Black Metal in Different Tunings

- Black Metal is famous for using the E standard guitar tuning almost exclusively. What could it sound like if we changed the tuning and go a bit lower?

E Standard: Atilla's Freezing Moon
D Standard: Dead's Freezing Moon
Dead’s freezing moon tuning alone hits different
Transylvanian Hunger
Standard - Pure Evil
Eb - Depression
D - Anger
C - The Epic Battle
B - Damnation in Hell.
9 string black metal is where it's at
Eb - Slayer
D - Lamb of God
C - System of a Down
B - Metalcore
😎🤝
In C tuning it sounds kinda like 90’s In Flames
Playing a favorite song in an alternate tuning is like peering into a parallel dimension. It can be insightful.
I thought this said "peeing into another dimension. It can be insightful" and I was like "yeah, I guess?"
@@Vaedh there's an alternate dimension out there that hoards piss, i wouldn't immediately dismiss it
Freezing in D standard is literally Live in Leipzig.
And personally, I love writing in D standard. It's the perfect balance between both styles of speed and heavy.
I think the Live in Leipzig version was in Eb and the studio recording with dead was in D standard ruclips.net/video/TkRMpEoWugk/видео.html this is the stuido recording i'm talking about
yeah i've tried to play along to that version in Eb and too low for that
i think
Live in Leipzig was in Eb
@@Agathorn777 yeah their live albums were absolute shit for the most part. Really the only good thing about them is that they featured Dead
I love how Freezing Moon just gets more and more evil as the tuning goes lower.
Transylvanian hunger on Eb it's more like Transylvanian depression
I really liked it in C
@@Farvann i want to see the drop 👹 tuning
@@Helena-gk4ui I'd prefer 👹standard
@@Farvann well, the next video will be on 👹 standard tuning
i honestly love C tuning
Agreed. It sounds the most grim and haunting to me.
Ye, my favourite is B standard. It sounds like grimey and kinda like a Blackened Nu metal ish
Me too. And it helps that it’s only a half step up from B standard, which I can easily remember.
Eb is just such a cool tuning, love it!
Also this is a really nice video idea, I could see a Part 2 happening...
Why? It's just every string tuned just a half tone down. Only a half note is the difference between the standard E tuning. (every note that you played in E, now just half down tuned)
@@doboszozo90 still sounds cool
@@doboszozo90 "Just a half tone" can have a huge impact actually. The more I'm using Eb the more I like it!
@Zoltan Dobos why do you like any kind of tuning? It can not possibly be because it sounds nice right????
@@Farvann It's not just about tuning. This guitar itself sounds better than the others.
Mayhem on C = Stoner/Sludge
Behexen on B = Swedish Death n' Roll
Darkthrone on C/B = Melodeath
Burzum on D/C/B = Doom
I think Freezing Moon is wicked in D Standard! 🤘
Sounds like Mgla
Transylvanian hunger sounded great in E, then kinda fell off in Eb and D, then reached a new sound and atmosphere in C.
B standard darkthrone riff is my favorite tbh
I regret not discovering how powerful Eb sounds earlier
I use C Standard all the time and I like how black metal sounds on it. I can't say it's more brutal or something, but the atmosphere shifts to the different kind of darkness.
I love hearing the comparisons between the tones.
I remember my guitar teacher telling me about how scholars tried to assign certain "colors" and differentiate emotions to the same composition by transposing keys, tones and modes.
Considering its all supposed to be subjective, its really interesting
That was back when music was based on pure frequency relationships, the best we could do without frequency-reading technology
so for example E in C major would be different than E in G major, there would be a couple cent difference
So back then, different keys using the exact same note relationships would sound different i.e. moving the root to the new root
Just raw transposition didn't work like it does today, that's due to our "new" equal temperament system, when each note has a set frequency and CAN thus be the same between different keys
I wonder if that mindset had something to do with the human voice overlapping with instruments-of-the-day as well. I have not encountered the literature myself so I'm shooting from the hip. I think some keys are simply better for different singers (baritone, tenor, alto, etc.) I'm not simply talking about range, but also how they harmonize with other parts. Bass notes have different levels of impact depending on how muddy or non-muddy their tones will yield. Getting harmonized structures to still be both coherent AND deep and impactful without this muddy-dissonance is an interesting balancing beam to ponder (how low can you go?) -- try it yourself in a DAW, the experiments seem to be endless.
I'm 95% certain that this literature was probably very accurate when you consider both voice and instrumentation *of the time period* . Today, instruments and vocal techniques have changed, so it's all anachronistic. However, considering how notes interact with each other across all registers throughout the entirety of the piece is a point to ponder, and therefore, a lesson to learn instead of a black and white rule to follow.
@@LikeTheBirb correct
I really like D standard, but C standard and drop C are also very nice tunings.
This comparison confirms my love for Eb and C standard. Eb sounds more depressive and C is more grim, evil and angry.
Eb and D are the bests depending on the sound, you can really hear what they were composed in
What's your favourite tuning for Black Metal?
Eb standard, but classic tuning is also very cold
Double drop C.
in my opinion D is the best one
drop G
@@variousartistrecordsoff based.
Most Metal I like low tuned, but black metal in Standard tuning is just so cold and beautiful.
Eb Darkthrone and B standard Burzum sound awesome 🤘🏻
D tuning sounds right. It's the perfect grave and chunky middle - not too heavy, nor too bland.
D standard is actually the correct tuning for that Behexen song
Almost everything sounded best in E standard, hard to admit as a 7string guitarist. The darkthrone riff had a nice vibe in C but overall... it is E standard. Learned a thing here, thanks man
Great video man! I have always been a sucker for E standard, I always liked BM in higher tunings!
I have to say, I have never played in Eb before. It makes the songs sound a little more sinister, it's interesting. Most of the time I write and record in D tuning, though.
C# Standard is interesting too - albeit more for the melancholic stuff, I think.
@@Schwalbe1728 I'll bear that in mind. Might be cool to try out
@@BESTIAL-CRUCIFIER 80+% sure Dream Of The Dead Sun by ColdWorld is C# Standard.
Those downtuned Burzum riffs sound really damn interesting, actually
A few people were asking so heres all the songs
1. Freezing Moon - Mayhem
2. A Distant Call from Darkness - Behexen
3. Transylvanians Hunger - Darkthrone
4. Imago Mortis - Marduk
5. Dunkelheit - Burzum
Eb standard seems like it would be the go-to if not using standard for BM... some of these alternate tunings seem to work for some of these songs though, but in general if you play them in a low enough tuning they start to sound like Blackened Death or Death Metal LOL
Damn, listening to a song lowered by just one semitone can make it sound like a whole new song. That’s why I sometimes lower my tunings in my black metal covers.
Idk why but Marduk just makes more sense to my ears at B standard.
Oh fuck... the Death Metalhead in me is making me like all of them more and more the lower the tune goes. 😖
😄
For me surprisingly the best tunings are Eb and B standard. I dont know why, they are totally different but to me theh just sound so good
Eb is my favorite tuning i'd say
I appreciate the video it’s rlly educational for my black metal music career I’m just starting to evolve
Now play “The Loss & Curse of Reverence” by Emperor in drop G
Burzum in C sounds incredible!
D standard seems like the best compromise between clarity and deepness.
Never thought Eb would be my favourite, a lot more haunting tone
Amazing video! Part 2 please
Freezing Moon could have been a really good Doom Metal Riff!
Mayhem in C Standard sounds like a song Inquisition would make
I wonder what black metal would sound like in A Standard(Korn Tuning) probably would sound really dark and heavy
U should listen to portal, it's kinda BM. they play in a and f on 7 a string
It fits really well in my opinion. Many BM songs are written in D standard, and the deep A string can add a whole new dimension. I know it's a mainstream, but Batushka even use 8-string guitars, Kragkh from Belarus too.
I honestly liked Eb and C standart the most with most of the songs
For Me the favorite is Eb because i can still hear the High note melody
Why no love for C# standard?
Jokes aside, love the sound of E, D and B standard.
It's a shame he didn't include it. Hopefully next video
God this really drives home how perfect Transylvanian Hunger is
I feel the older style BM is best in E.
Tanks for shearing
THIS IS A SCAM!!! farvann is just trying to show off his guitars. loveya!
😄
Freezing moon in C standard sounds very similar to Gorgoroth.
This was coool 👍
Damn.. Imago mortiz caught me by surprise.. Not the ''regular'' Marduk-song people choose.
Honestly some of them sound so much better in different tunings because certain tunings complement the riff
Especially tremolo picking
most of the tremolo picked stuff also sound less like the theme for a comically evil cartoon vampire due to tremolo picked Black Metal riffs kinda having that organ like distressed sound but when down tuned they kinda begin sounding more like some late 80’s 1st wave Black Metal.
Maybe i am just wrong but to me that’s what sounds so good about some.
First wave black metal bands used to play in C# standard
Great video
Dunkelheit in D standard is amazing
With B standart Burzum start sound like doom metal
Killer tone man! What exactly did You use? You're still playing with Amplitube?
Yes! Thanks!
Very cool!👍
I went for an E standard kinda guy to a C standard but I still play both.
Sind das Informationszwecke, oder willst du uns nur alle deine Gitarren zeigen ?
Ich finde beides gut !
Ich will Werbung für die Squier machen, damit ich die für mehr Geld verkaufen kann :D
Ist die Durbatuluk-Gitarre! 50€ kann ich doch bestimmt dafür verlangen
@@Farvann Vintage Strat, bringt locker 500 Euro wenn sie schön gelb ist !
1:52 The way you keep changing the key downwards sounds like something that could actually work in a black metal context.
Same for 3:24
I think the black metal womans will love the 🖤🦇D🦇🖤 the most
Freezing Moon in c standard is pretty groovy. I like it
Dunkelheit in d standard sounds like gojira a bit
Standard D is amazing
darkthrone in b standard is literally just dsbm lmao
Wow sehr schön 👍 klingt mit jedem halben Ton tiefer mehr *EVIL* 👹
...aber vermutlich muss man deutlich öfter die Saiten nachstimmen?!
...aber dein Gitarresound ist schon ein Brett 👍🤘🤘👍Geil.
Beste Grüße
Ich hab ein Tape von dir! 😁
@@Farvann 🙂...ich bald hoffentlich auch eins von dir 🙌🤘🤣👍
...ich freu mich schon ✌️😉
Darkthrone im drop c is bad ass
That fucking slayer tuning is the most badass tuning of all and d standard as well it works on every dimmu borgir song when you play it one step down their classics
I can't really say if it's the guitar sound or the tuning itself, but Eb sounds so mean... Looks like I might tune up a half step from D to Eb
I had some involuntary stink face, the music was bangin
you forgot C# standard.
Is that a coding reference? 😄
Mayhem in Eb Standard sounds great.
Behexen sounds good in either D or C Standard.
Darkthrone in C Standard is great.
Marduk in Eb or D is good.
Burzum in Eb or C is preferable.
Eb, C and B are my favorite.
Also, Eb tuning always kinda reminds me of Slayer and Alice in chains.
Shit burzum sounds really nice down tuned
Big fan of alternate tuning these days. For example, try out F,A,C,G,A,E (open Fmaj9).
Pretty cool! Do a Pink Floyd in different tunings video next🎸🔥🦝🐼🦡🦓
E Flat and B standard are my favorites.
Behexen name song?
A Distant Call From Darkness
Really enjoy Eb tuning
Jawoll behexen!!!!
D TUNING MY ONLY LOVE
Gregory Guitar has returned.
Wrong shirt 😁
Transilvanian Hunger in D standart is very cool
Songs are getting darker.... and so does the tuning....
Eb for black metal style riffs and C for chunky death metal like riffs
beim teutates...! cool
C is the way 🤘😈🤘
I was todays years old when discover BM can be MORE BM
Eb works really well
Farvann, did you heard about the band Al-Namrood ? If you didn't i suggest you to listen to their music, the best album is Enkar in my opinion, if you know a similar band please tell me
good video!
the necks on those Ultra Swedes are pretty sweet eh?
He played black metal with a stratocaster!!!!!!1!!11!!!!
It's been a while since I read a comment like that
@@Farvann have you ever made a video showing your physical music collection? CDs and vinyls?
@@sleepforever8378 The complete collection? No. I only started with it. Just search for "Farvann's CD collection"
The question is why no C# in the test.
Transilvanian Hunger becomes more DSBM with every tune change
I personally think D standard is the best for Black Metal. Not high enough for a regular metal song, also not low enough for some Deathcore type shit
Eb Black metal is just Slayer wearing a blouse :D and yes...I'm just kidding ;)
Eb for the win.
Transilvanian Hunger on Eb fucks hard
Transylvanian hunger in C and B standard 😩😩😩
I've used damn near every tuning at some point, and for regular black metal, my favorite is either Eb or B standard. Eb can get such a sinister tone, and adds just a little bit of grit, while B standard has a mournfulness for some black/doom. I've even played with Drop E on a 6 and 7 and had some decent results too. Just about how your phrasing is. :)
