Just cycle through brilliant riffs Chuck Schuldiner style, more or less. Maybe add atonal passages between the riffs for a smoother ride and boom- you've got yourself a banger
I like how the “That’s it!” was still in the recording lol but this man actually made an Opeth song in five minutes You should do Death or Slipknot next
Death - play a bunch of awesome riffs that surprise the listener all the way up to a blistering solo, then boringly repeat everything that came before in the exact same manner. Repeat this formula for 99% of the catalog. Death are in my top 5 favorite bands but I really wish they didn't follow that formula. I usually end up skipping to the next song once the solo's over
@@raihidara I get what you mean but I don't really mind them doing that, because the riffs and the melodies are so good, so I'm actually happy they repeat them a lot
It's called "bembe" or something like that iirc. My theory for how it got wrapped up in the band's sound is that Mendez was jamming with it someday and Akerfeldt went "I like that, can you play that for the next 10 years?"
@@toprak3479 Just a double paradiddle with accents in interesting places? Anyways that beat is one of my favourite things from Opeth, just has such a groove to it. Martin Lopez is such an awesome drummer, wish he was still in the band. Really impressed that despite not being a drummer, Bradley has listened to enough Opeth that he's internalised that beat!
Damn you really missed the chance to use “My Cheese, Your Cake” instead of “Cheesewater Park” lmao but anyways good video you nailed it, sounds like something that would come from Still Life
"Oh wow, he wrote a song in under five minutes that isn't bad!" *Stares at album I've been trying to write for the past 2 and a half years* "Fuck's sake"
@@stormcorrosion176 well he may have too much energy for your taste, i feel that way too, but you gotta give him respect for his abilities. It's not a masterpiece on par with Opeth but he legitly recorded a snippet that kinda sound like opeth in 5 minutes... "this adhd clown" is pretty good. You sound like a bellend.
This is so good. Love these kinda videos. Love the mix of irony, rawness,self humour and also just really good music playing and well done parodies. A good mix of quality and humour content. Thanks for your videos Bradley!
So far the most accurate song. It’s impressive that you managed to write 0.04% of an Opeth song in such a short amount of time, and without using a 3/4 time signature!
@@jonw3462 most of morningrise, my arms your hearse, and still life, are 3/4, and nearly all of blackwater park is in 3/4 aside from occasional 4/4 stuff. Main riff of ghost of perdition is 3/4 along with the quiet bass part of Baying of the hounds.
@@SideWays8Productions fuck your right lol. And I can play the Moor, ghost of perdition, leper affinity and black water park. I always think of 3/4 as waltz and not rele metal unless it's just triplets in 4/4
The fact that you do drums like that on your midi KB is astonishing to me. I've gotta learn that. Programming the hits in one at a time is so time consuming.
Greetings from Argentina...these series are amazing ...i use them in my guitar classes as an example of musical creativity and how to be in the moment ...thanks a lot
Should do The Faceless. Tremolo picked riffs ending with weirdly stretched chord, sudden sweep picking lick, accidentals, and tremolo picking sections. In no particular order.
I love the special effects El dog o El fart o El poop o. I got to get me one of those misfit shirts that is awesome. Keep up the good work I'm laughing so hard I think I pooped my pants.
The real key to an Opeth song is to have at least 5 different utterly brilliant riffs, worthy of their own song each, within a 5 minute window.

I was hoping for an "asunder" in there, though 😞
Love how the akustik guitar recorded the "yeah" sound at the end.
Yeah, the acoustic and bass were picking up other sounds
Next one is "5mins mayhem" just scream in the akustik pick up -> profit

Reminds me of "not too shabby right", Opeth did that!
Your ability to capture the essence of a band is second to none
No! No!
Not "Someone stole my cheesecake, sorrow"
But "A malevolent being retrieved the loaf and cheese of mine and I'm in dismay"
Thats too british for a swedish band )
@@exhostosis It's pretty accurate for Opeth though lol
Now just we need is a remix remaster from Steven Wilson.
This needs to happen

Then it would be tighter than a witch’s cleft.
This is a real studio recording from Blackwater Park's studio session. Steven just hadn't come into the studio yet kappa
I was literally listening to Opeth when this came out
Same here hahaha

The "proggy bit" drum beat was the exact drum beat I was expecting to hear in this video. They use it so often lol.
It's a beat that's used in latin jazz a lot.

There's really no worse sorrow than cheesecake sorrow :(
Fingers crossed ! Find out soon
I love how the "that's it" made it into the cut.
Definitely lol'd at that
This proves, beyond any doubt, how fucking talented Bradley and Opeth are.

@@BradleyHallGuitar Thank you 🙏
I like how he catches the style of the band. It is so recognizable.
It's like a discount version of April Ethereal
Cheesecake Ethereal
That main riff is actually awesome. Nailed it yet again 👍
I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast.
In Cheddar Venenum or Rever-brie/Harlequin Forest would be good titles too 😀 nice job fellow Brit!
Edam of the Fall
Not alot of people know it, but this is actually how Mikael Åkerfeldt writes their songs.
Not anymore though, plus the 'prog' phase sounded different.
Each episode in this series is like a documentary of a man losing his sanity
Agree 😅
PLEASE WE NEED AVENGED SEVEFOOOOOOOOLD 🥺❤️
Now whenever I play Opeth songs and I play a riff that sounds like that one in the middle I can't help but shout "PROGGY BIT"
You guys need to hear me out on this one:
Demon Of The Fall = Bradley Of The Hall*
You're welcome
I'd love to see one of these for System of a Down or Ghost
Throw in some Steven Wilson production and you're there
maybe next: cannibal corpse, anthrax, NIN, rammstein, gojira, mastodon and LoG
Mastodon would be great actually
"Oh wow, he wrote a song in under five minutes that isn't bad!"

Other youtubers should do this and call it the Bradley Hall Speedrun Challenge. These are fantastic!
Sounded very Still-Life-ish :)! Great job tbh
First electric riff actually sounded like Emperor. You definitely have to make an emperor song as well.
ASAP!

Aren’t most of their songs over 5 minutes long?
Should've copy-pasted to bring it up to a nice round 12

Practically indistinguishable from Opeth. Fantastic job.

That riff is unironically fucking sick.
Honestly, that was pretty dang good for 5 minutes
That clean "Sorrow" broke me haha. Job well done, dude!
I love how a classic opeth song is like 10 minutes and youre just fucking doing it in 5 minutes but i love it
Also EVERYONE knows good opeth bass comes from Orchid so that FAT fucking bass is where its at
I was playing opeth - the grand conjuration when the video was posted lol
Smashing job old sport! Death speed run next?! Would love to hear your take of chucks voice 😂😂😂
Masterpiece!
Interestingly Opeth’s bass tone is very rarely distorted but has more of a clean, jazz tone
By far my favorite speed run you’ve done !!
Headbanger absolutely killed me lol 😂
this deserved at least 10 minutes
The #1 everrrr jajajajaja make me smile alwaysss. Grettings from 🇺🇾
Should do The Faceless. Tremolo picked riffs ending with weirdly stretched chord, sudden sweep picking lick, accidentals, and tremolo picking sections. In no particular order.
Man I love how you noticed the small details, like the bass tuned to dropped D. 10/10
So it's like April Ethereal and Bleak but with Brendon Small's vocals on top.
No fucking way you just did Opeth...and NAILED IT!!! Sounds like serenity painted death xD
What a legend
Dude this is brilliant!
Those lyrics completely changed my life! Thanks for that Bradley.
I was scared of watching this, because I love Opeth so much. It was pretty damn funny :) gj

That sorrow cheesecake part really hits me
It does sound like Opeth until the clean vocals hit.
