,why all the covers,,hahahah
god damn what a beast
and no fuck was given that day by the cat :P
i like your cat
cool, we have same coffee cups.
oh yeah nice playing too i guess
Some day, please show us all your basses. In a video.
Hey Erlend, can you make a video playing Servitude of Souls? I love the bass in the intro!
So that is your secret to how fast you play! Many cups of coffee.
I have the same cup...
Seven.
Meow!
I love reading your smartass comments when you reply to people. They're funny! You're one of my two favorite bass players. Not sure what's going on with SoP but I hope there is another album in the works!
We're working on it, but it's a terribly slow process.
Bet that is stressful! Awesome to know there is more stuff coming though. Thanks!
If you don't mind, where did you get that rad shirt?
I love your tshirts. Where can i find the nyancat tshirt you were wearing at the last show in Köln, Germany? (If i remember well, my memory is quit fuzzy ahah)
are you a warwick endorser?
that's an awesome bass.. and awesome bass playing too.
Ambiguous comment, but for all I know my aunt had it custom made to fit my name on it that christmas in `98.
i see you have a black widow keyboard, just bought mine not to long ago, love it!. We should game. awesome vid too!! thinking of getting a Warwick corvette nt as well, is it worth it? I love the corvette models.
Orange juice + vodka.
Erlend, does Spawn of Possession understand that Church of Deviance is their best song?
How much practice do you do with Spawn Of Possession, like do you play together once a week or something, or do you just practice individually?
+Butcher6evil III We've done two tours and rehearsed twice, from what I recall.
Weird considering how fucking difficult your stuff is. Do you make a living of playing death metal?
It's implicit that everyone do their homework, as with any band in this genre, before one sets out doing any sort of shows.
Nope. Never received royalties of any kind and I've gotten maybe half a regular paycheck accumulated for all my years of touring. No one except the biggest names(CC, Behemoth, Dimmu etc.) in the genre can make a living playing this sort of music.
***** Fair. But it seems like an easy hobby, just practice and then go out and tour a bit. Is it an easy hobby to have?
+Butcher6evil III If you enjoy hobbies that takes half a life time to master, will haemorrhage you money with nothing in return, and go on van-tours in Canadian mountains where you slip off the road and almost die every other day, then by all means go for it.
Svenskt kaffe?
Damn how many basses do you have boy? .-.
Aw, you have a coffee mug with your name on it. Is that a custom signature model by Warwick?
Holy shit ur fast
brutal cat
Try walking bass... It's sooo awesome. 😊
Do you play quake with the other members of SOP?
upload swarm of the formless

огонь!!)
All of them warwick?
Want his name and address? You can barely hear the guitar and still it`s not loud enough? Kids these days ...
Sad that this band had to go. Oh well,at least the music is still out there.
Too Bad Mr. Bryssling doesn't do it :/
Standard Double buck bubinga NT.
please erluuund remake spawn of possession-spawn of possession
Oh, don`t think too much about it, `twas only random ranting at nothing. And I got no dislikes cause people are boring :/
if i can*
What tuning??
drop R37
5-string bass/ 7- string guitar
I sold it after a few months. Blue cherry MX are pretty darn awful. For me at least.
Uhhhhhhhhh........🥴😵🤯🤢🤮 Dope AF!!!
