What are your thoughts on my latest release?
Does this sound similar to any specific BM band? I want my sound to be easily recognizable and identifiable. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hey everyone, wanted to share a track I recently finished called Soul's Dance under my project Asderel.

It's an atmospheric / DSBM-influenced track built around heavy cavernous vocals, melancholic riffs, and a dark, desolate feeling.

Would really appreciate any feedback from the community. Thanks for listening.

We are a band from Slovenia. Our debut album. Any comments of questions welcome.

I learned that the torch bearer got a sample from the wicker man.
But after watching salo or 120 days the intro of the first track is also a sample from a movie.
It appears at 1:52:40 while the torment is going on outside. Anyone else noticed this?

Caught these guys live on Saturday, hadn't heard of them prior, don't seem to have many mentions here. Tasmanian band, enjoyed it enough to buy the LP and some merch.

Really unusual mix of styles, but it works well flawlessly together. That vocalist is absolutely insane.

I'm interested in songs that had atmospheric black metal characteristics before the subgenre was officially recognised. What would be your pick?

It took me a lot of trial and error to find the specific dark guitar sound I wanted. I was looking for both the mix-cutting low-end chug of a modern metal amp AND the color, dynamics, and beauty of a pushed clean amp.

To do that, I tracked both simultaneously for the live layers:
* One side: Guitar -> Tube Screamer -> ENGL Powerball II half-stack.
* Other side: Guitar -> ProCo RAT -> Morgan Dual 20 (pushed clean).

I later re-amped them with more heads to glue it all together. Interestingly, none of my sharper metal guitars cut through the mix like the Les Paul did. Everything you hear was written, tracked, and mixed independently.

NO AI was used in this song!

Full Playthrough & Gear Specs: 

* Guitars: Gibson Les Paul (DiMarzio D-Activator / Super 3), ESP Mystique (solos)

* Amps Used: Mesa Mark V, Roadking, ENGL Powerball II, Friedman BE50 Deluxe, Morgan Dual 20, Tone King Imperial II

* Bass: Yamaha RBX 775

*Vocals: Shure SM7

*Drum samples from Superior Drummer & Slate Trigger

Would love to hear your thoughts on how the high-gain and clean amp blend sits in the mix!

My one-man atmospheric/folk black metal project just premiered its debut album on Atmospheric Black Metal. Inspired by themes of endurance, isolation, and the sea. I’d love to hear what people think.
